I just bought an old McCoy twin fin board to add to the collection and I'm hoping someone here may be able to tell me a little bit about it. It's my first McCoy twin fin.
The board is probably from around 1970, please chime in with your best guess about it's age.
Dimensions are 5'7'' x 20+1/2'' x 3+3/4''. It's the thickest board I've seen, yet. The bottom has a green resin tint and the deck was probably white when it was new.
It has doubled-up McCoy logos on deck and bottom, something I have not seen before. Maybe an attempt to make the logo look 3-D?

It is numbered 709 on the deckside stringer and a name is written on the deckside stringer towards the tail. The name is not very clear, it could be RONNY.
Do you think "Ronny" was the shaper or the customer?
Do you think the board was shaped by Geoff McCoy, or would it have been RONNY or someone else working for him at the time?
The bulge in the middle of the board in the side view photo is a delamination.

The board is in relatively good nick, a couple of hours work would be enough to seal a few thin spots on the rails so it would be waterproof again. I think it has been re-glassed (thinly) at some time and is not in particularly 'original' condition, but I guess there might not be many like it around.
How many similar boards might have been shaped back then?
Any insights into the background of the board would be much appreciated.
Has anyone here ever surfed one like it? A retrospective ride report would be nice.
Cheers, Mik
