I reckon so Bighugg!
As you know, the Dry has kicked in up here and with that comes very clean days but smaller. When the swell does manage to sneak in its a stack of fun. But you definitely need more length - which is why I was thinking of the Search.
But, sometimes old mate - the universe provides and hey presto! There's the Point Break - just what the doctor ordered - a bona fide Dry Season ripper!
that, or a 12'6 Blue Planet Bump Surfer.
Dunno - either way, I think we're spoilt for choice Bighugg.
Its a nice problem to have though!

Great stuff mate - if you ever want to offload any surplus boards just let me know
For some a quiver is a daily driver and a step up. Several small variants of a favorite board do it for others. For me it is a range of differences.
At 59yo and 92kgs this is an array that yields performance or ease depending on how the ocean looks and how I am feeling.
9-2x28 120l 10-6x31 148l 10-4x28 145l 9-2x30 129l 8-3x30 120l

Sized for below freezing conditions and gear
Tasty idea creek ,I've just had a big sell up ,so I'm ready for that quiver ,maybe a bit smaller ,but nice shapes ...
Ok.... my new 5 new board quiver has arrived!
However, I cracked a rib on a nice OH day last week..... so I am sitting out, for up to 6 weeks
I am paddling them in flat-water and getting to know them a bit.
They always draw attention whenever I pull them out!
I'll get some videos when I am back in the saddle!
