Quiver Downsizing: Boards for Sale

All boards located in Lavallette. Contact sak@eastcoastsurfer.com

6'10" x 20" x 2.5" Fly (Paul Baymore hand-shape, Glassed-off epoxy glassing). In very good+ condition. No dings or dents on bottom or rails, minimal denting on deck, one pro-repaired ding on tail that never took in water. Not a funshape- a shortboard-y outline with a round tail. Has traction and noseguard. Comes with JC1 fins and a leash, so it is the complete package and ready to go. $275.





5’10” …lost Round Nose Fish. No dings, a few minor dents on the deck. I bought this board advertised as a 5’8” sight-unseen, turns out it was actually a 5’10” which is a touch too big for my tastes. Pulled the dimensions, going to have my friend Rick at Gallery Surfboards re-scale it down a few inches, but gotta sell this one first. Comes with a set of new M5’s for $350. If you want to supercharge it, I can swap out a set of Carbon twin fins and small fiberglass trailer for an additional $25.




And finally, the 6’5” Bonzer. Moonlight glassing, rock-solid quality, absolutely zero dents on the bottom and only the slightest dimpling on the deck (we are talking really solid glassing here). No dings whatsoever except a spider-cracking on the rail near the tail that has been sealed.

Dimensions are not written on the board, but I am pretty sure they are 6'5" x 18 3/4" x 2 3/8" I do believe I can make out the serial number through the pigment, so if precise dimensions are needed, maybe the Campbell Brothers will have the info in their records.

The rails are quite foiled down by Campbell Bros. standards (most bonzers are too beefy for my likes), but still has plenty of float and paddle for my 6'0" 185-190 frame. Comes with 7" True Ames Bonzer fin. $400 FIRM.
