So....I was helping my brother build a new shed this weekend and discovered this retro board at his house. It is pretty beat up but figured I could practice my ding repair skills and try to make it water tight and surf it every once in a while. It is a 6'10" Sunset shaped by Bill Shrosbree. It is a single fin sting (stinger) design with a rounded tail. So far I took all the wax off and cut out the loose fiberglass around the half dozen or so dings. I also need to find out what kind of fin to buy for it. I have been doing a little research and haven't been able to find much. (I'll prob post on swaylocks later today). I am 6'3" 210 -215lbs and will prob just bring it on chest to head high days. Any suggestions on what kind of fin to buy?
I Have the same style board but mines a pin tail and I have a 7 inch bonzer fin by true ames in it. Also a 7 or 7.5 Joel Tudor fin would work as well this is what u want http://www.trueames.com/surf_select...egories_id=&surf_subcategories_id=9&Greenough 4A
No I don't think so. My brother may have put it up for sale a while ago but he didn't say anything when i took it.
it must be! how many shrosbee stingers can possibly be in existence in NJ? is it blue and yellow/ed? is this it?
That's pretty funny! No that is not it. This has an orangish deck. I am at work so I can't take a picture now. When I was researching the board I read that even though they were shaped out in Encinitas they were pretty big on the east coast back in the day. Under what part of craigslist was this on? I checked under "Jersey Shore" and didn't see it. Not that I need two of them. I think Grogg's used to sell them.
i think its on the south jersey part. i have been trying to contact the owner but he hasn't replied. when i saw your post i was like dammit!!! lol..not sure if its still for sale or not. its a sweet looking board for sure, would love to ride it on a big barreling day.
