How deep is your quiver?

3 boards, two short but ones a quad and then a step up... im looking to get a pod or rocket but i dont feel like buying a brand new board right now

 

Murphy's law, works every time

Ive only had 1 "magic board" that lasted any length of time, not sure why it did, but it lasted me many years, where usually a "magic board" will last me less than a year.
I have a
5'8 Klugel fish- waist to headhead
5'10 BAT hybrid fish- good for anything up to 1' overhead too "skatey" after
6.0 BAT sunfish (basically a rocketfish shape with a few performance tweeks)- good for anything we get in FL
6.2 M4 thumbtail- for when we get the rare big h-cane swells that arent mushy

 

i'm down to ten.
three are for sale,but three more are ordered for april

 

2 boards deep, 6'3 JS combat, and 5'8 CI Pod

 

I've got a few boards, but mainly use two of them:

5'11" WRV quad fin J. Fernandez
6'0" Chemistry high performance tri-fin

The other boards are either old, broken, or just played out... I do have this one board that some girl won at a bar and gave to me. It's a donkey but I would like to do something with it. Thinking of getting some art put on it and hanging it in my living room... It's a Glenn Klugel (Kugel); anyone ever heard of this shaper?

 

What im riding now...

5'10 custom addict surfboard, thumb tail
5'11 plus one squash
5'11 plus one rounded pin
6'0 plus one squash
6'0 plus one swallow
6'2 plus one squash
6'5 addict surfboard, rounded pin tail
7'2 plus one mini-gun, pintail
8'8 southcoast surfshop longboard thing.

I've built that collection up over the past 4 years, and this quiver gets me through ANY conditions that come through San Diego. from, ankle high to TOH. As long as they all hold up, i won't need any boards for a while.

Still own, but don't ride.
a 6'0 Fish from NY i think. Its a company called "NA" (Anyone know about this company)? Its a thruster, super thick. Fun as hell on the summer reefs, but its super slow now and I dont ride it.

a 6'3 Peter Benjamin Channel bottom. Old late 80s board. Fun and thick. Never ride it.

 

2 shortboards
1 fish
presently waiting on a 5'9' Rocket (can't freaking wait!)

 

In order of wave size:
6'0" x 20 1/2" x 2 1/2" WRV Clark quad fish
6'1" x 19 1/4" x 2 3/8" WRV Yinger battail quad
6'2" x 18 3/4" x 2 3/8" WRV Moore rounded squash thruster
6'3" x 18 7/8" x 2 3/8" WRV Mulhern swallowtail thruster
6'6" x 18 1/4" x 2 3/8" WRV Redman pintail mini-gun

No real commitment to WRV, but my buddy is one of their board builders/East Coast rep. Good guy to have grown up with...

 

5'10" HSD quad fish (found this used in a shop all banged up...fixed it up & it turned out to be a really good board)

5'10" rusty dwart (despite all the options, i like this best as a twin w/ trailer set up. goes really fast in fat, kinda mushy surf)

5'10" wynn stubby bonzer (pretty much has been my go-to board for the past 2 years)

6'0" wynn bonzer mini egg (coming soon)
6'2"wynn bonzer hp shortboard (coming soon)

6'4"wynn single fin egg (very fun high-volume board...great for the winter b/c it still floats well w/ all the rubber on)

6'4" bing bonzer 3 (my first bonzer...mostly a wall hanger now)

6'6" wynn bonzer step-up pintail (a modified black beauty template that i really love...just wish i had a reason to use it more often. its been ridden more in foreign countries than it has here at home)

9'6" wynn si si slider (heavy classic style log)

 

1 short
1 fun shape
1 long
1 body

 

If your thinking about a Bing, I bought a 9'6" Bing Trimulux model about a year and a half ago from Heritage. It's kind of like your do-it-all traditional single fin. Needless to say the glide is unreal. I didn't know till I checked the Bing website that they pictured my board for the description of the model which Heritage confirmed to me. I was just in there this past month and they hay a 9'4" Trimulux with clear coke bottle blue resin tint, it just needs a $150 for a layaway and a good home. http://www.bingsurf.com/surfboards_trimulux
Otherwise I'll be a eight boards, about ready to finally order a 6'2" Rich Pavel Speedialer
from Surfers Supplies.

 

im rocking 3 boards. a 6'1" jimmy keith high performance shortboard with parabolic rails. then a 6'1" al merrick flyer epoxy. and finally a 7'6" cos funboard that is as thick as a log but really fun on the small days.

 

two thrusters, one is a JS Combat, the other Chemistry Dagger,
one hybrid small wave board, Chemistry Boombastik
one fish that has been collecting dust for 3 years
have a new thruster on the way

 

Yeah I know a cpl guys who ride for Bing and I was check out there boards and I really like them I was hoping to have Wynn Shape my next board but if he has a big list of people waitng I might just pay a little extra and buy a Bing. I am gonna looka at them again this weekend and make my decision . They are what I am use to riding more. 9'6 is what length I usely stick to

 

5'6" old school fish
5'10" firewire quadraflex
6'1" webber ? -with extra length and rocker for when it's mackin
10'ish single fin waterlogged monster from the 60's

 

2 shortboards
1 fish
a step up
gun
tow board

 

3 deep...6'3 Channel Islands Flyer I use for the larger stuff 6' quad-fin Firewire Quadraflex I just got that I've only used a few times, great for small-a few feet overhead. Then 7'2 funshape I will use for the ankle slappers in the summer

 

6'2" Greenroom Whiskey Fish. Thick and wide, swallow tail. Local shape, my go to shortboard for almost any day, fat and wide to get going on mushy little waves. Amazing board. A bit too long though.

6'5" Hickman squash tail. I ride this board when the waves start tipping head high, when I need something with a bit more length. Real old so I don't feel bad about banging it around or anything. This is the board my dad taught me to surf on. It used to be his.

7'2" Walden Mini Magic model. A longboard shape/style board minus about three feet. I got this several years ago and my surfing improved exponentially because it enabled me to catch waves on my own. I still ride it occasionally. Easy to walk on.

7'6" Takayama Egg. A fun mid-range board. Kind of a weird shape, and egg with a nice pintail. Tracks well when the waves are bigger, catches and turns easy when it's small. Fun with sidebites or as a singlefin.

9'6" Alison high-performance longboard. This is the board that I was introduced to longboarding on. Not great for walking, but a very forgiving transition and a wave catching machine. I've had more fun sessions on this board than any other listed here.

9'8" Hobie. Shaped in the early 60's. Picked it up relatively cheap and fixed it up. Big, wide, thick, heavy, truly a classic log. Big D-fin made of redwood. Ten times harder to ride than any other board, but ten times more rewarding as well. This is my favorite board of all.

So I have a quiver of 6.

 

Definitely check out the Heritage Shop in OC. The have a great selection of Bings. They even have a new model out that I did not see on Bings website called The 4 Speed.
