KEEN DAVIS No 122

8'9" x 21 1/2" x  3"

Nose 15 3/8"

Tail 15 1/4"

Pod 6"

As you can see from the image

this board was in pretty bad shape.

Lots of dings and discolouration.

The large rail ding to the right of the fin

was filled with car bog.

Water damage is clearly visable around the fin area.

The stringer under the fin was rotten and had to be replaced.

This is the 4th KD I have restored.

It is the 1st with a production number.

It is also the 1st with a regular D fin.

The other 3 had reverse D fins.

So I would place this board toward the end 

of the labels time based on the fin shape.

1962 to 1964.

Having said that.

The cut lap line on the bottom

is more representative of the early 60's.

Finished.

KEEN DAVIS

This is the third Keen Davis that I have restored.

This board is a one owner board.

It has had its fair share of dings.

Mainly on the bottom toward the nose.

And around the rails.

for a bit more info.

The deck had to be sanded by hand

to avoid sanding through the original pigment work.

You can see how green the blue pigment has become over the years.

Pretty flat rocker.

Chopped strand matt fin.

Covered with a couple of 10oz.
