I picked up a used 10' Harbour Nineteen and I love it. The double volan glass gives it that extra speed to make sections quickly and the initial turns are quick and forgiving. Picked up a used Revover for my kid. Rich H. takes a rider's weight into consideration for his boards, and this makes sense to me. Anyone else?
I Have ridden a few of them and I liked them . They have a Nice classic feel which I am into . Here is a link to there site it has a the info needed for every board they make even the Revolver http://www.harboursurfboards.com/surfboards.asp
7'2"spherical revolver with the neat funky harbour fin,a 1969 shortboard design,egg-ish mid-length totally hot stick,AWOO! i'd disregard that size chart,though,as they're considering california,long waves,pointbreaks,longboard breaks,not what we surf around here.
My cousin had The Banana Model a LONG time ago. I used it when he wasn't. Back then I was about 50 pounds lighter and it was my favorite ride. Somebody stole it right in front of his house. I'd like to get one someday if they still make it.
Harbour's San O The san O would have been my first choice, but the price is steep for new anything. I got a quote from Harbour last year for that model: up to 8'11"=$820 9'-9'6"= $845 9'7"-10'= $870 10'1"-10'6"= $1075 10'7"-11'= $1100 That's w/o color. I think used is a good way to go and try new boards.
That price is actually lower than most other companies for the same level of product. If you can get a used board in near mint condition for a few hundred less I would a good buy . If you are unsure about buying a Harbour you might wanna check out Bing's Site as well . For a 10 long board you can use a 10 to 11 inch fin . I flex drive fin will give you a very responsive turning while the wide base will give you the stabilty to walking the board and noseriding and has nice drive to get you down the line . this fin is a good all around fin. Your you can go the route of a 11 inch Pivot Fin which is a great fin for noseriding and smooth gliding turns. Pivot fin also has good drive but wave size is a factor It really depends on you taste and style of surfing. I have a bunch of fins and I experiment with them in all my boards
Fins I like the idea of trying out the different fins. I've been scoping out the Bings in OC for a while. Thanks for the scoop!
Yeah I am really happy with both of mine . If your ever in OC let me know I'll let you try my NoseRider 2 out if you want
