Picked it up from a local Police station this morning (strangely, not the some station I dropped it off at).
9'1" x 22 1/2" x 2 5/8"; Nose 17 3/4"; Tail 13 1/2".
Hand Shaped by Ed Hooper. Logo has a copyright of 2003, so built sometime after that.
Interesting shape - or at least bottom contours. Double nose concave, to a long single concave that ends a bit in front of the fins, before running out with a double concave.
I'm not entirely sure what to do with it.
There's some older damage, plus damage from hitting the road. Probably a few hundred to fix. Although that skanky old repair might be expensive to fix on its own.
At 9'1", it's a bit small for me, given my skill, fitness and weight.... although with the fun bottom contours I'm keen to give it a spin.
I'm leaning towards making it water tight(ish) with Puka Patches/rail tape, giving it a spin, then having it as a wall hanger by the pool.
Or simply having it repaired and holding on to it for any mate that's too small for one of my 10+ footers.
FYI - I kinda dig the 'art work'.... and the pic seemingly exaggerates the depressions on the deck.
I also feel like whoever lost this board has the fins a bit too clustered.

It's a great looking board, well done for handing it in when you found it as plenty don't. I guess the owner never went to check with authorities so finders keepers.
You may be right on the centre fin placement being a bit far forward but give it a go and see how it runs.
