Minimal Quiver: 4 Boards Max

[silentbutdeadly]

Would love to give that 6'4 a go!

looks so fun

5'7 Manta- My OG... stringerless poly blank glassed Hydroflex. Dented to all hell but holding up superbly. Never lets me down unless I misjudged buoy and its bombing.

6'0 Album Twinsman RT- Had some stellar sessions, some not so stellar on it. Archer not arrow.
I think I'll grow into it but at 50 years old, my confidence is waning.

6'4 Gibbons Sharkegg - Fun versatile easy board to surf. Very forgiving.

6'10 Album Townsend. My goto board at the moment. Always leave the water with a smile.
Wave catching machine and smoothes out my crappy shortboard style.

I have a 5'10 Hayden Loot but have only surfed it twice. Not sure about it yet.
The lowest volume of the bunch and I'm realizing I'm not getting any better or younger.

could probably get rid of Twinsman and Loot and be fine. I'm not ready to give up yet. Maybe soon though.

the two parmies worth more than the truck now

you'd think but nah. other than makaha machines and big guns, parmys only get lost prices on the used market

Anyone else think Parmenter makes rails weird?

 

[bluengreen]

Haha. The ones I've seen have been bizarrely thick 70s style downrailers.

Yes but they work.

My buddy has a 7-6 parmy with the kinda 80s flat deck. The rails themselves are definitely different from a modern board but the whole overall package looks and feels pretty good and it appears to work well for my friend.

A little too well sometimes, the fakka taking all my waves!

a lot of potential energy stored in these rails

2.7" 7-2 widowmaker

I was just in Aqua. They had some Linden guns that had flat decks and square rails like that. My Hess is similar. All have low apex.

My friend had custom 7'1" and 7'3" DP widow maker loaned me 7'3" and man that board was fast and was like hot knife/buttery carves

Yep that's what I remember! Can't remember any of my Lindens having rails like that, but flatter decks yes. I think Chilli's rails are like a mellowed out version of this style.

Rhode Island.

Board is a Gem.
Heavy glassed, beautiful resin work, and just shreds.
Low boy keel twins
FCS compressor quads
and my favorite and final set up- Twinzer with FU Twinzer set- Jobson template.
This changed hands quite a few times but won't ever again.

I see a few Austin logs up here and they hold court too.
THE Most beautiful boards for sure.

4 seems excessive for mini-mals if you ask me, but these are what I'm going with
