Is this a decent board? Yeakel

Hi,

Is this a decent board? It is about 9ft. Got it a long time ago :woot:

Can't seem to find anything online except this: http://stokednboard.surfingheritage.org/pdf/Yeakel_Ca.pdf

Any info would be helpful.

Thanks!

Looks OK under the grime, or the nose area does anyway, check along the rails and at the tail to see if it needs repair after cleaning off all that wax and start waxing again.

Looks like a good basic design and it's not a Chinese special. :lol:

that's a neat board to have. The shaper was Dugan Yeakel. He passed away in 2009, so there will not be more boards made by his hands. Dugan also hand-crafted large wooden boards. He grew up around Manhattan Beach, California, and was deeply involved in surfing.

Nice! :thumbs:
Anyone know what it is worth? Is it a board that will go up in value years from now or just cool to have? Thanks!
