Surf Board Identification Needed

[Daimler_Wild]

Ladies and Gentleman,

I found these three boards while cleaning a building's basement in NYC a few days ago. Tenant was supposed to return to pick them up seven years ago; haven't heard from him since. I removed the old wax and cleaned them up and would like to know the brand? are they any good? maybe what is their worth? I believe one is a Wave Riding Vehicle board, the short board has a brand but the long board I have no ideas about. Any input would be appreciated...Never surfed in my life and just have no idea about where to start.

You wont get rich. The long board is probably worth the most, a few $100 (US based people will have to help with valuations here), the shorter boards less than that and the really short one probably not too much given its from 1989. They look to be in pretty good condition, although fairly old, so you wont have to dump them. If you were keen you could contact the maker of the long board and ask them about the board (it has a production number on it).

If you wanted to learn to surf then the longboard is probably a good starting point.

Basically surfboards are a bit like bikes. They are reasonably expensive new, drop about 50% as soon as you surf them and then are a dime a dozen after a few years and not worth all that much (especially shorter ones).
