I picked up this board in Hawaii about a year ago (2016). The only information the owner had was that it came out of an estate of a guy who was originally from Oregon. The owner told me it was pulled out of the weeds, cleaned up, and "preserved" a few years ago by glassing it. The redwood is in decent good condition with some bumps and bruises but no noticeable rot or infestation. The balsa had some minor surface rot and patching together.
The fin box and fin struck me as unusual. The fin is held in the box with sheet metal and older style flat-head screws through the sheet metal. That made me think early 40's, but I have no idea and haven't been able to find any other information on it. Total weight is just under 100#'s.
What do you guys think? Any information about the board, it's origin, age, value, etc. is very much appreciated.
