Apart from the historical significance , the board would be worth a good quid for the performance alone…more so in such fine condition…'66 was the peak year in 9ft performance , and few shapers at that time would have come close to Kevin Platt , as far as I know…
Everything’s good, here Ben. Thanks for responding. That’ s a lot of money for a board. I like that the guy didn’t sell it, tho. Does he surf it?
I think the wax job would indicate a “yes” on that one.
