Looking for some history on this board. Just picked it up off of craigslist. The story goes it was surfed in the 60s until the owner moved out of state and left it in his parents garage rafters. Grandson found it and sold it to me. There are no dims at all anywhere visible on the board and no signatures which i found to be pretty odd. Its a 10ft and weighs what feels like 40lbs. I plan on surfing it. Just looking for some info.
Nobody signed Boards back then. Ghost shapers were just that Ghost. The Proformer was perhaps the Best selling board of the time. I’m sure it was on the East Coast. Weber team were up and down the coast Promoting Webers. That Board looks great you have a nice peice of surf history there.
You have the original “Hatchet” fin with a wonder bolt box, one of the early removable box systems. The Performer was a pretty good board for its time. I’ll take a guess and say it was built around 1966-1967. Goggle Dewey Weber for more information.
Those were real good boards at the time. Where in New Jersey did you find it? One of the larger Weber dealers was a the old USO beach at the Long Branch/Monmouth Beach line. Weight is probably closer to 28lbs.
