my dad has an old custom shaped by alan williams and we have been told its pretty rare and worth a fair amount. do any of you guys know more about these boards??? we know that he no longer shapes as he suffered a stroke and the business is closed down. its a 9'1" and was made to order around the mid 80's. here are some pics:

They're lovely boards, made by a couple of brothers I think in Wales. And you're right, they did shut up shop due to illness.

They're definitely collectable.

I remember seeing loads for sale in a shop in Cardiff once, in the late 80's.
