5'2" Stamps Indo Fish (ride 90% of the time waves are under head-high)
5'8" Stretch Buzzsaw (only good when it's steep and dumpy, but awesome then. always quad)
5'9" Tomo MPH Hatchet Twin (never gets ridden :()
6'0" Stretch 2x4 (the bomb for ~OH outside bar or inside bar)
6'2" Island Designs? 6-channel twin fin ($75 CL special, crazy beak nose. ride when I want something weird)
6'6" Stretch "2x4" (anything around head - head.5 on outer bar, great board)
7'6" Brewer (1.5x OH, don't ride because I don't want to break it)
8'0' Buzz Gun (not pictured, the bomb)
How do you like that indo fish? Good groveler? Been on my radar for awhile
I love the board -- bought it from a Skrillex lookalike on CL for $175 in almost-new condition. Really opened my mind to the different lines a fish can draw and the ability to surf one across a wide range of conditions. Ride as my daily driver and it makes me confident I'll have fun pretty much no matter what. Got it into some OH outer bar surf here for kicks and it went surprisingly well. Really want to ride it in some true point surf.

With that said, it's definitely not a true groveller. Goes okay in the smaller waves we get here but it doesn't enable thrashing -- I usually just stand and cruise.

whats the first yellow stretch?
5'2" Super Buzz -- didn't include because I sold it. I kinda drank the kool-aid on the super buzz thing and it was a sick board, but not for conditions up here. Too much paddling, flat faces, and generally poopy waves. If i surfed cleaner waves with push all the time (a la reefs) I would have one in the quiver for sure. Many frustrating sessions on that thing but a couple turns I did in the right conditions I still remember.

West of the Atlantic. East of the ICW.
Between myself and two boys there are 34 boards in our house ranging from 4'10 to 9'8 and just about every size in between. I need to have a yard sale......haven't parted with a board in ages so the collection just keeps growing. My boys have outgrown the boards under 5'4 but how do you get rid of the boards they rode when they were first starting out??? I'm such a pack rat.

No!

9ft softop that my brother in law stole from me

10ft Schaper bonga model. Loan it out. Beat but a good rider.

6'6" no name double wing pin from the 70s. Beat up. Under the house

5something Bing twin from the 70s. My very first board. Wall hanger.

Old downing single fin log under the house. Not rideable. Needs a fin box.

My wife has one mitsu log and a sup not listed.

And I just sold five or so in the past few months. Embarrassing.

5'8 Von Sol Manta - Love this board
5'10 Bauguess MiniSimm with keels - Dont ride this often but love it when I do - specialty board
5'10 Tomo Vanguard - Used to ride this all the time, different enough to not want to give it up
6' Hypto Krypto x2. Have one that's been to Ropers a few times and a freshie I scored on CL.
6'4 Mini Driver - for when the Hypto doesn't have enough rocker
6'4 Takayama Scorpion - Specialty board, dont ride it much
6'5" Lost F1- best HPSB Ive tried, but its kind of a perfect day board for me
6'6" Firewire Michel Bourez. Thought I was over this board, then I rode it in big (for me) beachbreak and had a ball.
6'6" HS Shred Sled - Got it cheap on CL, thought it'd be a Hypto step up, jury is still out.
7'2" step up- almost never sees the water, glad its there though
9'2" Takayama beach break Longboard - for when I feel like logging it (not often)

The Manta and the Hypto are usually in a 2-board bag in my car. They get 90% of the waves.

Id like to try:
6' RNF in TimberTek
5'10" Super Fling in Superflex
Who's got ride reports?

Sell em on CL! I've bought sold a bunch of boards for my grom on CL as he's learned and grown over the last 3 years. He's just now riding his first brand new board.

I'm not sponsored, no.

I just eat beans and rice and spend most of my extra money on surfboards.

The AG thumb is one of my all time fav's Alaskasurfer. Probably the most ridden board out of all of them at this point. Needs some ding repairs right now though.

Chrisp, let's not forget you're a past enabler :roflmao:

But really I'm not trying to collect this many boards, especially since most are basically for the same conditions, it's just hard to sell boards around here because there's just not tons of other surfers and most of them don't ride HPSB's.

Wrong side of the tracks Leucadia
The Current line-up.

I've been rebuilding my quiver over the last year after a pretty severe back injury that kept me out of the water and losing about 40 lbs.

Not shown is a 9'2' Takayama DT2 with OD green Resin tint.

My Dims: 5'11 x 155lbs x 42 years.

Left to right:

5'4" GH Pill. I hardly ride my longboard even on the smallest days do to this board.

5'10 x 18 3/4 x 2 5/16" JS Hippee. This is my daily driver replacing a Monster X that had the same dims. This board is more lively due to the hip and smidge more tail rocker.

6'1" x 18 3/4x 2 3/8" JS FMN Round tail. This comes out on the better days once it's overhead. It's very fast.

7' 2" x 19 x 2 5/8" Album Semi-Gun. (Paint by Barry Snyder!) Still waiting for a good enough day for this one.

5'10" x 19" x 2 5/16" Bonzer 5. This board is great for mixing it up. Tons of speed and flow. Based on a former board of T. Knox.

6'6" x 19 1/2" x 2 5/8" JC Shane Dorian SD3 Step- up. Last of my old quiver it will handle big waves and now has ton of float after dropping weight.

The only boards on my wish list are a Twin Fin and a Hoyte Dart for summer in N. SD

Enjoy!
