hot shit !! I'm gonna buy them both and have a matching set !!! Will call them my east meets west surfboards !!!!
This board is real, made by me in about 1988 or 1989 I think. The board might have some significant value. Too bad there is no photo of the signature. As it should have the name of the Team Rider it was made for written into the foam just in front of the logo by the fins. Likely someone of consequence. The board strikes a familiar note… but I can’t remember who’s it was at the moment.
Here is a photo of a similar board from July, 1987.

Classic 3 Skagg Surfboard - New! Check it out!
You are looking at a super cool classic surfboard that is new! Words cannot describe just how
awesome this board is. Everywhere I go, people make comments about how awesome it looks, just
carrying from the parking lot to the sand! However, due to economic times and some bills I need
to pay, I am going to let my most prized possesion go. The board is in almost perfect condition,
with maybe a few nicks and bruises here and there but otherwise almost perfect. I am not sure if the
darker brown spots are something that was wrong with it during the manufacturing process, but
it looks bright and white - almost like the new ones I see at the surfboard stores! I took it to the best
surfboard repair specialist in San Diego (Joe Loper) and he said he could patch it up for about $50 bucks -
and for $200, he would make it totally perfect - it would be well worth it to keep this thing going!
Here’s the specifications:
Length (top to bottom):
Approximately 78 inches from the tip to the tail
Width:
it varies but it seems to be at least 16.35 inches across at the thicker/wider parts
Thickness:
I took out my grandfather’s calipers and it appears to be anywhere from 1 inch to 3 inches
Skaggs:
3 solid skaggs - not too sharp!
It also has many different stickers on it but they do not come off - looks like they intentionally
put them underneath the liquid resin during the manufacturing process.
*one of them says “astrodeck” - I wonder of the orginal person for whom this board
was shaped for was using the board as a lubricant (get it, “astro[glide]deck”!) heh - heh…
I tried to look it up online, and even took it to one of the local surfboard manufacturers here in
San Diego (Rusty Priezender) but he told his secretary he didn’t have time to come out to the front and look at it (whatever!)
I cannot seem to find the exact manufacturer date of this board, but, based on my knowledge and experience,
I would assume it was manufactured sometime in 1976-1977.
Again, I am hesitant to let this go, but I really do need the money for bills and therefore I really
am also firm on the price.
I WAS ASKING $650.00 FIRM , but I AM REDUCING IT ANOTHER 25 BUCKS for a FAST SALE!!!
$625 ONLY!!!
Cash Only *No scammers!
Please feel free to email with any questions you may have - I will do my best to answer them quickly!
Keep surfing!!! Mahalow!
This is a cool modern looking big wave hunter template Bill.
I might be needing this design for my first trip to Hawaii this Winter. Can you build one for me today?
I still got it…any takers?
Can’t believe no ones bought your 3 skagged surfboard yet.
If you were in Australia, I’d snap it up in a second.
