How about chris birch boards
you could buy a kit from Greenlight Surf Supply and make your own board. That's what I plan on doing.
Different boards
6 fin double wing round pin shaped by Todd Sutz 6'5" ,Chris Birch double wing round pin quad 6'6", 6'10" Merrick gen 2 single fin round pin,6'6" Merrick retro quad,Gary Wilson Kingfish quad 7'6", 7'Spindrift round pin,9'6'' round pin by Todd Sutz,5'10" Cheyene Horan style wing-keel board latest revision by Todd Sutz,7'10" Chris Birch mid-range egg,6'1" Merrick gen single fin round pin.Those are what I consider my modern style boards(made in the last 10 years) I also have 27 classic's(60's to 80's) that I ride 1 every month just so I don't forget what I learned on.
you must be a big guy with those dimensions for shortboards.Originally Posted by fourfinguy
No I'm not a big guy,short(5'7'') and I think we called it husky back in the day,plus I just rolled the big 40 too. Heck even when I was in my prime (1979-1990) I never wanted to ride dinky boards like my buddies used to,plus the oldtimers I surfed with with taught me that board size means nothing,that it's mostly in the mind. Yeah launching or tail sliding a 7'4" pulled dovetail single fin is tough( Like stunt driving a dump truck), but the fun learning to do it is what makes it all worth it! I always tell the younger cats that if you're not falling,you ain't learning anything new,its all about having fun anyway.
9'4" Chris Jones, 7"4" islander, 8' Dove, 6'1" Quietflight damien hobgood "the goods", 9' action.
