I have a 6' 4" Boneyard shortboard, the dimensions are 6 4 x 19 3/8 x 2 1/4 single concave. I was just curious if these dimensions are speed oriented, maneuverable, etc(p.s. its a thruster with squash tail). Its high density foam with 6x6x6 glassing. any idea how this board is made to ride?!!!! Thanks
So you buy the board first, then ask how it performs? Sounds like a big man's short board or some kind of step up (although you don't usually see squash tails on a step-up). Did you check their website? http://boneyardsurfboards.com/page3.php
Sounds like a good board for typical NJ waves at over 19" wide and a single (?) concave. Kinda on the wide side for a big wave board... maybe more of a big guy board? What model is it? It's glassed like a tank. EPS? How heavy is it?
I got it this summer for dirt cheap because i knew the guy who was selling it very well, and i needed a shortboard cause i snapped my old one. I rode it all fall and up till now in winter waves when we've had them- its been great for grabbing rail and getting little barrels, i havent taken it out in anything over 6-7 foot. It doesnt seem to be extremely maneuverable but its pretty fast down the line and is good on steep waves.
Don't listen to the "dudes," Ruminator... what you don't have in brains, you make up for in ba11s. Go with a "mod fish" type fish design. Most retro fishes don't work well in steep, head high dumping local beachbreaks... Something with a bit more rocker, a pulled in tail, and a mini-swallow.
OK, I'll play nice. Jim--ride as many different boards as possible, don't get hung up on major shape names, brands, etc....
