Height, weight, ride?

55 y/o 6'1 175...9'2 singlefin, 5'10 quad groveler and just got a custom 6'6 Egg quad +1 full size center so I can ride it as a quad, thruster or Singlefin. spent 6 hours baptizing it yesterday.

 

6'2, 225ish.

for small days - bought the 6'2, 21 1/8, 2 9/16 off the rack of this board for 250 and its been a ton of fun, using the MR twin/trailer fin set with it and it flies. http://www.modex-hawaii.com/modex-turbo-surfboard-2-deep-fish-tail-shortboard.html

regular shortboard i ride 6'7 simon anderson mollusc 20 1/2, 2 5/8, and in the market for longboard.

I left a few bigger boards in HI before moving east. couldn't let go of this 7'6 minami quad with a pulled in swallow tail thats 19 5/8 wide 2 3/4 thick, keeping it for trips and hoping a day comes for me to take it out this winter. not sure about the volume of each of these, but excited to be looking for something new/local for a regular shortboard around 6'6 and a step up in the 6'10 range soon.

 

6'2 180-200

I have

6-oh V2 Stub quad/tri latest and greatest for me.

6-oh dwart copy yellow/red very bright.....have you seen me?

5'11 AJW that is out to pasture

7ft? foam board

6'3 CI Fred Rubble...used it for like a month before it got a ton of dings and pressure craters....haven't used it much because the glass job sucks so much.





Will take donation boards


24 years former athlete now beer bellied.

 

Couldn't agree more. I used to always ride a 6'-2 but recently moved to a 5'-10 V3 Rocket (I am 6' 190lb). My surfing now has reached the level I've always strived for on a more consistent basis.

 

6'0" 215 lbs
6/10 addvance 4 mush
6/10 unibrow for juice
both by f/w
rarely ride others.....used to; then stopped....

 

6'0" 180 lbs

For chest high and under I ride a 6'0" WRV SoleFish by Fernandez.
For bigger than that I ride a 6'2" WRV Drone by Mulhern.

Nope! Female

 

5'7"
130 lbs
5'9" board, could easily go shorter.

 

are you 12

or do you have manorexia?

 

nope, i'm just small.

 

I'm 5'10, 42 years old and weigh 175lbs. The boards I ride most (only because I live on the eastcoast) are a 5'4 Sweet potato and a 5'7 Yearwood twin fin. When there's a little push I'll ride either my 5'8 Potatonator or 5'8 JS Dyno. I've got a 5'9 LOST V2 I love in really good waves and on the very rare occasion I'll ride a 6'4 Rusty pintail. I actually have a quiver now that I'm satisfied with but if there was a board that I couldn't live without it would be the old school twin fin. They're so fun in all types of waves.

 

6'1'' 170lbs. Taut body of a pre-teen Swedish boy.

5'9'' twin fin, for knee to chest high, any surface conditions
6'3'' JS FatFish 2, Roundtail thruster, for chest high to overhead
9'6'' Eavey Scrambler, for knee to waist high glass.

Tend to use the twin fin the most, because it is always fun, the only issue is duck-diving because it has a lot of volume, so i break out the roundtail when it gets heavy.

 

5-10, 188 lbs. Age 59.
Old Tim Nolte 8 ft round pintail, 21 3/4" x 2 7/8". 2+1 glassed-on fins. Thins out quite a bit at nose and tail. Duck dive-able.

Still have an old 8-4 ft Gnaraloo Fatty that I originally bought used two years ago from a local surf shop for my boys and I to learn on. Still take it out just to paddle or catch those small, summer VB waves. The thing is beat to hell, ugly, heavy, and practically indestructible.

 

6'2" 230 I ride these the most out of the 8 boards I own:

6'4" Rusty piranha
6'0" egg
9'6" log

 

6'2" 190-200lbs
gained some weight over the past year and I'm fine with it. Just got realistic about being a bigger dude thats not getting any younger and based my quiver off of that (read: substantially more volume than I've ridden all of my life). Been surfing the same if not better than ever.

6'2" Roberts WD2 36.8L pretty magic but probably over-volumed.

6'4" Lost Stealth 36.2L only ridden a handful of times or so and haven't clicked with it yet. Scored a couple good days when I first got it and felt like I was going to love it but haven't been as of late.

6'8" Simon Anderson XFC 36-ishL bought it on a whim and kinda like it. Too long though. Rode it on an overhead day a couple of weeks ago and had a hard time getting under the lip the way I could on a normal shortboard. It likes to be bottom turned rather than jammed into the face.

There's also currently 2 longboards, a midlength, and a 5'10" 80's quad that aren't allowed in the house. And there might be a 6'3" Merrick Gravy outside too, unless my buddy still has it from yesterday. A mutual friend got it with a big delam and ended up reglassing the entire deck. He did a nice job but it weighs a ton and is absolutely terrible.

 

6'6" 250
I ride a 6'4" x 22 3/4 x 3 1/4 Simmons
7'0" x 22 1/2 x 2 5/8 thruster
10'2" single fin longboard
