I am so thankful to live and work in Southern California, where we are blessed with warm weather, consistently fun surf, and a mega load of old discarded vintage surfboards. Deciding if surfing on a Saturday morning is more important than "hunting" for an old board can be a very stressful process. If the swell is up and the tides are right, well it's off to the beach we go. But that doesn't mean that I can't let a few Garage Sale sign's send us on a little detour while in route to the surf and sand. The waves are still gonna be there.
I was so extremely STOKED to pull up on this board this weekend. Of course I had the beach and the waves on my mind, but the exhilaration of buying this board truly warmed my heart and spirit. The dude I bought it from said it had been hanging in the rafters for more that 25 years and it definitely had the dust to confirm his story. It's homemade for sure, 7'6" with these crazy knife sharp rails, a wave-set fin, and it's YELLOW! I can't wait to fill in a couple of the dings and paddle it straight out into some fun little Southern California surf!
