SOLD !
Thanks Nathan. Was a pleasure meeting you and passing on my 52 year old Hobie. 4-1--21
1969 6’10” Hobie Positive Force
While I haven't surfed since the late 70s I do still have my last custom board that I custom ordered from Hobie's Dana Point shop back in 1969.
She has traveled with me cross country from Texas to Oregon and through my four homes in Oregon.
I have many images that I can email to prospective buyers and there are several already on Swaylocks.
I am the original owner of this 9' Phil Edwards Hobie that I bought in ~1992 during Phil's period of reissuing his classic line. For such a basic looking board it has all the "tells" of having been made by the master. It's got more float than your expect for "only" a 9' board. Beautiful rails, slightly pulled in squash tail, T-Ban stringer, & Gold Foil Hobie logo. It is a great down the line board. Typical heal impressions etc but no punctures. I'd grade it in strong 8 condition, 10 being unridden/mint.
