I found a board and was wondering if anyone had any info on the Island brand. I’m fixing it up at the moment because I thought it was pretty cool. I’m guessing it is from the late 70’s or early 80’s but not sure. Any info on this board would be appreciated. I live in RI. Not sure where the brand is from.
Puerto Rican label owned by Monty Smith. He did most of the shaping. Ronnie Mellott shaped a few and did most of the glassing and finish work. In business from roughly 1970 to 1979.
cool thanks. It is a 5’4 and I honestly didnt think I would be able to ride it. But it is fun to surf so I decided to fix it up. Flat rocker, flat deck (rail to rail), and down rails. double bump rounded-ish pin. I always wanted a real twin fin. I’m pretty stoked!
