Shaky dull in contrast and imagery - DOS The annual Aquaplane Derby from 44 miles at sea to Hermosa Beach gets away to a roaring, rip-snorting start with 20 craft competing. Frank Rodacker skips across the line to finish first. The boats towing skiers on a single board and I think that's where the name Ironing Board Derby comes into play.
