got fish? looking for a used board.

i have a 6' x 19 1/2" x 2 1/4" Blair swallowtail. it was my first shortboard moving down from a 9' longboard, its in great shape. i dont really wanna sell it but id be willing to part with it for the right price. heres a pic:

 

yeah i didnt think youd be ready to drop down that far yet, you probably need an in between type board first, good luck though theres a lot of people selling stuff for cheap this time of year, check out craigslist

 

Fat retro fish

Spontaniously, last year I bought a fat fish when I was down in Cape Hatteras. (I had 3 boards, a squash, pin, and funboard) Thought I'd get something retro, this is the exact type of board I learned to surf on back in the 70's !!! .

I almost traded it in for one of those new Firewire's. They were going to give me $300 for it (paid 650) at Whalebone in Hatteras but I wanted a tad bit more. Now I'm actually looking at getting into Kiteboarding before I'm to old, that's going to set me back about $2000... ouch, so now I'm selling not only my board, but XBOX, Laptop and whatever else I can find laying around LOL

So the board's a 6'6" Chris Birch glossy with glass on balsa fins. Extremely retro and is a blast up to head high surf... really fun in 2-4 fast beach breaks. Catches and takes off really easy, stable like a funboard but twice as loose. I've grown up surfing all my life, lived in Ca for 15 yrs, Hawaii for 7, Guam and Japan. Surfed all over the Pacific and fact... => you would have a blast on this board, and it's long enough so it'll be easy to learn on.

Don't know if you're still lookin, might be outta your price range too, but if you want me to send you a pic let me know. Peace out !

 

There is a guy selling a 7'6 in the Mid Atlantic Section

 

Birch Makes some really sweet boards I seen a 5'8 twin in Woody's Surf and Skate in N.Wildwood. It was priced for 350 and didnt stay in the rack long
