Angell/Haut 70's shortboard

I will be spending the some time next week getting this board fixed up and ready to bring to Sacred Craft in Santa Cruz next weekend. I found this board in an attic that I was hired to clean and organize when I was in high school. The guy traded me my days work for the board and I took it home, patched it up and rode it. On a surf trip to Santa Cruz,  i was riding the board at steamers lane and a guy mentioned that it was a great piece of history so I hung onto it. Eventually it got a little beat up and I stopped riding it but I have been meaning to fix it up for some time now. It is a really beautiful board and the antique roadshow at Sacred Craft has given me an great excuse to finally fix it. This is a 6'8" shaped by Mark Angell under the Haut label, it was shaped in 1978. That's all I know about this board but it will be fun to find out the whole story next weekend. I will keep you posted on what I find out. If you know anything about this board please leave a comment.

Freshies and Boards in the Works

The boards on the racks at Leslie's are constantly changing as new ones come in and old ones get finished up but one thing remains constant, the boards always point north. These are a few that we have been working on recently. The board on the bottom is my 8 foot mini long board that I will be glassing this next week. I got a couple more board orders while working at Lost Surf Shack this week and i am really excited about getting them started. Stay tuned for progress on those boards, sacred craft moments and  restoration of a bright red vintage single fin.
