First board you ever bought?

6'0" Hotline squashtail thruster

 

8'7" Blue Fun board off of Craigslist for $220

 

6'2 Pearson Arrow.

It was way too thin and it sucked. Sold it ASAP.

 

6'4 Sundancer Twin fin

 

first board was a hand me down 6' 8" town and country, first bought was a perfection from garden city sc.

 

6'2" g wilson fish it's now part of a wall in the children's wing of a hospital in new hanover county

 

6'8" was my first board. I saw it in Vitamin Sea surf shop KDH but my Mom would not get it for me (since I had only ridden a few waves on my cousin's friend's board). She said, I just bought you a new "Morey Boogie" (remember the ones all orange and white) last year lol! Anyway, mom surprised me with it the next week ($75...which was a lot for her to spend on me back then).

It was a CB board (that's all I remember). I have no idea who or where it was shaped because at the time there were only a few local shops. I told my friends it was a "California Board"...CB because it was cool.

Anyone know of a shaper/brand CB from over 30 years ago? It was short lived and eventually saved up enough to buy 5'6" Swallow/Twin from WRV

 

Double up

 

7'2 WRV Fun Shape.

 

70s single fin "Challenger" I bought at a pawn shop for $100. Board was about 7 ft long, which was a longboard to me because I was only about 5 ft/100 lbs.

 

I saved up enough money at my 1st job to buy a 6'4" BAT from Suncoast Surfshop on Treasure Island, FL. Wrong shape for a beginner, I'd love to surf that thing now but it's completely waterlogged from the many holes I put in it trying to shot the Anna Maria Island Pier way back when.

I did my first ding repair on it and continued to "surf" with it for a couple years till I came to the realization that the board just wasn't cutting it.

It barely caught waves after that but when it did it rode like a total dog. I still have it in my closet at home collecting dust, I think about doing something with it at some point, never wanted to let it go since it's my first board.

 

6'0 In the eye, I was 12. it was a fatty 80's style thruster and easy to stand up, hard to duck dive.

100 bux at SS in OC

 

9'0 Walden Magic Model (used) to hang with my daughter who wanted to take up surfing and I got her a new 6'10" Hot Buttered at the same time I bought mine..
She has kind of gotten out of trying to surf and I am by myself now.. I guess I cramped her style??

 

I traded a couch for a 5'2" twin fin from Don of Hawaii. I'm 6'5" 215. My next board was a Secret Spot 7'2". I bought behind Capt Franks in OB of NC for 35 bucks.

 

6'2 Kinetic from Gary in Myrtle Beach, SC
