I found a Rick Bullock Seeker in someones garbage (can you believe someone would throw something like this away?)It has his initials on the deck and his signature on the bototom. Under his initials there is a #68-213. It currently measures 6’6.75" but there is a very small piece of the nose missing.It leaves a flat spot about 1.5" wide at the tip.Also the tail is cracked a little bit and a couple of small dings in the bottom.Otherwise it is in great shape.I cleaned it up a little with some light sandpaper to start the repairs when i realized that the board was so nice that I better get some info about how to do it right. Through your website I found a link to Fiber glass supply and ordered Glassing 101,Ding scriptures,Essential surfer.This is my first time repairing a board but I eventually want to build my own board.Well enough about me.I want to say I love this site you have been soo helpful!!!Could anyone tell me anything about this particular board ie;When it was made,what it is worth,What it’s charicteristics are,or anything else I might want or need to know?Keep up the great work.Your new life long patron Ronstafarian
Rick Bullock is a shaper out of Pensacola FL. I had him shape a couple of boards for me about 15 or so years ago when I lived there. Can’t tell you much else about him now since I’ve moved away from the area.
Rick still lives in Pensacola. The Seeker is a Yancey Spencer model board. Probably shaped sometime in the early nineties or late eighties.
I meet a women in Rhode Island yesterday who only surfs a few warm days a year with a Campbell Brothers thruster she found in a garbage can in Barbados. She was happy to learn she didn’t pick up crap.
