Hi guys,

Found this old single fin on the top of a skip bin last weekend whilst walking the dog. It's badly water marked, but is very straight and I'm thinking worth doing a basic resto on it. It's 7'6" x 22" with quite sharp 50/50 rails... looks to be late 60's - although it has a modern leash plug (which could have been put in later). The only 'makers mark' is a double 'tear drop' / hot-air balloon logo on the bottom of the nose that I cannot make out (it might become clearer once I sand back the dodgy nose repair).

Can anyone ID this board make and vintage - as I say, looks to be late 1960's...

In regards to the resto I am just going to make it water tight and flush the dings and spray paint it. Thinking of using acrylic paint and was just wondering if when I have finished the colours should I give it a light sand with say 600 wet & dry and then give it a clear coat? If so, what should I be using for the clear coat and should I be giving that a rub with wet & dry before using a car polish on it? Any advice greatly appreciated.

If she does not surf well I am going to wall mount it in the games room...
