NOTES BOARD HISTORY Board added to surfresearch collection February 2008. Item collected from Loftus, NSW with no previous history. Extensive repairs in a variety of methods - note squared off nose (image left) and multiple drill holes with resin filling in the deck, image below. DESIGN HISTORY Several manufacxtures of this period produed Standard models, usually a sub 6 ft economy model often characterized by marble gel coat and inserted fin  with no rovings. Colloquially known as Pop-Outs. The blanks were blown very close to the finished shape and only required minimal shaping. Since this retained much of the high density outer core, the construction method was very strong and many surviving examples are in excellent condition.
