I was never a surfer..fishing, tide pool collecting 
diving and small boats etc mostly.
I bought the woody for $25 and managed to get it running 
after working on it for days. The wood was pretty rotted 
on the bottom and the sway bar was broken..it had a 
straight 8 in it.
Was really poor then and when someone offered $150, i 
went for it! Hey, it was 2 months rent and i was making 
$1.25/ hr, working in a gas station nights and weekends 
while going to school.
