Help Identify A Vintage Celestial Board

Postby Lil Tex Waves » Fri Apr 19, 2013 3:28 am

Sup!
I am new to forum, and I am desperately trying to find any and all information on a vintage surfboard I purchased here in Houston Texas. The board has Celestial Boards on it and is made of fiberglass I believe. I am having problems posting pictures, so please reply with your email address and I will send you pictures. If I figure out how to post pictures to forum, I will. The board is about 6' 6" long. The pictures will help a lot! Please help guys!
Thanks!

Newbie,
Lil Tex

Lil Tex, it's a blind buck, without pictures ( No eye deer). How much did you pay for it :?:
It's not advisable to post home email addresses as you can get buried in spam.
So look when you post.
There is an upload attachment tag just below where you post, have your picture at about 800x 800 pixels on your desk top the next thing that opens asks you to browse and you select your picture from the desktop, if the picture is accepted it will appear in blue below the box put your cursor on the text of your reply click and then select place in line.
You can check in Preview and then if you are happy hit submit.

Sorry! I should have scrolled down further. Pictures should be added now! Take a look and tell me what you think. Thanks!

Sorry! That first picture should not be included. That shows a little worn area. I was meaning to add the picture of the Celestial Text up close. I am adding that now!

Not entirely familiar with US trends but it looks like something from the late 70s, unless it was a well known brand I wouldn't offer more than about $80 to $100 and only if I was feeling retro. :lol:
Others might offer more, IMO vintage means more than oldish on a board.
Hope that helps!

I appreciate all of your help! I will take your input, and see if I can add to what little I already know about this board. Are there no surfers from the other side of the pond on this forum? I truly appreciate all of your help. It will help me further my research. Thanks Dude!
