Another board to the collection (Lucas)

Postby GT3guy » Tue Jan 04, 2022 1:18 am

This is pretty cool. Found it for 25.00 with a little crack on the tip…

Nice board…
Anyone ever see one of these?

Must be a local shaper, and since it has FCS1's it's probably mid 2000's. Have you tried searching on yelp for the shaper?

Have fun on that.

I haven’t…it’s a good board and probably destined for the wall with a few others. I can fix the tip but it’s like a bandage and will just crack again… thankfully the tip didn’t completely fall off and it was saved…

You put a Town & Country sticker on a non-Town & Country board ?

It’s not actually “stuck” on it… it looked bare and set it on there with little piece of tape..

I used to be one of the surf buyers for Town & Country Surf. I recall they used to sell a lot of the large T&C stickers. People would put them on the surfboards made in China bought at Costco to cover over the Gotcha and other brand logo. ( those were the hard fiberglass boards not the Wavestorms )

Anyways, I can tell immediately that the sticker wasn't put on right. The Ying-Yang is in slightly wrong orientation from how they put it on the boards at the factory and on their clothing.

The ying-yang… hahaha you mean the north and south dots should be aligned with the center line..

No, the dots should NOT be in line with the stringer.
