Hey Rosco, nice stick!
I knew it was a Weber from the logo but figured it pre-dated the Performer - I got a 9'6" Performer noserider as a high school graduation gift from my folks in '67. 23" wide - which would cramp your groin muscles just sitting on it but you never missed a wave and could spend all day on the nose. I even ended up naming one of my goldens 'Dewey' too
Wish I hadn't traded it in...
-
I figure Shea from Weber is probably the late Dewey Weber's son - his dad Dewey was called "The Little Man on Wheels",
great
noserider.
Definitely keep it if you can - for yourself and your kids too, if they're interested at all in surfing. This year will be my 47th in the surf...
I still have 2 boards left, my favorite is an 8'2" Nectar noserider. You know, you might be surprised how far back in age a day in the surf will take you...
In fact, here's a clip from '66 to show you just how far back that really is...
Of course, there's still folks rocking the longboards...and the bikinis look better than ever, too...
"
There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881
