    Question Can anyone tell me what kind of a board this is?

    Hello

    A friend of mine has had this board for some time now. We were doing some googling to try and find out as much information on this board as possible, but we can't find anything.

    My friend thinks it is a 2nd addition, made somewhere around 1966 and it has custom clay wheels.

    I figured I'd asked the experts, so if any of you could give me any kind of info or links it would be greatly appreciated. thanks

    Go to the Makaha website to verify, but I believe that's the Makaha Originator which has been re-released to the public. makahaskateboards.com

    Yes Original Gangster is where the term came from. It also means Original Gear which is the term that I was using. Anything that is stock is OG. IT all comes from the Low riders in California.8)

    Cool Re: Can anyone tell me what kind of a board this is?

    The first board that I bought was a 1975 Makaha, with looseball
    urethane wheels. It was Mahogany with no grip tape! I later added
    my own grip tape and Road Rider 2's with precision bearings.
    MUCH BETTER
