I think the conversation about quivers was refering to surfing. Not standing up and paddling.

Yes a 6'4 is good though.

A quiver should be made up of as many boards as you can afford/get past the minister for finance....I just keep mine now and save up if I need a new one...the last board I sold I am still regretting it...current setup at the moment is :

6'2 x 21 1/2 x 3 CI Biscuit
6'6 x 21 1/4 x 3 Lost Mini Driver
6'6 x 20 1/2 x 2 3/8 Spider HO shortie
6'6 x 21 x 2 3/8 Island Single Fin
7'0 x 21 x 2 3/8 Full Circle HP shortie
7'0 x 21 x 3 CI Black Beauty
7'0 Lamont Single Fin
7'6 x 18 1/2 x 2 1/2 Rusty Indo Gun
9'4 Ashley Nose Rider
and a couple of SUP''s for the flat/tiny days

......gotta love a bit of variety

I'd choose none of them, since they're all way too overvolumed for performance.

No, still being built.

Monday huh? Oh yeah, early to mid-morning? 'Twas kind of fun until the wind started to swing in. Sharky, to stay on theme. Should've said hi, I've got no idea what you look like. Funny, I thought I might've been next to you today between Contacio's/3rds.

Hey Tux,
I was looking for something corky to paddle on in overhead waves. Just wondering what the black beauty is like? I previously looked at the 6'9" version. They look the goods to get into a wave early

Otherwise I stick to one general purpose go to all round short board for 90% of the time for local use.

It's pretty good on the juice...I have ridden it up to 10ft and it goes niceley...if I could change anything I would make the entry rocker a bit lower but thats just me...its a real rocket when you get it in good waves

^ I always wonder when I paddle around if anyone from here is out. If you see someone with a super stylish nosedive, well, you've found me

Secret hand shake/special ring time?

Why? There was almost no weed and a bunch of kids in the shorebreak and it was crowded ...

I stayed out for 4 1/2 hours in the end.

Not me, don't own a mal. But I have been surfing all week in my boardies at Leighton and Trigg. If you see a guy this week in boardies riding a shortboard then come say G'day or punch me. Either or.

Jeez thats keen, I did see you get a couple of good ones. My last one to the beach was best. Two nice top turns and it ran down the bank nicely
