Hows your quiver lookin

^^^ lmao

 

It's people like you pier that keeps the world from becoming a better place...

 

That's an exceptional stack of foam there Frosty. Good on ya dude

 

With 4 surfers in my house I could stock a small surf shop. 32 or 33 boards in my house ranging from 4'10 grom sized boards to my own daily driver short boards in the 6'6 range, a few vintage 80s shortboards, 3 90s shortboards, a vintage 7'6 Con MiniPin, a vintage 9'6 Ribble log, a 9'6 Austin SoulGlide, a couple of my own longboards and a couple more blanks waiting to be shaped and glassed.

Just a sample of what's along one wall and not counting what's hanging from the ceiling and in other corners 4 or 5 deep.

 

If you can, post a picture of the Con MiniPin; I actually, when young, used to surf on their "team" in PR.

 

How I found it at an estate auction in the middle of nowhere.



After Cleanup.





The most impressive part is the massive fin that somehow survived that auction without a scratch. I'm told that not many of these original fins survived because they would break easily in the shorebreak and that the fin alone is worth far more than I paid for the board. You can buy reproductions of these but this one is a survivor.

 

That Con is a major score.

Your LB collection looks unreal.

Hold onto that Austin and don't let go

 

Nice--thanks for posting. The olde CC Rider days of Con Surfboards......
I had 3 boards of theirs--an Ugly, a Steve Bigler model, and one they made custom for me.
All pre-1968 for my boards.

That one is a Claude Codgens board.

 

gayyyye

Missing a 8'6 from that. Sounding surf and ricky carol did most the work

 

I used to have a indoor hammock. It was awesome. Then one day I dropped some acid. Laid down in hammock, fell out of hammock, then shortly after my trip took a turn for the worse. One and only bad trip I ever had.

I don't own a indoor hammock anymore. Or any Russian nesting dolls. Those things freak me out

 

Do you have a pic of the topside?

 

This one was a basket case when I got it. The nose had been snapped off and repaired previously, the tail had been badly smashed and the foam core fins had cracked. I did the best i could with the repais taking extra care not to mess up the classic 80s stickers all over the bottom.

 

CJSurf, I have a board with almost the same shape down to the double winger baby swallow tail, maybe a little less nose. I left it out of my quiver shot cuz I gave it to my son. Here's a shot of it from back in the day, sometime in the 80s. I'm the DB on the right in the white hat. I still own that Weber Performer too, but haven't ridden it in 20 years, so it's not in the quiver propere.

 

Belly shirt lmao

 

I know, but it was the 80s. Plus it was August at Cape Point campground in Cape Hatteras, no escape from the heat.

 

There's no justification hahahaha I kid I kid

 

Every time I see that pic, it makes me laugh. I thought I'd give the rest of SI the opportunity to laugh at me!

 

Almost sold the Austin last summer but got cold feet. Part of me wants to sell it and make a new board to replace it. Its more of a wall hanger than anything. I rarely ride it and it barely has a scratch on it. Its not a very practical board for me since its so heavy that its almost impossible to ride my bike carrying and not a fan of having it on the bicycle rack in fear I would do something stupid and damage it.

 

All good dude, it's a good thing to be able to laugh at yourself, love the car too, brings back memories

 

That's my buddy's car. I can't believe those three boards made it from South Jersey to OBX and back using soft racks! The little boards were inside, under the hatchback.
