Aloha brothers,
I got this friend who's a lifeguard. a few days ago he saw a guy walking down the beach holding an old board in his hand.
He practiclay jumped on him , grabed the board and forces him to sell it.
here are some pics of the board , It needs a good restoration.
when he brought the board to my shop I took my 70's lopez template and put it on the board, I was amazed how similar the boards are.
they match in about 99%!!
do any of you know anything about this board? no sinature or nothing! just a logo...

It has a plastic , very thick fin , two screws holding it down to the box!!
today I cleaned the board and pulled off the ugly retrofited leash loop .
it seems like the board didn't have any leash install at all.
the weird fin box makes me think it's a really old board.
Ideas? anyone?
Thanks

Lack of a leash plug dates at early 70s, most likely.
A picture of the fin box in which we can actually see what it looks like would be a good idea.
Or, take the fin out and post a decipherable photo of it.
