Yes. The concept of “models” wasn’t popular in 1963, and stepdecks unheard of then. While not always 100% accurate, Sam Ryan’s collectors guide says the Intruder debuted in '67.
What does SCBG stand for? Santa Cruz Bullshitters Guild?
Yeah, I haven’t heard of too many Models from that period either. Yater spoon was first right? My Harbour Cheater is a '67, I have a Model A that is for sure 1967 (was my Dads, bought new). While this Intruder has a step deck, it isn’t even close to how the Harbour is done nor the Takayama though the outlines are pretty close.
SCBG may have meant ‘shaping for O’neill’ during that time rather than Intruders.
One more thing, any one know what this board might be worth?
