Yeah good price, better deck than the previous one which sold recently and cheap compared to one going for £650

Acs651’s are run of the mill, although fetching good money, Kryptonics seem In very good nick too, maybe someone wanted the deck?

It’s only more recently I became aware of Conways roots in surf board manufacture.

Not sure on this one, anyone else think the top logo is a home made stencil, with signs of over spray. I’d suggest a Conway fibreglass deck which were made in Newquay by John Conway, historically known for their surfboards.

What’s the view to the following listing?

He is a genius!
