Thanks Maniac 67 was a guess. How's the fin on the beast. I had to put 6 layers of 6oz either side to stop it flapping in the breeze. Definitely made to disembowel!
There were some bizarre experiments with fins and other design aspects back then.
Lengths were generally 7/6 -8/2 depending on the weight of the rider, by mid 69 it was 6/6-7/0 and end of 69 was pushing to 5/10-6/2.
Xmas 67 was 9/0,so a 3 foot drop in 2 years.
Another 7 footer - bought this one 41 years ago - paid $ 20 for it
, haven't surfed it for about 30 years - old Gold Coast board
