Some nice shots of a Jacks Bellyboard are posted of all places on www.jamlongboarding.com. The guy sounds quite stoked!

considering 99% of them looked like
http://jfmill.home.comcast.net/beatsme.jpg -which is probably a Jack's factory second no-name , considering the Superman shield-like outline on the decal, yeah.

While the fin shape on the floral board looks like a Jacks, the outline shape and rails and all seem right, still the floral deck and that pastel color bottom kinda makes me wonder if this isn't a new old stock item, y'know?

Floral was around in the '60s and '70s, yes, but not quite so free-form, and pale opaque laminate colors like that were late '70s and after, not the era of Jack's bellyboards. Laminate colors before that were usually tints or darker opaque-ish swirls (used often to hide a botched board) and floral stuff was more along the lines of patterned prints glassed in like this one: http://www.surfresearch.com.au/00000074.html. - more historical images at http://www.surfresearch.com.au/00000000t.html

Bear in mind that the above photo with a slightly browned, beat board is around twenty years old and both those guys are now at college..... teaching at college. That floral one is just too pretty, either it was stashed for 30 years or it's something else.

Take an old ( or copied/reshaped ) fin, an unused Jack's decal and there ya go, kind of an old-school nostalgia model bellyboard. Leastways, I'd have suspicions.

color me cynical...... but not in opaque pastel

The logo says "Completely Custom". The fabric could have been special order. And the teal color is similar to a three stringer Jack's that recently sold on ebay. Perhaps sanding off the color coat could expose some clean white foam, and then just add a pinstipe around the fabric inlay. But for now Mikey values the board for how it rides, and not for how much money it's worth. And as Martha would say, "that's good thing."
