I just picked up this old Hansen board and would like to see if anyone can give some thoughts on it. It’s in rough shape, hoping to clean it up a bit. It’s about 8’8” long, pretty heavy and not sure if this was done by someone later but has a squared nose. Fin isn’t original, looks like someone just haphazardly glassed one in. Managed to find some faded digits in the stringer but having a hard time making them out not sure if it starts with a 5 or S but then looks like a 981 afterwards.
Another Hansen. That’s the worst condition I have seen of many on this site. The #’s have some significance date wise. Typically there were initials, dots etc. that would signify the shaper. Without someone to date the#’s and no indication of who the shaper might be; you’ll most likely never know much about this board. Date wise my guess is previous to 1963. Probably 1962. Looking again at the pics, maybe 1961.
