Three-time international surf champ Corky Carroll answers your questions each week on the Beach Blog. To hit him up, email him at corkysurf@aol.com. Here’s what he wrote about this week:
Q.  Have you ever written a column about your favorite surf spots?  I would be interested in know what you favorites are here in California.
 A.  My top choices off the top of my head today:  Rincon, near Santa Barbara.  Cotton’s Point in San Clemente.  Swamis in Encinitas.  And Blacks Beach in San Diego.
Q.  My dad left me a surfboard that is from the 1920’s or 30’s.  I have heard it is worth a lot of money.  Would you know anything about it?
A.  Well yes, it would be worth considerable if it is in decent condition.  There were not many people making boards way back then.  I would think that it is probably more 30’s or 40’s vintage.  Take it to the Surfing Heritage Museum in San Clemente and they will be able to document the history of your board and probably be able to give you a reasonable guess as to how much you could receive at auction or from a collector.
