About
I created this site so that my collection can have an audience, instead of dust. My interest in collecting started in 1994 when I found a 5’9″ near mint condition twin fin, green and blue G&S @ a thrift store. At the time, 1960′s longboards were in high demand, but not 70′s or 80′s boards. Today, I mostly focus on early-to-mid 1980′s boards that remind me of my early days of surfing.
I welcome any comments, pictures of your boards that you would like to add to the site, offers, or want to sell.
Aloha!

hey,
I am having trouble determining whether i have a real McCoy surfboard! I have looked all over the internet but i can’t find any information about it…i was wandering that maybe you might have come across something similiar or might hold some information about it or where i could get some information from!
There isn’t many markings on it, it has:
1. the infamous McCoy logo across the middle
2. Shaped by Mal Hockley
3. and is 5’7″ long…other than that nothing else
Cheers,
Rhys
Dose anyone have the history on Mako surfboards. Found one at a garage sell in great condition from the early 60s. Thanks Wade
I live in Hermosa Beach, California and I’ve been researching appraisers for my 1965 Bing Surfboard. Can you advise me as to how I would get an appraisal and ultimately put it up for sale or auction? Thank you for any advice you may have.
DETAILS:
Serial Number: 3994,
9 feet 7 inches long
Redwood Stringers
Thick glass
Great condition
Large 9 inch D Fin
White with green competition stripe
White pin striping
Katamacave Bottom – Noll called it a slot bottom and Bing called it a Katamacave bottom (catamaran and concave-like)
Bing logo with no name in it (Made to look like cat eyes – ordered that way from BING in 1965 by my friend Steve Clark, who was the one and only, original owner)

Hello ken,
I have a one of a kind mark richards twin fin in mint condition never been ridden. i was in the hurley art show called against the grain the team up with the 80s shapers with 80s punk rock artists the board was hand shaped by mark himself and the artwork on the bottom was done by kris markovich amazing 80s skateboarder i bought the board back in 05 and been sitting on it ever since. there were 17 boards that were all sold for charity by vh1 save the music foundation the cheapest board went for 3,000$ us just wanted you to take a look at it and let me know if you have a market for the board. like i said its 284/500 that MR came back and shaped and hand signed on the deck…look forward to hearing from you and i love your website spent hours on here loving it.
Aloha,

Hello Ken,
Thank you for the email and sorry for the delay. Your T&C is a classic, keep it. The board serial numbers MM 84 3199TE, represent the following:
MM: Shaper’s initials
84: year the board was shaped
3199TE: basic serial number of board.
Do you have a picture of the board you can email me? I would love to post it on thevintagesurfboard.com blog.
Thank You,
Kris
