Harbour skateboards


I picked up this deck years ago before yardsale'n became trendy. I just realized not too long ago this deck is from Davo's home town! Sweet!

Check out out those ACS... not a grind!
and gotta love the Snakes too!!

Davo, do you know anything about this board??

That's to sweet Don-O. Are those Sims Gold Bearings, in those Snakes? I remember wanting them 'cause the ad made them look so shiny and cool.

It would be worth a million dollars but someone had to put stickers on it and then remove them! emoticon LOL

Sweet board Dan!

Re: Harbour skateboards


Awesome find! I used to ride exactly that deck, including the red Sims Snakes. I always liked the 50/50 red/black grip tape, and have been planning to setup a modern deck with that grip tape pattern. Sent you an e-mail Dan...

Dave can fill in the details, but Harbour surf has been in Seal Beach for what, about 40 years, and put out some very cool skateboards in the 70s.

Oh yeh Sham!.. The Sims Gold bearings... no it's not in these wheels.
BUT! I do have a complete set on another board.... emoticon

Damn Bobby! wonder what those skickers were at one time? who knows...
if this board could talk....

Hey Tim, Stoked to hear you road a deck like this!
I bought it at a yardsale in Sedona, AZ circa 1985.
It's been a wall hanger ever since. I do have a connection to it.. My family lived in Huntington Beach '73-'75 and we used to have family picnics at Seal Beach.... good memories!

Dan~

Re: Harbour skateboards


NICE SCORE!!! If anyone ever finds a first generation Harbour skateboard deck or complete, PLEASE let me know. I had one in the '70s and would love to have another one. I know... dreamin'! HAHAHA! But if it helps, I used profile surfboards at Harbour, too. (shameful plug)

Re: Harbour skateboards


Damn! I had no idea this board is a hot item!
Even Tim was all over it!

So SumD, is this a 1st/2nd generation? or?

Thanks, Dan~

Re: Harbour skateboards


Yeah, and can you believe I couldn't even convince Dan to part with it emoticon
that is a find Dan, definite keeper...

The first generation Harbour skateboards were all fiberglass, and when I stopped in the Harbour shop last month there were a few of these hanging on the wall behind the counter.

Second generation were wood laminate, & that is what you've got.
I know that they made them with 12 plys of birch laminate, not sure if they ever made them in 7-ply, though I think they did (Dave or Mark may know?). Can you tell if the one you have is 12-ply laminate Dan?
