COOL pic there, Craig! Always nice to have photos of your old boards. I had a few pin tails and a diamond tail as well, before going to swallow tails as my standby.
I wish I had taken photos of all the boards I had over the years....
Here's one from 1975 - "Big Jim" on the left and me on the right with our fishes. Big Jim and I were roommates in my 3rd year in college. He's an attorney now and lives in Ponce Inlet and has a huge surfboard collection. He also got me involved with cycling and we took a few long distance bike trips together back in the day.
Those fishes were FUN!
Another pic of me with my new Creation single fin diamond tail - probably a 6 footer, like yours....
And my single fin swallowtail I took to
PR on my first surf trip outside the US....shaped by Danny Nichols!
Late 70's with another Nichols single fin with wings....fun board!
One taken by my Mom at her house from the 90's......Randy Richenberg 6'6" thruster....
