Vintage 1970s skateboard forum

Most people have seen these. Some are rarer than others.

This was a 30" WL that is unusual, with reasonable OJs, but good Gullwings with plates. Smallest Comp II with stage II Lime Greens on Tracker mids. The Freestyle on the end was my first board (I think) with ACS500s and Gen I bottle green Kryps.

Pretty average Sablosky, except for the Indy trucks - first ever, 109 in unused condition (except for shop soiling). Gen II 65mm lime greens.

One of many BB ads around '76 I think advertising the Benjflex and some crap called Waimea. Benjyflex would be the hardest BB to find today I would think. Only ever seen one for sale.

Yes never heard of the wainmea or the sunset one

the waimea and sunset werent benjys as discussed on bds,they were just some other brands they advertised amongst their line up,budget ones id have thought seeing as ones a polyprop,ive never seen any either

Just jumping back to the Marc Sinclair deck, Anyone on here get a replica made by this guy,

They are not cheap, but his work looks good and then they probably aren’t cheap to make

ive never seen one in person but they look real good work,didnt brightredmeg buy one?

was looking through some old ads today and found this- sunset surf shop in california,they have an early 3 hole board in the ad so presumably went on to do some more boards inc the polyprop one mentioned earlier?

look at how much more the Turner decks were than anything else 3 or 4 times more than any other deck

Sablosky on a Benjyboard white lightning

ignore my other post about sunset, it was actually made by sci [sure craft inc] i stumbled upon a sci advert and there was a pic of it on there,unfortunately i cant find it again it also stated at the bottom of the ad that their uk distributors were benjyboard.

which ties nicely in with this advert from benjy

theres even one on ebay about 20 miles from me lol
