Why, did you forget how to surf? All kidding aside I won a couple of 3A surfing contests in Santa Cruz in the early 1980’s. So I know the cold and the kelp. If I lived there now I would be riding a 9 foot stand-up board. High, dry and hated by all the hypothermia addled grovelers.

Many moons ago, Friend #1 bought a board from West Cliff Surfboards. (Are they still around? Anyone know the people behind the label?)

It was, I don't know, a big wave longboard? Somewhat rounded pin-tail, somewhat egg-shaped in the nose, a little displacement hull in the first quarter of the board, and flat out the back, didn't seem too thick and was foiled out nicely. Big glassed in center fin.

I remember seeing him catch stacks of waves in all manner of surf, and maybe the only time it seemed not to work was in the strong offshore days or quick breaking small stuff.

He may still have it in the rafters. He put it up there after (so) many repairs couldn't stop the delamination.

If I went the longboard route, I'd like to try out that planeshape, and have adjustable centerfin.

Nope. I'm sure those guys are having a blast and you liked shaping those. Doesn't mean I have to like them.

Yes just because laird can ride the worlds biggest crutch with a oar and still make it look unstylish doesn't mean I have to like them:bricks:
