4 board quiver is what I'm carrying right now, partly because that's what I can get inside my car.
6'0 simmons-ish flat, square thing from Dale Walker. This one is my favorite board ever. It's my longboard. Weirdest looking, hardest to figure out, fun versatile board. You have to move around a lot and always be in just the right place on it, but once you dial your steps in...I've ridden this board from zero feet to pushing double overhead and it is a rocket ship with no regard for wave height. Fin changes make it wildly different, switching up twins and singles. It doesn't like hollow waves at all, square peg round hole, so I also have:
5'11 chilli hot knife. Kinda thick and wide, but not chunky. Probably my favorite board ever. The curves are perfect. Basic high(who am I kidding...mid, at best, with me on it) performance shortboard, but it is so intuitive. It goes where you want it to go, like you're riding the wave, never fighting the board. Good at any size up to overhead, but needs a wave to be a wave, have a little push to work with.
5'10 chilli rarest bird. My inch shorter step-up. I think this is my favorite board ever. Crazy fast, somehow both stable and loose. Needs more power to get working, handles as hollow of waves as I've found. Not the paddler I thought it would be, but if you can pull off the fall into waves style, it handles any face. I can't surf well enough to make the most of it, sometimes I kick out of waves and I can feel the board being disappointed in me.
is that all you're going to do on me...I'm sad now...sorry surfboard, I'm trying. let's look for barrels together, it'll be ok.
6'8 Rusty Blackbird. I'm still trying to not judge this board harshly. It hasn't been in the waves it was meant for. But it just... doesn't move the way I hoped it would. It paddles ok. Very stable when taking off, which my other boards are not, that's nice. The V bottom near the nose...maybe it's doing something. I can't really see it. Bottom turns feel good, but look what turning it off the top turned me into:
And then there's what happened when I left it on my lawn, which used to look like a pebble beach green, but after just one night now looks like this:
Not going to jump to conclusions before I get it into some juice, but so far it isn't my favorite board ever.
