Does anyone know who made/makes this piece of plastic toy surf or what the name of the toy is that it was originally part of? I got it at the swap meet a few weeks ago. It is 12 incles long; I have included in the picture a Foundry 28mm figure for additional scale. When I found it, it was in a huge pile of other broken toys and I have no idea who manufactured it. I would love to get a few more pieces to use along the beach of my cannibal/treasure island. I’d appreciate any help you can offer in discovering who the maker is. Thank you.

Looks like something from Ice Age? Disney movie.

Poiter50, thanks for the idea. I just checked ebay and amazon for what they had related to Disney Ice Age toys… no luck. But I do appreciate the help. Richard

Could be from a Lilo and Stitch Disney set - there was surfing in the movie.

Thanks Gollad. Lilo and Stitch makes a lot of sense. I check ebay and amazon and found nothing close, but the Lilo and Stitch idea is worth following and I will. If anyone comes up with a toy name, manufacturer name or another idea of the toy's original, please let me know. Richard

Doesn't look too difficult to scratch a piece like that one and what about silicon moulding it?
-
Svenn, casting it may well be what I'll have to do, but I just thought that the best place to start was finding out more about where it came from in the hope that I could pick a few up at less cost and trouble than going through the moulding and casting process. If I did cast it, it would probably be in resin and that wouldn't be cheap.

Was it at a church swapmeet? The verticalness on one side and straight line form makes me think of Moses parting the red sea.
-
Are there any manufacturers marks, codes or details on the inside? They may give you a clue or narrow it down for you.
-
It has something of the McDonald's Happy Meal about it, but is it too big?
-
No maker's marks or dates of any kind. I believe those must have been located on the pieces that attached to both ends. I have never seen those. When I picked this up it was as you see it but based on the slots at both ends I am sure things were originally attached at both ends.
