Craigslist Boards

Seems like a lot of $$$ but looks like it's in really nice condition and restored so maybe worth it, would be a nice wall hanger.

Probably rides pretty good but wouldn't expect it to ride like a modern board- it's a totally different style of surfing/ wave riding. I bet it's fast tho

 

It probably rides great and has its own character. From my experience restored old boards can sometimes weigh a ton but I guess that depends on if it was re-gel coated/glossed after the skin was repaired. A Rick I think was a very high quality SoCal stick if I'm not mistaken. That thing would be extremely fun and a small piece of surf history- and a good size too. Go there w/ 4 bens and 2 Grants and work a deal w/ the owner, couple of Jacksons and a Ham if you really wanna try to bust balls. CL shopping is so fun and sometimes comes w/ great stories to tell. BTW, no such thing as a slow surfboard only slow surfers. This one would go fast with merely the correct positioning and not require a lot of spastic pumping to do it.

 

There's no such thing as a closeout....

KOOKamungya's link above shows that same fish design, and mentions the fin placement, referring to it as "questionable." So... good eye, PA_KOOK. The simple fact that it's been tried, but not done like that anymore, points to less than optimal performance. Not sure if I'd buy it, but I'd ride it fer sher!

 

wouldn't tying a leach to the fin be very dangerous! I realize that's old school but it would flip the board around fin up every time! kra kra!

 

The one pic with some cloth kinda sticking up is a little concerning, but it looks awesome, and the link that kookamunga posted makes it even cooler.

If you buy it, and plan on riding it, pleaseee put it in a board bag.
