    Default Found this in the garage...

    Was moving some boxes around the other day, and found this old board i'v had laying around for some time. I must have picked it up at a garage sale or something.

    Initially i thought it was some home brew'd up board, but it has part of a logo near the tail of the board. The bottom word on the logo looks like it might say Surfboards. The Board is not very long nor is it wide. The trucks, whether they are original or not, must have been re-drilled because they don't seem to match up correctly with the holes in the deck.

    Anyways, if anyone might have some insight, would be cool to know what i have.

    That's one of the craziest, antique looking boards i've ever seen.

    Are those steel wheels?

    Yeah. thats gotta be really friggen old. the last board i remember having steel or metal wheels was around 1970. and they looked nothing like those. must be from the 60's. great find.

    Turn on. Tune in. Drop out.

    8)1950's Side walk surfer Nash surfboards that's what the logo said on it. It is original and yes the trucks where moved at one time. Still in OK condition for it's age. It is a good thing the logo is still readable. Good wall hanger and a keeper.

    We have the same board here at the shop, story is it was found at a garage sale. We ride it in the warehouse and is quite slippery on 100 yr old wood floors!

    Basically the same trucks and wheels that were on my first board, a Nash Shark, back in '68...
