C'mon chaps, with this panel of experts I expected some super accurate answer.

Selling the board and someone asked, thanks boys!

Bear Surfboards is a surfboards and clothing company based in Italy, the Bear brand was created in Malib? in 1978 by John Milius well its definitely made after 1978 how much are you selling it for Mchenry are you saving up for a gopro

Fluoro colours are a bit of a give away surely even though they are somewhat subdued, (at least the whole board is not sprayed fluoro....)??

80's I reckon....

Definitely getting a go pro, just to be different

Selling it for 300, I think it's a fair price.

Saving my duckets for a SDR, it'll take a while but I think it'll be worth it.

Late nineties to early 2000's. Not the nose rocker of an 80's mal. Show a pic of the fins and dimensions along stringer for more accurate estimation.

Board age - I would guess at least pre-2002. And not 80's.early to mid 90's, would be my best guess, based on discolouration and colour design.

Would have been my guess as well, early to mid 2000's. Nothing really unique about it, you can still get boards with the logo. The spray design was popular around that period.

$300 probably not a bad price.

Thanks for the heads up boys, see I knew the panel of experts would pull through in the end.

BTW, a few CONTOUR edits with Mr SDR himself will be happening in the next few weeks.

I suppose it will be listed as vintage?
There should be a sub section on Ebay in the surfboard sections called "Sunburnt & waterlogged dungers".
