So what's good to get if you're a longboarder who wants to do shorter boards sometimes?

First ones from Vernor. Now Travis Reynolds. Got a Snake Charmer on the way. All-around log.
I like the look of those pig shapes, but I haven't tried one yet.
I see Stewarts all over the place here. Not really feeling it LOL
One word.... to solve ALL your shortboar needs.

Yeah, I'm gonna get his "longboard alternative" (the McVee) sometime soon. Not sure about his shorter stuff. Vaquero could be good, I suppose.One word.... to solve ALL your shortboar needs.

Have a 6'8" Vaquero, and though I wish it were an 7 or 8, due to extra foam making a passive boar easier to paddle, I can say that as a wrongboarder, I back the shape 100% as a transition to hulls.
BolivianRam survives the 'Initial post" erBB gauntlet....
Oh cool. It's more like a "faux hull" right? Not as much sticking out below? Where do you surf it? Would you describe it as and "all around" type board? I've seen people riding these around my spot, but I haven't asked anyone how they like 'em.Have a 6'8" Vaquero, and though I wish it were an 7 or 8, due to extra foam making a passive boar easier to paddle, I can say that as a wrongboarder, I back the shape 100% as a transition to hulls.
I'm sort of impressed. I figured 24 hours tops
If you have time for a custom: get one of Travis' widowmakers. He claims it's his most versatile board. You could size it to be a good transition from the longboard.
GDT
You mean he hadn't shown us his moobs yet?
Man, I cannot keep up with this place.
The pace is too hectic.
It's a forgiving Hull. Works as a DD in under HH surf any place. Doesn't like too much push, it gets overwhelmed in heavier conditions. Great glide and you can turn or hit the lip.
ps if you want to surf a little more aggressive a Bonzer Mini or Egg is it.
I guess you figured out that you just can't come in here and ask for something without first making some kind of offering!
I'd recommend buying something used in the 6'4" range with plenty of volume , like 40+ Liters, 21" wide and 2.75 thick. Lots of bigger used Lost RNF's out there from people that went too large or outgrew them. When I wasn't sure about what kind of boards I wanted, I bought a few cheap used ones and ended up loving them and keeping them in the quiver for years. Others, I tried them, realized they weren't for me and sold them for what I bought them for. Going used is a great way to try out a sh!t ton of boards without breaking the bank and figuring out what you want.

Truly disappointed that none of the trolls have countered with a PeruvianBull handle to the BolivianRam... 
Yeah, I've been cruising Craigslist for weeks. Anything good is already sold by the time I see it. Maybe I'll get lucky soon. People seem to overprice their stuff too. For only a little more I could just by it new much of the time.
