Surfboard info wanted

[Swimmer]

Ross, I enjoyed following your posts on the story. I just read some more of them. I will look and see if any pics from those days are in with the pics my mother gave me for safe-keeping. I looked completely different then, minus about 100#'s. Forgive me for thinking and saying I didn't think it was worth that much. I don't mind being wrong. I do mind being wrong though when my wife is correcting me.

Frank, if I had known what I had, it would have been stored a little bit more carefully. Despite Shea Weber's estimate, the appraisal, and the high prices being asked on CL and elsewhere for Weber boards, it is only worth what someone will eventually pay. We'll see. A granite counter for the kitchen would be worth more to me now than this would be as a wall hanger. Just need to have the right collector be made aware that it is available.... But it is pretty cool that Dewey Weber himself rode this board in all likelihood.

It is really neat that he rode the board. They were so plain and rudimentary then compared to the fancy stuff now, see grip decks and what not. God I wish I had the bungy cord around my ankle, but then again I wouldn't have learned how to swim so good.
