Paging Cheyne, Carl O, Solosurfer...

Gentlemen, we’ve got ourselves a project. :slight_smile:

This thing is, as Steiny correctly observed, pretty beat. Its got very McCoy-esque thickness & hard down rails. The rails, along that edge, have more inches around the board that are split than ones that are intact. And a couple puncture-type dings in random places, along with stains & browning, that indicate it sat in some bushes for a while. And the usual shattered nose & tail corners. The deck seems never to have been hotcoated, as the weave texture is original, as is the tape line from hotcoating the bottom. Team rider’s board? Bob’s personal experiment? Who knows. Sorry, Carl, no serial #.

Everyone interested in a piece of the action, please PayPal $25 to Mike at Swaylocks. Don’t worry about sending me anything, this is just too fun.

The starfin has a couple little nicks that will sand right out, but its fine.

Anyone have time for some ding repair?

:slight_smile:

Wow, cool board.

I haven’t even had time to read Sways and look what I missed.

Forget retro chic, go OG state of the art cool.

We should have a retro 80’s boards beach day.

I’ll bring my double foiled fin-box-double stinger O’neill.

Now I need to find my red day-glow wetsuit.



Hey Benny,

sounds cool man. Now what should we do with it? Totally restore it to original specs or pimp it out with some fancy shmancy carbon fiber/kevlar/bamboo veneer vacuum job (with a tv monitor on the deck?) Also, poly or epoxy? I’d go for a full resto job but my poly skills are crap. I also have a ton of 2.3 oz if that helps. But let us know what you have in mind. Oh yeah, PICS!!!

Cheers,

Rio

Gents- I spoke with Ward Coffey today and he seems to remember that board from when it was new. He thinks the board belonged to Scott Crump who now makes Sol Life Surfboards. It could belonged to a fellow named Neil but most likely Scott.

There you go. Thanks Ward!

=) thanks Benny!

we need to hook up sometime so that we

can all check it out.

hey Mike. how can i Paypal you?

what’s the email address?
