I can barely read this name. I can’t find this name anywhere associated with Ben Aipa. I think it reads Mikiala but I am not sure…so I ask the powers at large (Hawaii)…
I have had this board for about 24 years. It looked like it had hit a pier when I got it. Made the mistake of loaning it out 10 years ago and the nose got broken. So it has sat around for a long time and I was thinking of stripping it and working with what I had left. If the lam comes off OK ish then maybe trying to keep what’s left of the shape…It is sick fast. An old early 80’s quad fin gun from what I can tell…how it got to the way wrong coast I am not sure. Didn’t measure but we are in the 7+ foot range. V from mid section, to a sweet deep double concave tail, quad fin with lots of angle and spread way out…fins rather small. The back two almost come out from behind the tail. Same rail profile along most of the board. Gotta be 3+ inches thick…but strangely not really too heavy…1/4" stringer. OK let the guessing begin…or maybe you recognize the board!
