One Shaper Quiver

[MrSteve]

Sometimes I feel like selling all my boards (20ish) and getting 4-5 boards from one shaper to cover all my bases... these are the dumb things that run through my head.

So which shaper and which models?
Im thinking Stretch: 2win Fish, Buzzsaw, some Buzz model (below the Buzzsaw), 2win

I"ve definitely thought about doing a full refresh from Stamps: Log, Banjo Fish, GX, V-12, indo fish.

Plenty of overlap in range but sometimes I want to be thrusty, sometimes I want to highline a fish.

I'm working towards this right now with Stretch, I think it's 100% easier to switch between boards made by the same shaper. There will always be other random boards in the mix but I want to have the "essentials" covered.

Now I have:

5'2" 2win fish - daily driver
5'10" thing - daily driver but not for me or our waves, selling
6'1" 2x4 - travel and barrel board
6'9" 2x4 - outer bar step up
8'0" buzz gun - proper outer bar (best big board ever)

I have a 5'10" 2win on order and I heard they have been doing some step-up twins in the 6'8" range...

Stamps: bento box, fuse box, wtf (double bump, diamond tail) trying to get some width outta that tail.
Had a log but sold it cause I never used the beast

You will get what like by sticking with the same shaper if he knows what he's doing.

Start by ordering a decent waves board.

If you like it, he should know what you like from feedback.

Then order a few more - small wave, stepup, daily driver, etc.

Stamps
Fish (alt daily driver)
Fuse box ( the daily driver )
Giggle box ( round tail for good waves)

All future fin boxes and have a nice collection of fiberglass fins

This is a third or so of my quiver but a nice working three covering waves from knee high to 3 feet overhead

Fuse, GX, Scarecrow.

Crow still hasn't been ridden thanks to swells o lacking and virus of corona

I did the Stamps quiver for a few years. It was great. It was probably better for my surfing consistency. Despite him making so many different types of boards they all feel like a Stamps, if that makes any sense.

I like trying new boards too much though. My quiver is all over the place now but I'm not mad about it.

I'm an all Stretch guy too.

I've got one to many buzzsaw's at the moment, once I sell one, and life gets back to normal, I'm looking at a 2winfish.

this is a fun thought experiment. my quiver is all over the place too but I've had the most customs from a local shaper
these aren't all mine, just examples of what I'd get

Christenson
Chris Craft
Dead Sled
Fish
Surfer Rosa
Nautilus

Edit: This is a dream quiver, not my real quiver. I have the nautilus. Sorry, I thought that was the point of the post.

VaB - hows that Nautilus go?

 

[jamesgang]

This is my deal. All Jeff Bushman shapes, from 6'4" to 10'0" plus a 9'0" longboard. That, a pair of Da Fins, and a Bark 12' stock paddleboard and I am always in the water, no matter what.

It's so much easier to ditch the 6'4" and grab a 6'9" or a 7'2" when they FEEL like the same board.

 

[oneula]

I have and have had several shaper quivers
I like to stick with a shaper once I commit
George Ku, Dave Parmenter, Surflights, Geminis, Terry Chung, Greg Griffin, Al Merrick, Peter Poppler

Here's some shots, some I no longer have, some have never been ridden

Yeah, and the Surfer Rosa?
