vintage boards wanted

Post by surfalog » Sun Oct 02, 2011 1:47 pm

Can anyone help me out please? I need to buy a board from the 60's and 70's for an old mal comp and a retro division. must be straight, no twist, and in above average condition. Thanks.

Not trying to be smart here but I thought old mal comps used boards from about pre 1966. Have they changed the rules?

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

my oldman has a wallace shaped around mid 60s. it used to have his beach rego sticker on it from then to, but its long peeled off. he actually had it customed, and was one of the first chopped down mals, off hand im not sure of exact lenght, but around the 6'10 mark. i rode it a few times as a kid, and we used it as a set of stumps for cricket occasionlly :shock: :lol: . prob with it, and dad confirmed it, was very little rocker. he was trying to use it more like a short board. i keep meaning to get it from him when im up home on the north coast, but never have the room to do so. ive seen old wallace boards restored at jacksons at cronulla, look amamzing.
