Surfing Waves

hey yall-

i bought an old surfboard(single-fin) from my uncle a couple of years back for five bucks. it was just sitting in a basement, so i figured i could put it to use. after stripping off the wax, i found it to say "OCEANSIDE" with script writing that appears to say "Javelyn"

heres the link to the board pic:

the logos:

the shaper signature:

have yall heard of the brand, shaper, model, or even when this board could have been made?

thanks,
tommy

I have never heard of it at all....frankly, it looks like a no brainer junk board.... sorry....actually your uncle probably should have GIVEN you the board... oh well....

your best bet is to try www.swaylocks.com proably you best bet of finding infomation on it

thanks for the help. it is beaten to a pulp, and has some bad repair jobs im gonna cut out an redo. havent looked at swaylocks yet, but i probably would

Oceanside these days is known in the surf world as the home of Takayama surfboards. Now I am sure you do not have a Takayama of any description there but nevertheless it looks like it would be a lovely board with a bit of care and attention spent.

i have no idea but i know a guy whos into old boards in a big way-you can barely move around his house for vintage surfboards, if its special, chances are he'll know.
