I have an early 90’s 6’3” West Wind board shaped by Rick Burhans ( yellow) and I have a 7’0” single fin shaped by Rob Burns, Local Motion Board. That’s about all I know about these two boards. I’m really looking for information about these two boards and what their value is, their history, etc. Any information would be very helpful!!! Thank you.

The Rob Burns is much earlier than the 90sband is showing its age and lack of care and repair.
For its history take the production number and speak to the Local motion shop.
The yellow board is not quite as damaged but is working on it.
Basically IMHO not worth much !
Their history hmmmmmmm?

Thank you so much for that info. Yes, they were always in this condition, do you think they could be be restorable?

Each ding crater , hole, shattered glass and broken nose and tail with broken swallow tail are like tree rings, tell the history ( long forgotten) of the injuries to the boards. They once were new they weren’t always like that!
Restoration as wall hangers or to surf ( which raises the question do you surf?) depending on whereyou are there maybe board restorers and whether the cost is worthwhile is up to you, were they some surf hero or zeros board?

very old boards like that aren't worth much unless they were owned by someone famous. Polyurethane foam gets old and brittle so that if someone starts to use it it will have accelerated damage and a short life

The red one has an interesting shape and you might (if lucky) find someone willing to pay a little bit (like a $100-200 ish) for it as a display piece. The yellow one is probably a $50 giveaway; there are literally 1000s of boards like that in attics and garages

Just for your knowledge:
“Rob Burns is a native Hawaiian and 6th generation descendant of Englishman Robert Holt, who sailed to Hawaii in 1820. At 15 years old he started shaping surfboards and eventually founded the popular surf company, Local Motion. He went on to own Kahala Sportswear, Hawaiian Style, Island Snow ( president Obama’s favorite shave ice ) and created the Hawaiian Style Band”
