Recently acquired from yard sale, looks vintage, label n #, only found 2 similar online for sale. Anyone assis with someone I cud call. Ron surfboards closed in Belmore years ago. Emailed and called Ron Wade. Cheers

Made in Belmore Sydney 1962-65..Ron Hampton prop.
They were not considered a "cool" board like the Brookvale manufacturers such as Dillon..Bennett..Keyo etc
Notable surf figure Geoff McCoy worked there.

That board of yours looks like it will need a lot of love to bring it back from the dead..

Here's a bit of info

Search Surfresearch it's a site compiled by a guy called Geoff Cater who is an independent historian on Surfing Culture. He's based in the Shoalhaven Area and his site is worth a look . He's collection numbers 100's of boards plus memorabilia.

IMO Geoff Cater should be up for some sort of Surfing Australia Award for the effort and information he has put up on his surfresearch site..quality information that he's been doing for well over a decade now..

FB Vintage Surfboard Collectors will give just about as much information on surfing and boards as anyone could want, a great source of information. There are 2 sites by the same name so just make sure you go to the one that has the largest number of members.

Very nice SB. Maybe not as desirable e as the Brookvale 6 boards but still very collectable, especially in that condition.

Is that an original permit sticker?

Nup..repo..lol
