Rare Vintage 1964 Hobie Surfboard Very Clean \ 1966 Newport Beach Surf License

  
9'6" 1" SOLID REDWOOD STRINGER. THIS BOARD IS IN ORIGINAL UNRESTORED CONDITION WITH VERY MINOR LONG AGO MINOR REPAIRED RAIL DINGS...

VERY LITTLE YELLOWING FOR A BOARD OF THIS VINTAGE. IT HAS ON THE BOTTOM A 1966 NEWPORT BEACH SURF LICENSE. THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE AWARE OF THESE KNOW HOW RARE THEY ARE. FOR YEARS I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THAT YELLOW FADED SPOT WAS ON THE BOTTOM OF THESE OLD BOARDS AS I HAD NEVER SEEN ONE THAT WAS REMOTELY LEGIBLE. THIS ONE IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE WHICH I BELIEVE SHOULD ATTEST TO THE VERY SLIGHT USAGE OF THE BOARD.

A HAVE OWNED THIS BOARD FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS. IT HAS GRACED MY WALL IN MY HOME AS ART. I BOUGHT IT FROM A LOCAL SO CAL COLLECTOR. IN 30 YEARS OF SURFING I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER INTACT SURF LICENSE IN ANY COLLECTION. THAT DOESN'T MEAN THERE ISN'T ANOTHER OUT THERE BUT I HAVE NOT SEEN OR HEARD OF ONE.

IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT TO LET IT LAY IN A BAG IN STORAGE WHEN IT IS SUCH A WONDERFUL PIECE OF SURFING HISTORY. I HAVE NEVER BEEN ONE INTERESTED IN RESTORED STUF WETHER IT BE A VINTAGE CAR OR SURFBOARD. IN MY MIND THEY ARE ONLY ORIGINAL ONCE AND I WOULD RATHER HAVE A SURVIVOR WITH A FEW MINOR IMPERFECTIONS THAN SOMETHING ANYONE COULD RESTORE AND PASS IT OFF AS WHATEVER. YOU KNOW THIS IS ORIGINAL BECAUSE OF THE 1966 SURF LICENSE ON THE BOTTOM AND THERE IS NO WAY THAT COULD BE FAKED IF YOU LOOK AT IT.

I BOUGHT THIS BECAUSE IT IS A ONE OF A KIND AND I LIKE UNIQUE. I DON'T MIND SPEAKING WITH SERIOUS BUYERS IF YOU FEEL THE NEED.
