Purchased of the used board rack in the mid-1980s. It came with all those stickers on it and I left them there, cuz I thought they were rad. I used to just look at it and dream about the waves I'd get. When I turned 16, my friend and I would drive to Brookings and Crescent City all the time to try and make those dreams a reality.
Things really haven't changed that much.

I had one of those O'neill stickers (but not on my board). If only I still had that first board. I once saw it or something like it pictured in a "board yard sale" up on Surfy Surfy, but JP told me the owner had sold just after the picture was taken. It was a 6'2" Schroff Thruster that seemed like it was three inches thick and 21 inches wide! That's why I didn't need a long board to get started the way all the kids do these days.
Still got yours?
I wish I still had it. It was delamming from the day I bought it - I remember thinking that the soft rails could be beneficial during wipeouts.
I think it was pretty fat and wide too. Unlike you, Tres, I would have benefited greatly from starting on a longboard.
Anybody know anything about Ludwig?
Cool shit Sis!
Classic! Triangular logos were in back then, as were pink and yellow. killer board bro!
