Looking for any info on a Hansen Master 6’3" 21 wide at the front foot bolt on fin, has Master logo at the back foot but no shaper name or id #. For the life of me I cant get a pic uploaded to this site but would be happy to email one.
Can you upload photos anywhere else? Try that, and post links here. The description you give means little without pictures.

Also wondering what the original fin might have been made of. This one seems to be a flexible mounded plastic but is the correct single bolt type.
The fins were made of polypropelene. Looks like yours is original. The leash plug sure isn’t. That board was most likely built in late 1970 or early '71, given the length. Shaper’s did not sign boards back then, and serial numbers didn’t mean much, if the board even had one, at all.
Your board does not look original in my opinion. Even the lam/logo doesn’t look right. Even if everything were original; it just isn’t that collectible and therefore not worth big $$$ if that’s what you are thinking. There are so many Hansens out there in the marketplace. Hansen is probably the most often seen when it comes to Vintage boards.
Thanks only got set back 15 bucks so no biggie 
Cool! That’s a good deal. I’m not saying it isn’t a real Hansen; Just saying that some things look altered. Hopefully Bill T. will jump in here and give you some first hand info as he shaped for Don Hansen and knows more than most. The Hansen shop is still in Cardif, Ca.(as far as I know) and you might give them a call and email them a pic. I have seen lam/logos go cloudy like that around the edge of the rice paper, but I am suprised there are no other Hansen logos or other identifying marks. Oh and even with the alterations it’s worth more than $15. At first glance I was thinking it was a “cut-down”.
If it was cut down then there would be wider laps, and glassing marks, geberal f-up stuff. So, if some one cut it down and reshaped it, then they knew what they were doing....If some one who knew what they were doing was to do that.. then they know to never cut down a surfboard..only hacks and newbies cut down surfboards.
If it was cut down then they would have had to strip off all the glass...reshape it. I say that because the rails look proper and foiled. Must cut down are chunky and unfoiled.
I have that same shape of a Hansen Master in a 8'2". Biggest POS surfboard ever.
If anything I'm guessing the fin has been reshaped a bit?
I see the other lam/logo now. As mentioned previously' early 70's. Not a cut down.
