Click here to see the profile of this user 		Info on Dick Brewer 1970's Board - 2010/12/31 01:39 What's going on, got a question to see if anyone out there knows anything or has any info on a board I recently picked up off craigslist

done some research and this is all I found out;
Dick Brewer "w.a.v.e" aluminum hollow core with fiberglass deck w/ recessed hexagon logo, original multi colored single fin w/ fin box. I didnt think fin boxes were out that early on boards? either way its a cool board i bought for $20 and wanna see if i should repair it and mount it on the wall or see if i can fix her up and get some $ for it.. either way its a cool board just didnt know if anyone knew more about them. thanks

I doubt you have a "Treasure" ,but clean it up and hang it on your wall.Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.Perhaps even ride it,watch for it getting heavy...it's leaking.
