Posted: Mon May 04, 2020 11:13 pmOld boards aren't usually worth too much if that is what you are wondering. Foam and resin ages and becomes brittle with time. If you want to surf it probably not a board for a beginner. If someone famous owned it that might make it more valuable. Nice shape though might be good for Hawaiian waves. Sometimes there is writing on the blank near the midline stringer on the bottom of the board. That might provide more information if present

Posted: Tue May 05, 2020 6:02 amRobert August himself is a fairly famous surfer and board shaper, but he has also franchised his name to more mass produced boards. So his name itself doesnt mean much
In fact it looks a lot like this model http://www.surfscience.com/surfboards/s ... r-fun-fish
So its not a unique board by any means; its mass produced by one of the biggest manufacturers there is.
The tail of the board is kaput; that will cost a bit of money to repair.
You can probably sell it but you wont get much over $100-120 I wouldnt have thought, unless the rest of the board is in really good condition
