hi i have recently aquired a surfboard but have absolutely no idea what it worth.
its a mike daniels board , about 6ft. long or so.
has a little bit of damage shown in pics but im really just trying to get an estimate on
what its worth cuz i really have no idea.
so let me know !

To you I'd say it's completely worthless, to somebody that board is suitable for... I'd say about a hundred euro. Been loved to death by someone before. Lot of yellowing in he glass, quite a few dings. Still a bit of life in it but it's definitely not the board it once was. I'd probably use it to check out a new spot that might be a bit sketchy.

Pretty much on the mark as to value =nil, but as a rugged reef rider saves thrashing a better board.
If it wasn't politically and environmentally incorrect, setting fire to a board as a sacrifice to the surf gods is a sure fire way to bring up the surf. I hope acquiring, didn't cost too much. If you are going to learn to ride on it use solar resin to fix the rail and tail dings, rest assured that if you don't the tore glass will find ways of slashing your flesh as you learn. Good luck.

take off that tailpad and you can use it on another board. thats probably worth more than teh board itself haha. also the string at the end is transferable to another board. you can use this board as decoration on your wall, paint it white and keep it.

Meh, ride it to death, throw some resin on the cracks maybe do a qcell fill and it should be water tight. If you're trying to turn it for a profit you probably won't make any. If you decide to throw it away or that you don't want it try to find a younger surfer to give it to.

I'm into doing all my own work and my 2 best friends shape about 2 boards a week. If you don't know how to do anything with it, it would be a great board to learn to do your repairs on. Just do whatever is the most fun, but yeah that board has seen better days for sure.
