This should be interesting to the surfing nostalgists and graphic designers out there.
Lots of inspiration and more than a few memories located here:

You have dyslexia. I said thirty ;D
Look what I found! 
1971 …was that around the year you were born , dougy ?
Yeah. He stole it the year I was born. Thirty years before I was going to use it.
Him and his damned time machine… Also stole my cutback and tube-riding skills.
That’s a nice website. Some inspiring logos in there.
Oh another fav! 
I always figured you were goofy .
You and your evil spies!

I don’t think it’s an exhaustive listing, because I only saw one logo of a board that I’ve previously had (Hot Stuff). Maybe he’d accept submissions of those more obscure logos.
I wish I’d photographed all the boards I’ve had in the past.
Those are a few we snapped at the fry. If I had been thinking we would have cataloged the every logo at the event.
I had an idea years ago to do a coffee table book of logos. Then SJ(?) had an issue that essentially did what I thought. What would be cool is a little info on how each logo came about, who drew it (and did they go on to graphic design fame and fortune - some did), what they were on at the time, as well as variations over time. A for-instance is…Adrian Olson (George Olson’s son) told me the outline for their (Jim Phillips designed?) decal came from the portion of a Kleenex box that the consumer would pop out and throw away.
