Agree, I don't really see the value either... It's just what they go for... I think it is already around $600. I would put that money towards custom for myself!... My collection is pretty full though... I keep forgetting to sell stuff.

No question, I would go for a 9'6 Redline, pointy nose (pointier than stock). 1/2" red stringer, with finer side stringers, glass on fin... Tagged as a Rincon '68. Undecided on tints... Probably quite plain.... maybe a very weak milky tint, to retain whiteness. Blue fin. Probably a blue cotton inlay and blue tint band like this Neo... * http://www.mctavish.com.au/surfboard/the-neo * (* you know I like a little bit of Blue! )

You do like blue don't you,I was thinking one of his classic's one that changed boards,the redline is a great board but I would go for something with some history.

If you read the text on the Keyo, you will read "Johnny Gill". Johnny is Danny Keyo's son in law. http://keyo-int.tumblr.com/ And this is my Keyo keeper, custom from Johnny. * * I like blue!

$2 on Morris. Not sure though. Need Doggie's keen eye in the morning. (Just sent Doggie a PM link, so he'll be all over it in the morning.)

The 2 boards on the right would have been fun at Bells in the day! Round pins... Try and imagine 4 of us on those 4 boards at overhead Bells, nobody else out, Summer, 1969.
