Cool board. What does it weigh? I'm just curios to compare to modern boards. Looks to be polyester over clark foam.
I used to have a Sailboards Maui originally built in 1984 for one Mike Waltz. It was a double stringer clear polyester on clark foam and weighed in at about 22 pounds dry. It was short and wide at about 7'-10" with a winger pin tail and sported a thruster set up. Deep double concave nose to tail. In some respects it mirrored the current boards shaped by Keith Taboul. I wish I still had it just to show that everything goes in circles. I ditched it around 1994 for the newer narrow shapes of the times, but I always missed its unique ride. The thing was great in high wind with a 4.7 on down. Stuck to the water, planed up pretty early, and turned on a dime. |

I still have a Bruce Jones double-concave slalom board shaped for Reid Lockhart of Santa Barbara Surf Sails/ Neil Pryde, vintage 1981-82! Want some Pryde Mark Angulo surf sails to go with it... got a quiver. I just can't part with old friends! Bull-out |

I went to high school with Steve Coletta in the 60s. We were all in the surf scene back then in Palos Verdes. |

Its in perfect condition, mostly yellow. I would like to know the history of this board, who owned it, where it sailed. It seems to me that there must be some Bay area history here. Please e mail me what you know. Also if you have a respectable place to exhibit this board, I will give it to you. |
Hah! I threw this board away from Cal Sailing Club; and you picked up it from the free area, good!.
I "discovered" this board in the corner of the yard, after a former second vice (Matthias) showed up and told me it was there. It's way too old for us to keep, and I thought it deserved a better home. Matthias donated the board to the club, and tells me it's about 15 years old. You'll have to contact him for full history (don't know last name, sorry).
