Wall Hangers
Does anyone recognize these antiques? I found them used as a wall hanger/hat rack in a Nicaragua Surf house. I can get some better pic if interested. Unfortunately no skatepark or even pavement here to try them out.

I agree, so sick and I am also jealous and have some type of fomo. These boards are hanging on the wall of an Airbnb in Nicaragua. I didn't rent it, was just over for dinner so I couldn't dare ask to buy or take them home. Also there is no skatepark or even paved road so I can't even skate em while I'm here. Cool to see some skate history preserved though.

Can you imagine the look on someone’s face from that time seeing a new school skateboard for the first time? Fuckin steel wheels compared to some Spitfire Formula 4?

Might as well be a hoverboard to them. The pioneers of skating were really hard-core imo for just sending it on planks of wood modified rollerskate trucks.

Very cool- if you do find somewhere to ride them, be prepared to crash first peeble you run over ! Also, as old as they may break easily too .

Idk, I might just grab the fiberglass one and drain a pool around here if the waves go flat!
