The Colorful 80's

Most of the surfboards that I buy are in need of at least some repair. Shoot, that's partly why I buy them. These two colorful boards were no exception. There are some minor dings here and there, but nothing that would designate these as "wall hangers" only. These boards were easy on the eyes, easy on the wallet, and easy to carry off and load into my truck. I'm lovin' these 80's boards right now and hope to patch them up for the water soon.





The truth is I will probably never have a chance to personally ride the 5'3 CANYON, simply based on the fact that I'm 6'4 and I'm not too sure if it'd float me or not. I am however a uncle of two young boy's, and an expecting father to be, so there's bound to be some little grom in the family who will get to paddle out that colorful little board. The R.L. - LIEGGI surfboard however is right up my alley. It's 5'9 with the thickest 3.5" hamburger rails I've ever seen. The board has so much foam, it's almost difficult to grip the beefy rails. It's going to be an interesting ride for sure!
