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...
