Answer 1

It looks like a Tom Blake and if so Big Bucks - don't let it stay outside and if you do want to sell it, have it appraised by a couple of collectors first.

Answer 2

It is a little beat up, if it were pristine probably at least $1500USD. The way it is now maybe 800, 900. Really, it is worth what someone will pay for it you know. Do those plaques have any names on them? Try looking at a paddleboard specific site and see what the paddlers say, they are pretty in tune to the history of surfing and such. They might have a better answer for you

Dam I have never seen anything like that I bet that could go for alot way over a 1,000 for sure that thing is ancient I bet some legends and collectors are dying to get their hands on that
