Is there anyone who can put an approximate date on this Hobie board? It looks like maybe a transition-era board before Hobie started using the diamond logo.
Wondering if it was a custom or for a team rider since it doesn't have any markings.
Perhaps Mr. Thrailkill has some insight if he is reading this.
Thanks
As always, thanks for your valuable insight.
what are the dims
Thanks
Approx. 8'11".
i don't have any other dims on it.
I shaped something very similar in late 68. Same kind of overblown "pin tail" and full nose with an early Bahne fin box. And I would concur that Munoz is suspect. Either his board or shaped by him for someone in the Hobie circle.
That which can be assorted without evidence was read in an illegal magazine.
Hobie was using the diamond logo by 1960.
The font in that lettering is unlike any label I have ever seen on a Hobie. I suspect it is not a Hobie at all.

Good observation.
