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.
