Minimal Quiver: 4 Boards Max

[waxurDyl]

Like Retodd said, tough to choose only 4 but I’m game as well....
I’ve never had small wave boards as good as my Propers from local shredder and start to finish board builder Andy Prunauer. Since getting small wave boards from Andy I’ve stopped getting any type of fish or grovel boards from anyone else
5’2 EPS/epoxy Cosmo2

5’10 Burch Asymm, this one just feels comfortable and I ride it without ever wishing I was on another board when waves are clean and up to OH. Does what I want without any hiccups. Got waves on it during a trip to Kandui that I won’t forget. Poly/PU

You can’t go wrong with an FCD Huevo. Nothing fancy or attention grabbing but a damn good board with a quality build. If I only had to have ONE board for all conditions and wave sizes I’d be hard pressed to choose something other than my 6’8 XPS/epoxy Huevo

To round out the complete quiver, I’d go with my 9’4 Burch longboard. Not as heavy as my classically built Tylers so it’s easier turning. But with double stringers there is still some of that good weight and glide to it. It’s the best overall longboard I’ve owned

D: what are the full dimensions on that Burch asym?

 

[jkb]

1) GMM2 (grovels)
2) HS Untitled (dd)
3) Burch Picklefork Asym (hpsb)
4) Step-up (still searching......Blackbird and Ghost are on the short list)

Also I agree with Dlyan on the Cosmo from Andy . I have one too but its smaller than my Mabile and since I have no logboard in my 4 a 5-10 mini sim is a better sub

5'4"Mandala ASQ in xtr
5'8" Mandala stubbie, 2+1
6"2" NPJ 2+1
9'4" no name mystery longboard I bought off the used rack at the Malibu Becker shop 15 years ago. Only marking is a weird face on the deck

These 3

Have way more boards but ride these 4 99% of the time:

1. 5'3" Stretch 2win Fish
2. 5'10" Stretch 2Win
3. 6'9" Stretch 2x4
4. 8'0" Stretch Buzz Gun

And if I had to pick one board, my 7'4" midlength works in pretty much all the conditions I ride the other boards in

Same as everyone else it seems.

- fish at mustache height
- stubby shortboarf eye to forehead height
- GH egg at 6’10
- Rusty Blackburd at 6’6

5'3 Stretch Mr Buzz
5'6 Super Fling
6'1 Pyzel Ghost
6'6 FCD F-Rocket

I want to add HPSB, but I always say that and when I get one I rarely ride it.

Is the f-rocket a step up or just a change up board?

This quiver would definitely work for me. FWIW I find true hpsbs have a limited range where I live. Best substitute I’ve found is a slightly shorter pyzel phantom. When it finally gets too big for that, it’s perfect for the ghost.

[Sharkbiscuit]

North Florida desk jockey + 1 week Mex trips, giving up on the 2-3x/year I want more than 6'6":

Gravel - probably local quad, but maybe Bean Bag. But probably local quad
Alt - probably something quad fishy or one of those trying to hide the quad fishy like the Shark or Swordfish
DD shortboard - If I could split the difference between Baby Buggy and Sub Driver...or relax the last local DDSB juuuuust a hair....
Step up - 6'6", 5 boxes, rounded pin, good glassing

If I lived someplace good, the last two entries, then whatever me and the local shaper came up with. Maybe 6'10" and 7'6"?
I've enjoyed having my 6'8" and 6'10", but I have so little experience on those kind of boards and in that kind of surf.

 

[urchined]

5’9” cc fish
6’0” CB Octafish
6’2” HPSB (need a new one). probably custom from Ryan Sakal
6’6” CC nautilus

need spot #5 for sh!t small wave board-currently 7ft flat tracker. I may switch out this for Octafish if the man held me to quiver of 4

Haven't heard about Sakal for awhile. Got my very first custom board from Ed 30 years ago. Oh the memories...

I permanently moved out of the area shortly after getting a board from him when he was in Seal beach. Good to see his son is keeping it going.

Id really need 5 boars cause heading into my 40's without a mid length feels like heading into a porn set without viagra.
