Hey guys…I’m new to this forum and to surfing even though I live 5 minute walk from the water here in HB. I’m an old guy just starting off. I am hoping someone can identify the brand of my board and if it would be worth fixing up. Check out my pic and let me know.
Thanks!!

You need to display a picture of the bottom and fin area w/ closeups.
From the disco stripe on the top I’d say its an late 70’s, early 80’s model.
Don't know who? I would ride it, could be fun.
ED:
You don't say how old, I'm over 60. I shape lots of boards for older guys
who surf Bolsa/HB. If you are 5 min. from the water, you should have
enough coin to buy a decent new board on Main St. I would recommend
that you visit HSS (Hun. Surf & Sport) and check out their boards in the
9'6 - 10' range. Come on down to tower 21 in Bolsa and learn in an easy
environment. When you get better, surf GoldenWest/Cliffs, South Side with
the rest of us old geezers...........LOL Eventually, when you get good enough
to miss surfing on any day when there is waves, you should order up a custom!
Just my 2 cents, hope this helps!!
…wonder if it is an early day Bessell? The B looks kinda like his.
That’s a Becker…
Right on… thought I’d recognized that B somewhere.
So the earliest that board can be is 1980 (and is within a few years of that tops! I dont believe those ‘disco stripes’ were around for more than a year or two) when Becker/Hollander went into business for himself and opened his own shop in Hermosa.
I ordered a custom from Becker then, had an appointement and it went quicker than a 20 minute haircut.
