In 1964, the board found its way onto the set of the surf film "Ride the Wild Surf," where it received four coats of paint, a logo reading “Surfboards by Phil,” and was ridden by a character named Eskimo.

Field’s autograph, along with that of Dale Velzy and Kathy Kohner-Zuckerman (aka, the “real” Gidget), is visible on the board’s deck. The original Velzy logo has been exposed at the very base of the tail. 9 ft., 4 in. Still Image eskimo* Pepperdine University: Pepperdine Digital Collections |
