Sims Vintage Mid 80's Signed 140cm Snowboard

This is a near mint condition mid 80’s Sims snowboard signed by Tom Sims (R.I.P.) As Binding development evolved Sims went to hand bent plastic and straps. This rare 2 piece binding was a transition to full baseplate bindings. This set is a fine example of the era with original Sims Velcro straps, everything on this board is original and authentic.

The stainless steel fins are in mint condition and has all three fins. Fin mounting hardware is original but oxidized. This board may not have ever been ridden. The topsheet of this board is flawless but the original silk screened sims wing logo has a small ¼” nick in it. The raised emblem Sims wing logo on the nose is mint but applied slightly crooked.

This board has Tom Sims original and authentic Signature and hand written serial number #9778 it is also personalized “For Rick” in Toms handwriting. The base is in excellent to mint condition. The ptex on this vase is also extraordinarily rare as they did not make ptex wide enough for snowboarders back then so they had to use two pieces of ptex to cover the base. You can see the seam down the center of the base where the two pieces meet.

This board also comes with the über rare Sims surf leash and original invoice. This all original package is hard to find much less in this condition.
