Benefits of a Vintage Surfboard Valuation from an Expert
Appraised auction value establishes a reserve bid (if desired) and estimate for auctioneers to provide to bidders.
Appraisal establishes value for private sales.
Appraisal establishes provenance (verifies origin and history of the board).
Appraisal establishes tangible value for homeowners (and dedicated) insurance purposes.
Valuation offers personal satisfaction and instills a sense of pride of ownership (bragging rights!) when taking your craft to display at vintage surf memorabilia collectors events and the like.
How Vintage Surfboard Valuations Work with Randy Rarick
If you live on (or are visiting) the island of Oahu HI, and you have your board with you, you can schedule an appointment to bring the board to Randy Rarick’s studio at Sunset Beach on the North Shore. He will inspect the surfboard and provide a signed and printed testament to the origin and history of the board, along with the insurable/auction estimate in $USD.
If you are not able to bring the board to Randy in-person, you can submit photos/videos of the board via email for inspection. You will be emailed with the signed and printed testament to the origin and history of the board, along with the insurable/auction estimate.
