You must have a big shed to store all these boards in. Good collection . So how many do you have ?

Sadly most have come and gone (surfbroker is a mercenary) but about 10 now..wish, like all of us, I'd kept 'em all..but hey I wear the pants in this family..and wash and iron em to
Been interesting to ride all those boards, and then some, but there's no comparing the old designs to the new in any way..they are what they are and you adjust yourself..then have your preferences.

Nice lot there....I think it's the thrill of the chase that makes finding a gem that much better...

I remember finding the G&S noserider, it was covered in house paint..but when I stripped the deck and saw Floyd Smiths name in pencil on the stringer... yeehaaaa.

Well done Dino - you and yr old fella have done some magical work there.

I just picked up this today from one of the blokes at the beach who is doing a clean out of his garage. Stoked !!! The deck is almost mint whilst the bottom has been sun damaged but I think it will clean up nicely once I take some 60 grit and a sander to it Should make a nice wall hanging but I think I will ride it a few times first. It has not been in the water for over 10 yrs so is completely dry but over due a surf. Its a 1972 era.
