About 10’0, triple stringer, fuller pintail.
I know Haut shaped a bit for the shop but
I haven’t been able to find any one else besides Edawards and Hansen.
No serial number I can find.
Model is Intruder 2.
Thanks ya’ll.
Probably shaped by Tom Hoye, he was at Oneill until the early shortboard era.
Tom Hoye or one of the Olsons. Possibly Johnny Rice. If Phil shaped it , He would have signed it. Not likly that Don Hansen shaped it.
If the Model is an Intruder 2, I would think that the board was made between 1966 and 1968.
I think that Joel Woods shaped many of the Intruder model's, so my guess would be that he may have shaped that particular board.
Sam Ryan’s collector’s guide says the Intruder 2 came out in '68. Choose the size of the grain of salt you prefer, as his book is full of errors.
Thanks every one, I picked the board up today from a guy in Portland. It’s in really good condition, going to take it to the LogJam and see if I can find a new owner
for it.
I will get some pictures up tomorrow.
Shouldn't have any problem turning it over in SC. There used to be an "Intruder" hanging in Oneill's. assume it's still there.

10’ high performance lightweight noserider

I was home on leave in the late 60s walked into the surf shop that i hung out in, there on the used rack was a lovely O’neill 7’6" speed-ish shape. took it out for a surf. went back the next day to buy it and it was gone! that was a really nice board, always wished i have grabbed it when i have the chance
Hey ya’ll, next question…
Any idea on the original fin shape? It doesn’t have the original, more of a reshaped Hynson looking glassing that is too thin and has almost no foil. I have other period boards and they all sport either DN type pivot fins or 10" raked fins.
Can’t find a picture of an original, sent out an email to Tom but no reply yet.
Any guesses would be welcome, I can make an original shape fin and glass it on.

A good close-up pic of the fin might help, ya know?
McDing is right about the board at O'Neill's shop. There is an Intruder II hanging from the ceiling with the deck down. It's hard to see the fin from below, but it looks sort of like a Greenough Stage III. Maybe you can sweet talk them into letting you trace the fin when you come down for the Log Jam.
Here is the fin. Its about 1/4 inch thick if that, looks like three panels, no foil whatsoever but lots of flex.
If I find an original template for the original fin, I will make one otherwise, she is headed to SC for sale as is.
That fin looks pretty typical for the early ‘speed’ fin outlines of the period. I seriously doubt it has been modified from the original template. Plus, fins of that style and year had no foil. Foiling came along soon after, mostly as a result of the molded/removable fins that Hobie, Hansen and others had adopted.
Old style “D” fins had no foil. The next stage in fin evolution was known as a “speed” fin. They were built using the same methods as D fins, with a narrower, sculpted outline.
I don’t know what makes you think that isn’t the original fin.
I just realized what your user name stands for. That brings me back to my time in SC. Knew some of that crew.
Yeah, I caught that too. He might know what he is talking about.
The fin is three colored panels and pretty much squared off edges. It’s super flexy, no only from some stress cracks that I see bit it’s plain old bendy.
I am not going to pull it off, just leave it as it does work.
I just got back from riding it at the local sandbar and it surfs pretty well, its an awesome noserider.
I will be down at the LogJam and maybe some old farts can ride it.
(kidding, I am 50)
Probably Joel Woods. I was there in the midsixties and George Olson, Mike Winterburn and Jim Foley were shaping. Joel followed them. I think Joel still lives in Santa Cruz.
I found a post at SCBG that said Joel shaped all of the Intruders for Oneill from 1963 to 1969.
“Here is an 2009 original Intruder model shaped by the original Intruder shaper Joel Woods. Joel shaped the Intruder exclusively for Oneills from 1963 to 1969. This one is a custom for a very lucky client.”
Thanks ya’ll…
so this guy says intruders from 63-69?
may I beg pardon
the intruder model was not made in 1963.
joel was shaping the performer ,the beachbreak
the classic models in 1963-like 65
the spoon stepdeck trend that begat the
late blooming intruder was later like 66…
check other sources.
either this guy is a victim of a typographical error
or his right hand is busy.
…ambrose…
just checked the yater history
and the spoon was 65 - 66 I think the intruder was like 67
the gloss was still on em
when we were stripping
and reshaping old boards
for mini guns and v-bottoms in the garage…
at stanley and livingston.
