Number 73 London Bus,
We met Sue a recent retiree on holiday on Polly Joke beach, Cornwall.
She wanted to re-engage with her body boarding childhood and seeing our Herbie 53 board, asked “could we produce a bespoke similar style board but re-badged 73?”
For many years her daily commute had been courtesy of London Transports no.73 Red Bus
Well in future Sue would still literally be “Boarding” the no.73 but in an altogether more memorable way.
