Score....need advice

When it comes to old boards, unmodified is the key. Not saying this one doesnt have some history but the uneducated seller is becoming a thing of the past. My father in law just picked up an old hobie in good to fair condition for $300 so the sub $100 is probably right on. By my estimation, you're a collector of things so if it has value to you it's good enough. Try to get the back story of who owned it, where they surfed it, etc. might be cool just to get some old guy talking.

 

Bro back off, the guy on craigslist says its a classic.

 

Craigslist is the last bastion of unmitigated truths.

 

Bump for potential. Maybe this will turn into another Missed Connections.

Hey MichaelJR, what's your picture of there in your avatar? I just can't figure it out.

 

It's his dream party! A room full of homer's holding there hands up begging for ****!

 

Hahaha suite!

 

Huh, never woulda guessed.

 

it looks like the board used to be blue and then for some reason they covered it with something else good luck w ur board there

 

if you cant get any one to fix it, use your radial sander (not sure if thats what it is called i dont have one) to sand the top coat of resin down until you can just see the fibers of the cloth, then do whats called a "hot coat" over the old cloth (I think that a hot coat is thinned out resin, search swaylocks.com<--where i learned all of this- board repair forum), anyway hot coat as best as you can, that might be it, as long as the board and glass itself are in good condition it could be really easy and turn out nicely.

if anyone has done this before^^^i haven't really, only kind of researched for my own projects but never went through with for various reasons, pls critique/add information

 

I'd pay $5 if seller paid the freight.

 

Yeah I'd give ya five bux for you to get that thing off my lawn.

 

Might be better off with a radial arm saw as choice of power tool here. To it's their own.
