    Sharpeye Surfboards

    The shop is South Swell Surf Shop in Emerald Isle. They are not closing, they were choosing to clean out their boards. Whalebone is still in business in Nags Head.

    Sharpeye Surfboards

    New to a Sharpeye quiver. I had a round tail SB1 from mid 2000's and have seen the best local surfers up and down the North Carolina Coast regularly on them for the past 30 years, but it was a local shop's liquidation at wholesale prices of their surfboard stock had me walk out with a 6'5...

    Hamish Graham Designs

    Erbbers, I am in NC and mainly get boards second hand. The big names are the wisest and best options due to availability, consistency and resale. A Hamish Graham quiver has popped up for sale. I have memories from the 1990's of Hamish Graham and Tom Curren for some reason. I think I remember...

    Maurice Cole Reverse Vee variants

    I have a 5'11x20x2.65 beefy EEV shorty from Cole. It has his slightly adjusted hard edge from roughly 6" past the fins to the nose. I had a Mermaid of his with the true hard edge nose to tail and I had some nice moments on it but then I would fail on cut back or foam climb as if I have never...

    Greg Griffin RIP

    Had a MC Mermaid with hard edges nose to tail with a single concave running through. I had some great carves but I also had amazing surprises that made me think I had just learn to surf. My present MC EEV has hard edges but not all the way to the nose. It does not have the trade offs but has the...

    Can we talk about Channel Islands?

    The Sashimi in 1999 was a great board for me on the East Coast. First West Coast shaper I had. First CI I had. It was good for me at the time, but haven't ridden one in 20 years.

    US made fins

    I am looking to know which fin companies (big and small) make their fins in the US. I am aware that Futures is a US company and at least the boxes are made in the US; Fins Unlimited and True Ames are US-based companies, but I am not sure about where they are manufacturing their products. And if...

    Fcs vs futures

    I have preferred futures due to the solid base of the fin connected to the board. I also preferred that they were American made. I also prefer the MB2 fin in Futures over all other trifin templates. But I mainly buy used boards off of guys who get customs. One guy only gets fcs2 on his customs...

    Lost 1996 Round Nose Fish?

    Please update on the differences in performance vs. fish qualities of 96 RNF vs. Redux. I have a RNF Redux and I like as twin with trailer and thruster. I like the elevated wing of the RNF. Curious on the difference of the wingless and more narrow tail of the 96. Thanks.

    Hard edge rail full length

    had a Mermaid (6'0) with hard edges tip to tail. The curves of the board and its foil was so beautiful. I wanted so much to love the board. Had some of the best turns and trim lines of my middle aged surfing life on it but then I would completely ruin a more basic turn. It was love/hate. It was...
