Price wise, I kinda think at least $1250, and perhaps up to $2250. I'm not real sure on the current value of that type of board though.

You best chance of Top Dollar, is probably an offer through here... Even eBay, under "make an offer". Buy it now of say $3,000...
Or give the guys at Keyo International a ring, for their thoughts...

I wouldn't pay that money though. I would put that sort of money into a custom board... Also, keep in mind that there a raft of shapers out there who can do exception "classic" boards, for about $1200-$2200, brand new... Depending on who is shaping, and what you ask for in terms of stringers and tints... That's the price range for a new one...

I would think that Johnny Gill at Keyo could rip you up a great replica, like the one in photos, for about $1500, roughly... But email him for a quote!

Omfg simon do u have half a bee's dick to what ur talking about? That sorta money is for pristine recon old mals or for 100% original old mals.

Firstly it has a broken fin, any old mal collector would rarely touch a old mal with a non original fin in it. Not to mention the repairs needed to fix it and make it water tight, also keeping true to style, sand back the gel coat, new gloss coat,re-apply a new blue gel coat.

Iv got a shipment coming of oldmals from the states the are fully restored old ,greg nolls, bings, dewy webers, hobies. I would be lucky to get $2500 for them

The truth is about this board is u would spend more in repairing the board then what u buy it for now. Unless u can find a 60's fin to put back in it, otherwise u wud put a good modern fin in it to make it a good rider for pleasure, or old mal events.

The only way this board as it stands would fetch around 1k would be if it was the first board bob mctavish ever shaped for keyo, or he did it naked, and u could get him to verify that.... Along with a foto.

It could also be a dog of a board with a twist or 5 inch fat rails.

Simondo go here www.soulsurf.com.au/vintage-secondhand-surfboards/old-mals-vintage

Educate urself a little and see what 2k can get u

Calm the f$%k down Big Spazz! I was wrong! I said I wasn't sure of the value.
Thanks for your link, and yes it confirms that people are more willing to plough their money into a new log...
Revaluation - $750-$1250...!!

Sorry Ted the Kiwi, I am keen to sell the board hence my initial post aimed at working out the best process. Despite some informative and humorous posts, I still am not sure what it is worth so I think I will put it up for sale on Seabreeze for two weeks with best offer. I can easily post more photos if that helps.

Mate seriously consider getting it restored yourself as another option ..... even as a bit of a tribute for your Dad , bit of living history there

The board actually belonged to a mate's Dad. He was chucking it out with hard rubbish about 25 years ago and I told him someone would buy it. He wasn't interested and said " you have it". I taught a couple of people to surf on it along time ago and for the last 20 years it has been sitting in my Dad's shed so does not have the sentimental value, otherwise definitely restore and have sitting in the house.

Maybe McHenry can advise... He lives in Sth Oz and I get the impression he may have bought boards from other states. I could be wrong of course, but since when has that stopped anyone on this forum?

Spaz as wavelength said pm McHenry he has had boards freighted before.

Fast ways may be an option, not sure think they may have a length limit but they are cheap. Just make sure it is packed well, really welll.
