Followup On "Old Blue"

The board in question ... on display in Greg Liddle's Reseda showroom, c1969

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is this the same board, now dwelling in Kirk Putnam's garage, some 45 years later???

Hey Paul

 

Happy new year. I think I have the board in the photo of Greg's old Reseda shop. This was from that time around 1970 when everything went super short.

I don't think this was Ken's board, but it could be. This one is 5'6''. He thought his was 5'10''.

Kendog,

What to you think, is this your old blue board, now lurking in KP's garage???

Paul,

It's hard for me to say yes or no on the board. The color or dis-color has not held up to the test of time.

I sold my board to a girl in OB, I think her name was Lori, short blond, goofy foot as school got out in June. She never paid me for the board. I only know I had a stubbie exactly like the pretty blue one, same color design.

Ken,

I doubt there were too many Liddles with blue decks. KP's is 5'6'', I think you said yours was 5'10''. Labels look about the same as the shot in the showroom. So...very similar at the least.

Anyway, some interesting stuff to ponder...

I agree. Remember that was 44 years ago. I could be wrong on the length. It was a cool board.

Guys,

Also, it has a 'X-16' serial number which was Greg's way of numbering stock boards.

I'll post more later if and when info becomes available.

In the mean time...what ever became of Lori???
