Looks like you have a latent desire to run a surf shop.

True that!
In the back big space with couches, surf movies on, kegerator with only the finest ales, some sort of foods
I grew up surfing in South Florida, Palm Beach County and in maybe 9th grade (~1982) picked up The Fox Wave Weapon, think it's 5'6", used it all through high school, with a couple of other Florida brands, really wish I still had my Quiet Flight, so 80's!
The Wave Weapon was shaped by Greg Loehr, who according to some articles was an early innovator in trying to find stronger materials for surfboards, I think he may have been using Epoxy resin at the time. Rusty mentions him in this article from "TheInertia"
Rusty Preisendorfer Explains Why Your Surfboard Shouldn't Be Bulletproof
Rusty Preisendorfer says that new surfboards need to get broken in. If a board doesn’t, chances are it doesn’t flex. And that would not be good.

-it's a tri-fin, with the center fin being adjustable; seems frozen in place though.
-I've just somehow managed to hang onto the board, almost lost it, leaving it at a buddies house, but reclaimed it and got it fixed up.
The Local Motion, tri-fin glassed on fins, got that my senior year in high school for $500, remember that clearly as my grandpa gave me $500 for Xmas, and blew it all the next day and went surfing with it that afternoon!
An early YOLO man in retrospect.
It's 6'2" and have kept that one pretty clean, fin broke off on a trip to Costa Rica back in 1995, but had it glassed back on. Rode it maybe 8 - 10 years ago, felt great, still seems strong enough to use.
-I think the shaper just has a # vs. a name, I guess I could probably research it.
Happy to add more pics.
Cleaning up some of the boards this weekend, finally gonna do the pool quiver shot before I die, or before California makes us drain the pools. Just was amazed as I checked out my 11 year old Stu Kenson pleasure pig looking in pristine condition 11 years and 25,000 waves later.
the opposite end of the spectrum is this 1960s longboard from Lakewood New Jersey. Weighs more than the rest of the quiver.
I well bring the beers
What kind of fin do you use for your serena pocket rocket? I picked up a used 7'0" that came with a 7 3/4 a flex fin but I'm not sure if that's the best option
I've only used the one Marc put in it. RFC Flexfin Andrieni 7 3/4
Great board; I wish I had one at 7'2.
I emailed Marc and he got back to me right away and said the 7 3/4 should work well in my board. Can't wait for some bigger clean waves to try the board out
Love the inflatable for when you wish your fourth gear flyer would stay in first gear.
damn what did that run you there and back?
The O'Neill boards are Timmys. I have the 2 on the left. The rest are the groms and Timmy's lady.
I would never ride a Lost!
