Looking for opinions on a longboard

Potential vintage value aside, I would pass. I'm sure it's still ridable, but it's more suited to be a wall hanger.

*By the way, how much is this board listed for? Really high for "vintage" appeal or really low for the "I can't believe I'm selling this board so cheap, considering how much it's really worth because it's vintage" appeal? Either way, I'm sure you can find a better option.

 

Keep looking, not something i'd pick up, but that's me.

 

That board looks like it weighs about 50lbs. In my opinion; definitely better off waiting to find something that will need a little less maintenance and have a potentially longer life ahead of it. Great looking board though

 

There were a lot of popouts produced back in the 60s, and that looks like one of them. They were always too thick, and too narrow, with those funky pinched rails that don't work well. That'd be my guess, but I'm no expert. If you go to check it out, be sure to look for any twisting... a lot of those boards didn't have stringers, and twisted like crazy.

 

I totally agree with the last two posts- its old and its a really heavy board - specially for a beginner... plus there is probably no place for a leash - and if theres a hole in the fin for a leashthe board is so heavy that youll hate it... plus- no leash and if your a beginner you will be swimming alot and putting others at risk when that 50lbs board comes flying at them...

I would keep looking for something newer- if your serious about surfing look to spend around 300... find a longboard in the 9ft range

 

my opinion on a longboard: don't buy one. It's like pushing mongo on a skateboard. My opinion will change with age, but as long as my nutz are above my knees I think longboards are for puss!es

 

trevolution... hahaha! welcome back, brother!

 

Says a wimp who probably doesn't have the strength to turn a LB.

to each his own bud! u just asked for an pinion on a longboard: so i gave me own

 

Well... you know what they say about opinions...

For example, Joel Tudor could kick all of our butts... on the beach, or on his longboard... or fish, or shortboard, or single fin, or...

If you think "longboards are for pu$$ies" I'd say you're a little out of touch.

Either way... these threads crack me up!

 

i just surf cause its the less painful version of skateboarding. i don't like bombing hills on a longboard, so why would i surf one? its a different touch , i may be out of yours but your out of mine as well.

 

You got that right, brother!

Anyways... I just try to appreciate everything for what it's worth... try to find the beauty even in the ugly. Makes me a richer person just for trying.

 

That is a good way to live.
