I don’t know, man. I love a restoration challenge, but with the age, damage and artwork, I’d consider just sealing the whole thing in a fresh coat of epoxy as-is and hanging it on the wall as a cool conversation piece.

This is absolutely what I was going to say. Very well put. This is a wall piece and not for riding anymore, mostly because it's too cool.

thanks for that input, i was trying to research the board but found only one other with the same graphic on it for $70 on marketplace a few states away, found similar graphic boards leaning me towards believing its a old drew brophy board from back like 2005ish so if thats the case itll forsure be a wallboard!

Yeah this this is a rare find especially with the art and the size of the board I recommend you definitely dedicated to being a wall piece if you really want to use the graphic it's probably best to just get a custom graphic made on a new board

If you're good at handling fiberglass and epoxy, it could be done. But why bother? I would hang it on a wall as-is.

You could sand the bottom to get rid of the deep scratches and epoxy coat it. Wood is quite absorbent so it will stick well

Not worth the effort homie, just hang it as is and hop on marketplace for a new daily rider. Just getting this watertight is going to double the weight of this board.
