Fixing up an old Heritage single fin...

I like it.

 

That's an old Danny Heritage Sr. shape... Can you give us a rocker shot and a rail profile shot? Fin box and deck look OK. What kind of fin box is it? Hopefully you'll get a decent fin that fits right in.

If I was to resto that board, I'd get a fan deck of Ben Moore colors, and match that yellow. Sand off the gloss coat, fix all the dings, spray color over all the repairs (or the whole thing), touch up the pinline, and re-gloss. This will leave you with a water tight, as-close-to-original-as-you-can-get restoration.

 

My first board was a Heritage, bought it used from the shop in SIC. Posting here to see how this turns out.

 

That's a nice looking single! Very similar dims and shape to mine, except mines 6'3. Should be a really fun ride. For 50 bucks, you get to have some fun fixing it up, and even more fun one it's ready for water. I'm kinda jealous.

 

Are you kidding?? It's a piece of shiit......no offend intended.
If you fix it up, including a new nose job, then.....maybe.

 

Nice board! Tail lines look a little strait but with the right fin, you could get that on rail pretty easy. Looks like a racer.

 

I don't think it needs a new nose. Sure it might look prettier. But that's it. Hell they make boards these days that look like the top 1/4 had been chopped right off. The inch this board is missing won't be a factor. Just make it water tight and he's good.

 

Surprised by that balance point. Still, I like it.
Have funwidit!

mushrooms.....

 

what kind of wall outlet is that?

 

Probably the kind that has the holes plugged up so the kids won't stick forks into them.

 

Yea... classic S deck and "brewer" down rails... typical of the era. Can't you just grab that screw with a pair of needle nose pliers and pull it out the slot... replace with new?

I agree on fixing the nose. Match the foil and outline, and put a beak on it.

Oh... and if you're into it... a fiberglass leash loop on the deck!

 

looks like your typical 15-amp 125-volt duplex receptacle, equipped with outlet plugs for child proofing.

that plush carpet though. karastan?

 

domed deck no tail rocker. That thing would be a trip on a chest to head high glassy day.

 

Wow, seeing those brings back some memories. I had a 6'8" similar to your 6'5". It may still be in my old Auntie's garage in Sea Isle. Now, I'm going to spend half my weekend looking for it!
