BOTD: The Original Dumpster Diver

We have a huge collection of classic boards from different eras of surfing history decorating the store so we came up with a Board of the Day idea, here is the first of what will be a daily post from the SC crew.

This classic early 1960's Jacobs was "recycled" from the landfill in Santa Paula Ca. back in the mid seventies by the weigh master Tony Gatica. Tony a south bay surfer from the 60's, kept the foam and redwood relic from its untimely death by taking it to his house in Ventura. The board was in need of major repair and was moth balled
in the garage for over 20 years.
Sometime in 2006,  Tony's nephew Mark Allison owner of Surf City in Myrtle Beach SC had the board shipped over in a shipping container he shared with Lynn Shell from Outerbanks Boarding Company. Lynn a legendary surfer/shaper from OBX (now shaping and distributing Superbrand Surfboards for the East Coast) took the board into the glass shop and gave it the ultimate face lift.The holes were filled and a nose block was added it was glossed and polished. The board has found its final resting place in the newly renovated Surf City Surf Shop in Myrtle Beach South Carolina. It is now part of a 50+ board collection on display.
