Show us your quiver 2016.

[Retropete]

How many of you guys have boards you've never ridden? I have 5

The red 8'er I've just taken for a grovel paddle to get a feel for how it paddles. It's just for once a year (or three) kind of swells.
The carbon 6'9" dvs I haven't surfed yet but I'm waiting for a good solid beachbreak day when I have a lot of waves to duckdive and a light crowd since its a pretty thin board for me.
Had to buy it though. It discovered it in the used racks at a Gold coast surf shop that had stacks of pu boards in very ordinary condition for around the same bargain basement price.
I just couldn't leave it there to be maybe sold to some newbie backpackers from Northern Europe to have a go pro mounted on its finely chiselled nose. Then to be disgraced by being seen in lineups paddled around by the new owners like a sea turtle (arms and legs splayed out to the sides) and only ridden in the whitewater as they poo man squatted straight towards shore on every wave.
To ad insult to injury the wombats would leave the board bottom up to the harsh Qld sun with its beautiful black carbon fibre to bake on the sand as they frolicked around playing handball and volleyball in their speedos.
No....this is not to be its fate.
This board will come out on special days and be ridden in anger. Fast breaking, critical takeoffs and deep bottom turns into vicious carving arcs off the top as it slices its blade-like rails through green walls.
Hah, or maybe I'll just poo stance it straight into the shore.

None.
But the Black Beauty I bought from Noel Robinson 7+ years ago has only seen
action once.
I'm not normally superstitious, but it rarely sees daylight.

Santacruzin's quiver is siiiick! I'm probably going to get a Hovercraft for summer surf.

 

[Colin]

I have a few given to me but don't feel like I earned. A couple others are old beaters that I got for sentimental purposes. Project boards for when I REALLY feel like doing some ding repair. But I do have them... And have never ridden them. That trips me out.

 

[Northern_Shores]

since northern shores is posting his junk

If I really did, I would have you all hot and bothered.

A pro friend, almost made CT, told me to take your step ups out on days that are maybe just a few feet overhead so you can get used to them before you actually have to use them. He said the last thing you want is to be out on a double/triple overhead day on a board you hardly use. I asked him why he was riding a 6'10 on a four foot day at Haleiwa.

 

[santacruzin]

Racer thats exactly what I did with my 6'7" from GG

I had been riding all sub 6' boards, so I took the GG out on a shoulder high for first session.
I am sure I looked like one of the swamis kooks taking out a big board on a small day but it made sense to me!


I dont plan on triple OH anything anytime soon tho! DOH is my limit.

 

[flyinraptr]

My New Year's resolution was not to buy any new boards this year. After 30 days - i'm holding up but this thread is not helping one bit!!

 

[shredsickgnar]

In the last 6 months:

Ride 60% 5'8'' GH Pill
Ride 2% 5''8'' Self Shape Quad, Probably going to give to away to a friend.
Waiting for glasser 5'10'' Self Shape Quad Fish
Ride 15% 6'2'' GH Twin Fish
Ride 2% 6'2'' GH Twin Fish "copy" Self shape
Ride 15% 6'3'' CI Semi Pro
Ride 3% 6'4'' Campbell Bros Pod
Ride 2% 7'2'' Almond Joy
Ride 1% 9'?"" Velzy Pig (going on the wall soon)

The Pill is far and away the star of the show. It could be a legit one board quiver for me if I didn't surf when its DOH. My goal is to not buy any more boards this year.

All I seem to be riding lately is the Bonzer. I been thinking about some kind of step up for a little extra paddle power in bigger surf. In the end I'm the one that needs more paddle power
