Any ideas on the build date of this 9’7 Wardy I picked up last year? Serial #4615.
My 64’ custom Wardy had a first generation speed skeg, this fin/outline more piggy than mine.
Fin had been flattened from dragging (12 year east coast kid drug it to the beach and back), which I’ve repaired.
That board really has a 1964 to 1965 look about it. Glass tailblock, out of scrap fin stock, makes me lean toward 1965. About as clean a board, from that era, that I’ve seen.
thanks, Bill, very helpful.
Was a Craigslist find, sitting in a barn in the NE, picked up for way reasonable from the owner, a former Ron Jon surf shop manager back in the day who was clearing out his stash of old logs…packed and shipped via Amtrak by a volunteer east coast surfer I’ve never met…the tribe is strong
