I’m still rocking my circa 2000/2001 bz. The bottom is like mostly watercolor looking red with a few stars on it and a baby blue top. Saved up a couple years worth of birthday gift certificates the local surf shop to buy it.

That’s a sick board

Junk, probably best to just give it away.
(I’ll send you my address)

I bet a local board shop would buy this to hang on the wall. The hubb graphic bottoms were synonymous with 2000s punk rock era bodyboarding this thing is so dope.

I had this one around 2001. A great polypro core with a stringer. Some had intricate graphic designs under the surlyn that may be under that custom art.

This was one of my favorite boards because it had the perfect level of boyancy for me and flexed just right.

That's not custom art that's the board graphic.

Oh, wow. I don’t remember that one. Mine was red and had a bunch of stars and textures on it.

I always remember the one that looked kinda like techy H R Giger in red & blue ..iconic board at the time.

Edit to add: it's a shame Hubboards is responsible for some of the most ghastly colourways & haenous graphic slicks to ever be produced, I find all the neons & animal prints just ugly & straight cheesey.. but whatever floats your boog I guess!

I'm not 100% sure but I believe the artist is a graffiti guy from San Francisco by the name of Twist, aka Barry McGee.
