--Craigslist Alert Thread--

I plan on heading down there to see his stash sometime soon...hopefully I can get a good deal on something. I really want a good nose rider for the summer time.

 

Yeah its a pop out but on a diffent levle. They pump foam into a blow molded case after it hardens they split the mold smooth the edged and glass it. They were sold in stores like Sear for less them a 100 dollars.

They are the OG in Pop Outs

 

Yup pretty much they were molded from a master board the shaper made, then the just blew the foam in the mold, routed in a stringer, and had them glassed. They were sold everywhere, department stores, hardware store, beach shacks etc. Dextra was the largest company for this and went until the 70's. The equivalent today would be Surftech, their boards are molded, with no shaping necessary. So these boards aren't very much collectible, because they never were really shaped by anyone. Its like buying a painting from Walmart, never will have any real value, but a cheap decoration.

pair of cheap Fun boards, the yellow board could be an old G & S by the logo

nice. are G&S's any good or valuable or just old poop

 

The G&S looks like a older one but the challanger is a Kona Sports Special

 

The logo appears to be a G & S and if so does appear too to be older model. If so, older G & S's are becoming collectable too just like the Lighting Bolt posted a few pages back by Mitchell. G & S back in their hay day had many now famous shapers working for them plus many years of tremendous reputation too. Just check for any name underneath by the dimensions and if its a "Frye" buy it . FYI, Skip Frye was one of their G & S shapers early 70's thru early 80's he did sign the blank but didn't always use his famous "Frye Wings".

 

Goofy Footer's correct....Old G&S boards are absolutely very good boards, and many were shaped by shapers who are now famous in their own right. ESPECIALLY if shaped by Skip Frye....it could be worth a lot of money. (Looking at it a bit closer, I doubt it's a Frye.) But a G&S can't be beat as a fun beater board, very few are dogs.

 

does anyone happen to know when my board is from? its on the 2nd page. i picked it up reaaal cheap so i figuerd id snatch it up ..

 

Late 80- early 90's I would say by just a look threw the screen

 

dam id buy that again off you if youd be interested in reselling, but i doubt it cause thats so sick

 

Lightening Bolt, mid-to-late 80's, probably not that valuable....yet. Still, that's a heck of a board for a steal of a price. I'd be interested in knowing who the shaper is.

The Bolt's from the 70's are very collectable now.
