Description

This eye-catching vintage 1970s transitional period CON surfboard has been fully restored to its original vibrant glory. The brightly saturated orange deck is accented by the iconic CON logo that can be seen front and center. This board is a showstopper, with its faithfully restored acid splash rails that wind their way around to expand across the bottom of the board.  This board comes complete with removable fin.

The acid splash surfboard decorating technique originated as a way to cover up the unsightly air-pocket holes on early foam blanks. The aesthetic caught on and evolved into an art form popular for its' free-form artistic value and is captivating to this day.

Dimensions: 7 foot (84 inches) long x 22 inches wide.

Con surfboards was an iconic and much loved surf shop that operated on Pico Blvd in Santa Monica between 1958 and 2009. Many remarkable shapers and surfers passed through their doors both making and riding the CON boards.
