Hello guys. I have a mate who wants to sell me this old surf board. It about 6ft 6in long, with no designer name or inscriptions on it. It has a few minor dings up towards the nose (its still dirty from hanging in a dusty garage for 30 years). It was bought 2nd hand in the early 80s & never used since then. He wants $300 for it. Can anyone tell me if its worth that ?

Looks to be made in about the late 80's maybe, about 7 foot, really nice strong thick stringer & in pretty good condition. Clean it up & ride it, looks really fun for the small or fat days

Offer him 250 with the fridge and art thrown in. That board is probably best used as art imho for 350 you can buy a better board from a pop shop, the board looks homemade not bagging it just my pee head opinion

Macs right though,it only appears to be a backyard job with no significant shapers name or logo on it, sorry but at 300 bucks I'd say he'll be owning it for a while.Ive got a few boards similar as yard art that cost me nothing or 50 bucks at best

yes - back-yarder I'd say from both the shape and the artwork. Worth a couple of cartons as a wall hanger IMHO...

An unusual one..is the bottom rolled/Hull ?
Overall it says late 60's..design/no plug/fin/graphics/thick stringer....backyarder for sure, but pretty well done.
Worth about $150-200 if you want it.

An American Jacobs "potato Chip" from the late 60's
