I did a quik search and and dextra came up as a pop out and not a pop out.
Mine is fairly elaborate for a pop out 2’" mahogany stringer with 1/4" offsets nose and tail blocks resin panels(blue) top and bottom…BUT it lookes like a glassed blank far as shape goes flat rockers rails as thick as the board boxy , choped strand mat with volan over it typical pop out look but with all the bells and whistles…the logo is a sun and pitch fork…any one no if its a pop out? I just want the blank no twists pretty clean board severe sun burn few dings
very much a pop-out, i had one back in '64-ish , was about all you could get on the east coast then—called a Hard shell blank—foam blown in a mold that was lined with chopped glass and resin and then glassed and finished—sold for about $100 …pretty kool wood fins with a wide bead of glass aroung them. fond menories, but still just a “Pop out”
If you are for some reason thinking of stripping it down to the bare blank, I would recommend NOT. I tried that once with a pop out and it was way, way too much work to be worth it.

Yeah, Dextras and (even more so in OC) Keokis were the stock-in-trade of rental boards around here until the later 60’s. Heavy as hell, and just about zero rocker. If I recall correctly, though, both brands had pleasing stringer and fin construction.
I could be mistaken but I could have sworn I saw a Dextra that appeared to be custom made…meaning it was hand shaped and glassed, with a yellow tint. It had the familiar sun/trident logo like the others I saw at the discount dept. stores that sold them. I read somewhere that a few were made like the one I saw. Ironically, one of the better longboards I rode as a grom in the 60s was some pop out that I could’nt even make the label out due wear and tear. It was beat up, ugly, but it kinda light and turned really easy.
