Those Von Sols are hot. Wide and thick, just the way I like umm. My 5'7" swallow tail hybrid is my go to when it's stomach+ My 5'8" monster of a grovellier disquette is my favorite in knee high to shoulder. I get ragged on for using this so frequently and in waves that aren't meant for a grovellier, but dude I love this thing. I wouldn't even have gone another size down. 37cl wave catching machine.
Like the Wynn Kanman, would get jiggywit. Wish my manta was a 5'8 instead of 10"; but $250 on Craig's is $250
I have 5 boarts currently but these 3 see 99% of the action. I usually have 2 of 3 boarts with me at all times so that I have options depending on conditions once I get to the beach. I haven't cleaned them off since the end of summer / fall.
5'5" Lib PJ 6'0" Sharpeye SB10 All the other boards i have just sit there. 5'9" Lost Rocket used to get play but not so much as of late since the PJ came into effect.
Go to on a good day from thigh to HH...5'8 x 19.5 x 2.25. Similar shape to a hypto. Full nose, low rocker, pulled in round tail. Single to double concave with vee out the tail. Catches waves on small days but can really open up on bigger days. Easy to whip around. Go to on OH+ days...same board as mentioned above, but bigger. 6'1 x 20 x 2.5. Kept the rails fuller than the 5,8. Besides that it's the same board. Lots of float on it which really helps on those bigger days. Go to days that are thigh-chest days at basically any tide besides dead low. Doesn't like a super steep drop but iv learned that i like it better when it's still got some steepness, although it works great on fat rollers too. Mini sims. 5'2 x 22 x 2.5. Same single to double with vee out the tail. Little flip in last few inches of the nose. Like i said, it likes any wave that's not standing straight up. It can cruise and be mellow or it can rip if you push it. The other 5 boards i have all have very specific purposes and are diffrent. But those three are my "normal" boards that cover any conditions we get here
5'6 Superbrand Fling almost every chest high and under days 5'11 WRV wombat for when the waves are hollow or steep
