I just scored this new project on craigslist today. Any info is appreciated. Its only 8’6" so Im wondering if its a kids board. Does the fin look correct? Thanks in advance.

My first board was a 8’9" Con. I bought it used in 67. I was 13 and I thought it was a big board at the time and I was already pushin 6’ in height. Tall skinny kid. Your fin is original although it has been cut down. Common thing to do in the very late 60s and early 70s especially if you could not afford a newer style board.
Most likely a late 1960 surfboard. The sticker dates it.
So the fin was a D fin but was notched out? Makes sense looking at it now.
It’ll be fun fixing it up and taking it out for a surf.

If the fin was in original condition the back edge would not be so thick. Had to be cut.
