I bought a G&S in1964 which I still have with permit 0489 from 1966.
Does it make the value of the board any better? I have a harbour trestle special with the same?
I would think so , cant be to many of them still around , But ill never sell the board just pass it on to my grand sons.
Yes I remember these ….my Dad was so mad that we had to get these ..I being the youngest of Seven Kids …One Of my brothers and I almost got arrested because my Greek Elimator Permit was placed on the nose not the in the location which was 6” from the fin on bottom of board…and my brother did not have a ID as we were j walking across seashore ave at 36th street going home …by the way I was 8 years old …and now I am 60 …
I turned 70 years old last June and i’m still riding my G&S with permit 489 still intact

I have a 1966 surfboard permit on my board. Mine is actually a yellow sticker. Did they change the permit colors yearly?
I have a 1966 as well , all i have ever seen are yellow , what is the number on your’s mine is 489 .
I just obtained a Harbour 9’6” with a Newport Beach permit with a 1967 date, #2211. Do you know how many years they made surfers get stickers?
(the surfboard itself has the number of 936 on it which I discovered as the 936th board that Harbour made)
Two Texans surfed early and late to avoid the guards!
Just acquired a Jeffrey Dale longboard with City of Newport 1967 permit number 2450. It belonged to an old friend.
I have a 1966 Hobie with license number 0418. The board was originally owned by Jeff Long who was about 12 or 13 at the time. His parents would drop him off at the beach, and because he couldn’t get away in his own car, they broke down and got the license so the City wouldn’t confiscate his board.
