| 214171 | 10875 | Just round bottom board pics | 26 | Chilly Willy | Jul 22, 2021 | 2021-07-22T12:19:59-0400 | strez said: One my friends has a 8ft Jacobs just like that, Chilly. Bought it a yard sale for $25 after it was partially "converted" to a sailboard. He had it fixed up and it rides super. Loves the pocket. Click to expand... Nice! A great story about the way I got mine: A guy from my town posted a stolen surfboard on our local Craigslist. It was one of those eye catching wood veneer Model T's. I took mental note of it because it's a small town and I've got a bunch of boards myself, so it hit awfully close to home in many ways. A few weeks later, I happened to be driving past a Fast Cash (pawn shop) and noticed a wood veener Model T displayed in the window. I took some pics through the window, reached out to the guy, confirmed that it was indeed his board, and reported it to the police. The perp got busted (a local punk who got probation for it), and the guy got his board back. Even though I was cool with just enjoying the good karma, he insisted on a reward -- $100. A day or two later, my neighbor showed me a board he wanted to sell and asked if I was interested in making him an offer. "How about $100?" It was funded by good karma and rides great. |
