1969 8’0′ weber strato series experimental.

In the late 60′s experimental shape. Heavily influenced by the smaller v-bottom boards the Aussies were riding during that time. This board features a not so subtle tri-panel vee that grows into a hard vee right behind the tail. Bob Mc Tavish gives a great explanation of the function of vee in Fantastic Plastic Machine. Vee basically allows the surfer to control the board from the mid section eliminating the need to walk back to the tail to turn. This makes the board more maneuverable and allowing the rider to place it in the more critical places on a wave.

I am under the impression that this particular board was only made for a short period of time. By 70′ and 71′ boards had become considerably smaller, likely making designs like this obsolete at the time. Being that this is an “experimental” board I’m not sure how many were shaped. I’ve attempted to research it. Apparently the strato series was a series of weber experimental boards from the late 60′s. Several versions were done according to the waves of particular regions (hawaii, east coast, and california).

I found this board on craigslist. i called the number and spoke to a gentlemen for some time before realizing that it was my parents next door neighbor of 15 years. He had a few of his old surfboards that he was trying to sell, this being one of them. on my next visit home, i stopped by to see tommy and check out the board. We visited for a short while, during which he told me all about his boards and surfing/living on the outer banks during the 60′s and 70′s. Tommy bought the board brand new in 1969 from a hardware store in virginia beach. He said it was the first ‘shortboard’ he’d ever seen. it originally came with a greenough style fin but he rode it with a smaller fin, shaped like a porpoise’s dorsal fin. Both of which have been lost. He told me the board nose rides great and that it was fun to make the tail slide out and do 360′s with the smaller fin.

I’ve only ridden the board once since i’ve gotten it. Stomach high waves on a very full tide. It wasn’t the best day to judge. My first impressions were that it paddled like a board of a much bigger size. I had never ridden a vee bottom before, or not one this pronounced. You can feel the board shifting from panel to panel. Almost teetering as you shift weight from rail to rail. I dug rail a few times because of this (likely combo-ed with the fatness of the surf). all though the conditions were not ideal it was still a ton of fun, very different.

For a guy who has some shoulders and is not skin and bones like I was when I was 18 the O’Neill wetsuits seem to fit the best for me. So I have worn these for years. Like I said the seams are tough as nails and stay together and withstand at least 3 days of surfing every week.

The suit is warm and pretty much water tight when you first get it. So your first season you can wear a 3/2 out all winter and get away with it. However after that first season and wearing it in to spring then fall surfing back into your next winter, it is not as warm.

Here is what I have found that wears out on this suit:

The shoulders – meaning where you stretch it and paddle the material just gets thin and starts letting water seep through.

The key pocket- located on the lower right leg it’s great and works excellent but it eventually rips at the corners. This allows water in. Not a huge deal but it does wear out.

Next to the seams – I have had the smoothy on the chest pull from the welded seem. This also causes leakage. This one however can be fixed by you, the factory or Joann at the Froghouse.

I suspect you give up longevity for comfort and flex and a light suit. This soft rubber works great but doesn’t last as long as we would like it to. I would like 3 seasons from a suit that I pay $400 for but I really only get 2 seasons.

However, O’Neill is a stand-up company who backs their products. I had a Psycho II that literally fell apart after one season. I sent it to O’Neill and with in a couple of weeks I had a brand new up to date model that lasted twice as long as the other one. That kicked ass.

You can read all the wetsuit sites for proper care but I have found a few simple ways to prolong the life of your suit. 1. do not hang it on a hanger! Especially when it is wet. This just wears the shoulders out. Hang it over the back of a chair in the middle of the suit.
this wont put all that wet weight stretching out while its drying. 2. Don’t leave it in the sun all day. If you leave it outside for a couple hours after a surf take it in and turn it right side out and let the outside dry indoors. The sun breaks down that black smoothy and seam welds. 3. Rise as good as possible after your surf. The saltwater eats everything if left on it. I seen saltwater destroy steel boat trailers in a year so think what it can do to your soft rubber suit.

Summary – This is a great suit I would recommend for its performance and fit. With some simple steps you can really prolong the life and get at least a few years from it before you are scratching up 4 more bills to replace it.

If you have experience with this suit write review below. We would like to hear your feedback.

ReviewSurfboards – this seems like a very warm suit at that zips up across the chest. I am a big fan of Oneill because of fit and flexibility. The Mutant is a mid range suit with less of the super flex rubber then a pyscho 2. This could mean a bit less comfort but it could mean a longer life as the soft rubber does tend to wear out fast.

If you have used this suit please submit a review.

Large Ceremony on the beach before the paddle out.

Everyone getting ready to go out for the paddle

In the line up

The board is in good surfing condition.  It is water tight and ready to slide your favorite spot.

I have ridden this board in small mushy waves to shoulder high faster style beach break.  Ride it at your favorite spot and have some classic fun.   As you can see the board shows its age and has some battle marks but they are filled and water tight.

The board is approx 22″ wide with a 16″ tail and 17″ nose.  The rails are 50/50 and are as good as any that are being shaped today.  The tail does have some V but not as extreme as some of the Yater’s and others that I have ridden.  This make the board more friendly on the bottom turn and does not spin out like some extreme V bottoms.  But it does still have that rolling whippy style turns.

This board is currently for sale at a steal of a price for $275 obo.  Make a fair offer and you will be surfing it today.  The board is located in Orange County California and I do not want to ship it so please be able to pick up local.
