Quiver Shots - Post 'em up!

How was the rocker on your old Hess? I got a 5'8" from Danny a few years back, and the rocker is pretty flat. Tried surfing this thing on and off for years now and have never got the right feel for it. Turns always felt stiff and sluggish, and I'd bog the rail/sink the nose. Rode it as a quad for the longest time, and switched to a twin + trailer and it finally loosened up a bit, but wondering if I got a one off or if I'm just surfing it wrong.
Boredom got the best of me and decided to take pics of my working quiver. Pretty fresh re-do since I dropped some weight. The twin is still in my big boy dims
Top to bottom, left to right:
5'10 20 2.56 32 L Stamps Flare.Favorite board at the moment
6'1" 19 3/4 2.56 Mitsven Roundtail. I call it the nugget. Great for chest to 2 feet overhead CA surf.
6'4" 19 3/4 2 5/8 Mitsven Stap. Incredible so far
5'11" 20.5 2.56 34 L Stamps Spark Plug. Outline and rocker are insane.
5'9" 21 1/8 2.6 36L Album Balance in Dank Farts. Made for beach break super groveling. Construction is top tier.
5'8" 21 1/4 2.56 Mitsven winged rountail simmons. Speed of a simmons but it turns. Love this thing.
This quiver works insane for me.

Insane quiver especially the variety of flat pads
Incredible quiver my bru.
I just cannot use FCs traction pads on boards with futures boxes. My mind plays those tricks on me.
That thing does look pretty flat. My old 6'0 was a little flatter and wider than this new one. Both boards like some juice. In small or soft surf (basically any wave that requires me to pump a lot to generate speed) , it feels sluggish, though not stiff. Once it gets a proper wall, it's fast, super drivey, and turns like a go-kart. I like mine in shoulder-high to overhead OBSF. Also had some good sessions on a long-period S swell at Pleasure Point. Mostly run it as a quad, though I like the twin + trailer in waves with a tight pocket.
This is a design I clicked with instantly. Here's an example of how it turns on a good wave:

Leash string game on point
Buckets! I do feel the board is sluggish when riding it in weak surf, and kinda sucks at generating its own speed. As a quad fish, I honestly expected it to go better in the weak stuff, especially since Danny said he rides this shape in waist high. I gotta give it another shot in bigger surf. I've had some decent luck with it at Scott's, but that take off can get pretty heavy, and end up grabbing a step up. Moved to SoCal though, and rarely get a chance to surf anything sizeable.
looks like a slow transition to pomade and skinny jeans...
Lots of turnover this past year as I’ve finally gotten rid of baors I didn’t ride much or were too short for me to paddle around anymore. Here’s the latest additions from 22-23. Stocked.
