A mate needed a softboard for his daughter & when I offered him mine he offered me this

Its a circa 1985 - 1990 Santosha shaped by Mark Ogram dims 6'6 x 19 x 2. The 2 inches is maintained from the rocker to the front fins & the photo's don't do the depth & awesome'ness of the channels justice. Its only got a few light pressures and a very small delamination on the bottom Santosha decal which is also has a small hole.

I want to clean this board up & ride it, I reckon it will be sick. My friend said it rides great, but he has another old board that is his favourite.

Obviously it needs a light sand & from memory these speed finish boards were basically boards which were sanded & then didn't have a filler or gloss coat.

Considering the glass is so old I'm worried it might be brittle & break easily. So I'm tempted to have it glassed with like 1 ounce glass or something. At the very least I want a fresh coat of resin on it.

What do you guys think, will the age of the board make it weak? What do yuz reckon I should do?

I wanna ride this thing so bad, but not until I know its strong.
