Old surfboard information

Have an older longboard and was wondering if any of the designs on this board mean anything.

The board says it was made by Bonecrusher Designs and measures 9' 3/4". It also has "Assault Weapons" on it and various product logos.

Not a surfer - using the board as a display on my Ford tin woody and would appreciate more information about this board, if there is any.

Thanks!

Nice thought , the woody, 1954 model, unfortunately the board is not old enough, the board is a beaten up and is at the oldest a 1980s model\, as the thruster fin set up gives that away.
You need a 1960s Malibu balsa chip single D fin to match authentically, as for the design thingies just that, no arcane meanings there!
Something like these from Australia circa 1966

Note there is a through the fin rope on one, leash or anti theft?
Check out the movie Big Wednesday for more ideas of what the older boards looked like. :lol:
