Dear Bruce – I saw your 60’s Holden board while trying to find a birthday present for my best friend Brad Holden. Brad is the son of Bill Holden (Holden Surfboards). As you know, Bill passed away SuperBowl Sunday, 2008. Brad, his son would love this board if you are willing to part with it. Bill’s boards are almost all originals, (no two are the same) each one personally shaped, painted and glassed by Bill himself.

Anyway – Brad’s birthday is October 20 and regardless if you are willing to part with the board I can put you in touch with him and others who can give you the information you seek.

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Kind Regards
Everett Blanton

hi guys ive seen this board online before and it is what was called a POPOUT ,a popout because it does not have the gremmies in the logo these boards were sold for $59.00 and made for low buget ,divorced moms ect so they could afford a board when boards were around $110.00. this board looks to be in great cond and could bring $400-$600.00 or ? cool board to have just not as disirable due to being a popout! id love to have it in our vintage quiver but couldnt offer top $ non the less we loved the old mans {bills } boards, aloha! steve hammon w/ HOLDEN SURF BOARDS

Yes, these “Holden” boards were sold at variety stores in the 60’s I remember seeing a red one hanging from the ceiling in a JJ Newberry store in Huntington Park in 64
