A portion of the sales will be donated to the Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku Foundation Scholarship Fund.

The previous auction, held in 2005, brought in more than $300,000.

Vintage surfboards, both made of foam and wood, were the top performers, exceeded pre-auction estimates.

The 11-foot Buzzy Trent model "Surfboards Hawaii" elephant gun shaped by Dick Brewer went for $33,000 — more than double its pre-auction estimate of $15,000.

"With only three of these boards known to be in existence, this was the equivalent of a car collector coming across a special edition handmade Ferrari," said event producer Randy Rarick, in a news release.

An original, 5-foot redwood "Alaia" board from 1985 sold for $27,000.

In all, the six wooden boards in the auction fetched in excess of $100,000.

"While many of the foam boards were collectible because of their notable shapers and riders, the wooden boards are highly desirable purely because of their historic significance," Rarick said. "They are true artifacts."

Attending the auction were four-time world champion Mark Richards, Pipeline Masters champions Gerry Lopez and Rory Russell, and Terry "The Sultan of Speed" Fitzgerald of Australia.

Hundreds of people turned out for Friday's "Antique Road Show"-style appraisal.

One major find was a Pat Curren balsa surfboard from the late 1950s, brought in by retired Hawaiian Airlines pilot Mel Souza, who flew the airlines' last DC3. The surfboard sold for $7,500 in Saturday's auction.

Rarick said it's too early to know if he'll be prepared to host another auction in two year's time, but promised he will never say "never."
