Owl Surfboards, established in 1962 by Jeff White and Brian Bradley, became known for their commitment to quality and craftsmanship. These boards are celebrated not just for their performance but also for their role in the surfing community, often serving as a bridge between the classic and modern eras of surfing. This particular board, featuring a glass-on fin and cedar and redwood triple stringer, adds to its vintage appeal while enhancing its performance characteristics—typical of the classic longboards that made Owl a beloved name among surfers.
As you can see in the photos, the board has some pressure dings but has always been professionally repaired and stored indoors. There is no delamination. Although it hasn't been used in a few years, it is not currently watertight due to a chip on the nose that occurred in my garage.
I purchased this board new from Jay Nelson in 2006 at Mollusk Surf Shop in San Francisco, coinciding with the shop’s first year. Mollusk has since become a cultural hub for surfers, known for its dedication to the surfing lifestyle and community.
This board is not only a functional piece for wave riding but also a collector's item, embodying the rich narrative of surfing heritage and skilled craftsmanship. It stands as a testament to the timeless appeal of longboards and the enduring legacy of Owl Surfboards in the surf world.
$500.
