Here's another. Churchill slalom. It looks like a Connelly Hook, right down to the grooves on either side of the concave tunnel. I think the most beautiful ski of the era. I know that Danny C designed slaloms and other. Had some correspondence with one of his daughters but the Connelly connection was uncertain. My semi-wildass guess is that Danny C designed this, produced a few and Connelly acquired the design.

It's more like the MAHA 360's or Taperflex Wake Jumper. Same length, square tail, etc. West coast almost certain and maybe out of the Seattle lineage.

I have a Hustler square-tail in beautiful condition. Cannot find any information on it. Anyone know about the brand, lineage, etc.?

I'm new to this forum, this is my first post. Really dig reading about the legacy/vintage stuff. I'm a hack skier, only been on the course 8 times or so...pretty hilarious to everyone in the boat, not so much to me. In my collection: 20 Maha's. Some favorites are Yellow glass LaPoint, wood and glass 360's, Wood LaPoint that don't think anyone besides me every skied. A rare Maha combo set. Love the look, history and riding them...though I don't know enough to say easy or hard to ride. Wood O'Brien, my first ski after learning on combos when about 21 years old. Still ride it some. EP Comp X-2. My first glass ski, about 1975. What I skied until mid-90's when I bought my lakehouse and bought a HO old guy ski. First reaction...holy crap. Taperflex 68 and Taperflex Wide Tunnel. Have the box for the Wide Tunnel, was the first to ever ride it about 7 years ago. Vogue. Have 3 of them. Beautiful skis. Connelly Hook. Churchill. Would love to know more about this ski. Looks just like the Hook to me. CG Diamondback. Western Wood Mach 3. Also some WW trick skis. Had a bunch of CG stuff, I was a jerk and wouldn't let anyone ski my O'B or EP. In my collection: El Diablo, my barefoot step off ski. El Bruto. Little Monster, a heckuva story behind this one. Big Monster. Diamondback, what a great looking ski. Trick Masters. Ski Skat. Super Ski Skat. Dog Bones. Some other stuff I forgot. Thanks for opportunity to share.
