looking for info on this Skip Frye "Fryed Egg" Shape

 

One photo with no detail isn’t going to aid in evaluating an old board. Plus, the inclusion of the image of a dead drug addict (on the left) really distracts from the over-all esthetics of the photo.

SammyA, you might be the man to ask. What's the chance of getting hold of a template of something like that 6'6''?? Would be great to have a sweet egg template, 6'6'' - 7'6''.

 

Sorry to hijack.

 

Girl not included? D'oh!

If you make a template I will buy one. Does it have down rails?

 

I have a 6’4 egg in my possession. 1978 vintage. Shaped by Tony Staples and no doubt heavily influenced by Skip. I suppose I could take a tracing off it. Memory says it is 15 nose, 20-1/2 wp, 13 tail.

Hello I read your posting about the skip frye board 6’6 if you are interested in it you can email me @ seancuda81@gmail.com

Thx,~ Sean

I also seeking the knowledge of the group head here for info on this board, it’s got Skip’s wings penciled on the bottom,  on the stringer “P. BE 320” is penciled.   It’s a 7" egg, 22" at the widest, rounded at both ends, tri-fin.  I’ve had it for 20 years and I bought it used at a surf shop in Seal Beach.  I’m ready to sell it.  It’s water intact, has had a couple of ding repairs, hasn’t been ridden at all in the last 10 years.

Thanks for any info you might have -  

You’ll want to hear from Bill T on this one. It’s definitely one of Harry’s shapes. How much are you hoping to get for it?

Thanks for the response Sammy.   I’m not sure what to ask for it since I don’t know what it’s worth, I’m not a collector, this is the only board I’ve owned, I’ve enjoyed it and taken really good care of it, I knew when I saw it that I got really lucky.
