Sometimes an Old Surfboard, is just an Old Surfboard

Just because a board is old, aka vintage, DOESN'T mean there is some special value that can be ascribed to it. However, an old surfboard that was owned, shaped, or ridden by a notable surfer, MAY command a higher value because of that association. The first, or the last board, shaped by a notable shaper, may also fall into that category. Special models, prototypes of breakthrough designs, or special purpose boards (like big wave Guns) can also have premium value attached to them.
