hey yall,

after reading all yalls post for the past two mothns i figured you guys would be the best to ask about one of my boards that i inherited. its an old, beat up mini-mal, about 8’6" x 23 made by Oceanside and i believe the model name is Javelyn. shaped by Rice, board number 3626. i was wondering if yall knew anything about the make, approximate date of shaping, and any thing else yall might know about it there a bunch of previous repairs that were done with vinylester resin, and some other big mistakes that i am planning on cutting out and redoing. any tips on that? couldnt get the pictures attached, but ive got them hosted here: http://www.geocities.com/tomcat360/mal.jpg

thanks in advance,

tommy

Yet another Cocoa Beach surfboard manufacturer. I believe they were around from the late 60’s to early seventies. Made high quality products and quite a few of those transition designs.Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I am pretty sure that is Johnny Rice is the shaper. Is that a waveset finger fin I see?

Yes, chipfish, we do say “y’all” down here. But it’s you Aussies that really talk funny, LOL!

I don’t know about the board itself, but my bet for the year would be 1969. (W.A.V.E. Set Fin, no stringer, still those knee-paddling deck patches, volan cloth…)
