Surfing Waves

Hello everyone,

New to this forum as you can see. My husband and I found this old (1960s ???) surfboard at a local estate sale here in New Jersey and was hoping you all can please help us identify the possible age and maker?

There appears to be partial remnants of a decal/logo on the fin. Colors of the decal/logo appear to be red, white & blue and there's the letter 'O'(?) remaining at center.

Is it possible for you to help ID the decal/logo from what remains and its shape?

The size of the board is roughly 9 feet and made from fiberglass.

We thank you all in advance for your time, thoughts and help.

Thank you!

My apologies....

The size of the board is approx: 9 feet.

Thanks again!

Does anyone have any thoughts and/or can please help with my inquiry?

Identifying the board is next to impossible unless one has actual seen one of the same brand.
Early 60s yes DFin yes, age appropriate condition.
Maybe we can advise you on what you mean to do with it!
Other than that nix! From me at least!

That looks like a cool board. It's definitely got that 60's bling. I would imagine if you returned to the 60's there were a lot of boards that were simply shaped by surfers so you may be out of luck. If you're really determined, you might want to send your pics to a surf museum and ask them (https://surfmuseum.org/). I would imagine in the 60's there weren't that many surfboard manufacturers (Hobie, Gordon & Smith, etc.), but I really have no idea. I don't even know where people bought their boards in the 60's. Good luck.

If you are wondering about the value of an old board, they aren't worth much except to someone who might want to keep it as a reminder of the past. Most of the old boards worth much once belonged to famous surfers which enhances their value. Otherwise if you try to surf it most likely it will fall apart fairly quickly. Boards that would be likely to be worth something are going to have the shapers signature usually somewhere along the stringer. You might look for that which would provide us a clue.
