The above is a link to some photos of a Skip Frye egg that I’ve had a long time. I lucked into it as my first board more than 25 years ago, plucked off the used rack at InFlight in Seal Beach, and it’s been so great I have never needed another board. It’s magical. What do the numbers in pencil mean - ’ P. BE. 320" Any insight from when and where this board might have been made would be wonderful. Thanks.
No clue.
I don’t know, but I would guess that it is from the late 80s to early 90s
Cool board though
From my quick search
Pacific beach : Bird and Ernie for the BE.see post # 17 on link!

#320 from 1991 per stoked and board with 9 / 10 reliability

I now realize that “bird” who responded on that old thread is Huffman. Given the number of boards he’s collected, and his locale, he might be the most knowledgable person around when it comes to boards from the SD area.
Thank you tenderloin tom !! great sleuthing. I really appreciate it. And thanks SammyA. I’m going to get in touch with Bird.
The P.BE signifies some time between 1988 and 1990. That is also an original PSG glassing logo from the first few years so this correlates to the same time frame. If it had the SD #320 then it would be more likely 1991. Since it has P.BE it is earlier. Bird may chime in to confirm this.
Funny, the magical board is now on Craigslist San Diego. Lol
And amazing it’s been his daily driver for 25 years and still in great shape!
it hasn’t gotten use in 20 years. It was a socal board that did not get use once I moved north. I have no idea what it’s worth, but I’m in the middle of financial hard times right now and this is the only thing of value I have to sell. But if mocking what you don’t understand makes you feel better, you must be having a great day.
also, “he” is a white haired grandmother of 56.
It’s not funny to me, but glad you are getting a laugh out of it.
lol lol what’s so funny. yes. it’s on craigslist SD. I’m sick and I’m hosed financially and have to sell this. hilarious.
I’m a white haired old phart and health & money problems are no joke! Hope the sale helps. The board looks like it’s in great shape!
