Surfing Tacoma Quivers

Just need to throw some wax on her and she’s ready to go. Might have to be sick on Wednesday and go surf

 

sick stick, i've been looking at a roberts dream catcher and or meat cleaver.

 

Thanks I’m stoked on it! Haven’t bought a new board in years. Credit goes to @Prayn4surf for helping me pick the right board. Even though he made me go back down yesterday to buy it cuz he told me the wrong size at first

Go get yourself a new board! It’s a great feeling, you deserve it

 

I still want to shape my next board. Step down fish. Just need to get off my ass and start it.

 

I want to turn my garage in to a shaping bay so bad! But I lack the knowledge and tools to shape a board

 

They sell kits right? I've always wanted to shape one too. Would be pretty awesome to be able to say you are surfing something you made

 

Ya. I think when I was in Hawaii a loca shop had a kit for like 200 bucks

 

if you dont completely fuck it up, that's such a good deal lol.

 

I’m sure you can surf it no matter what. It might not be the best thing ever though and may turn to a wall deco haha. I gotta get my buddy to teach me to shape. He’s been pumping out boards lately. Would be cool to really understand everything that goes in to shaping and board functions

 

Currently looking up how to turn my garage in to a shaping bay, good use of company time

 

$375 gets you a shaping kit ready to shape your first board. You get everything you need to shape a board. Thinking about ordering this

you can't get used boards that cheap. let alone the satisfaction if its even ride able lol.

 

For real. I'm sure the first few boards won't be great, but they'll be surfable. I was looking at the price of blanks and they're really not too bad, less than 100 for shortboards. Fin plugs are maybe 30 bucks, leash plug another 10. And then the cost of glassing, which I'm not too sure of but I can't imagine it's too much, especially if you buy in bulk.

 

If anyone's in San Clemente I highly recommend checking out album surfboards, a little pricey but the boards are incredible. My go-to board is a 5'6 UTF, a standard fish with glass ons, slightly slimmer than most retro fishes. Ill try to post a picture later

Love my album disc bonzer! His boards new are pretty pricey so not sure I’ll be getting one shaped any time soon but when funds allow it I wouldn’t hesitate! I would love a twin fin fish from him.

 

That's a sick board! Mine was a custom shape for someone else who didn't end up taking it, was made for someone about the same size as me soI jumped on the offer, was a reasonable price too.

 

i love supporting local shapers its the only boards i've actually ever bought. i really need to find a board to get back into surfing. going to morro bay thursday hopefully its nice like it was last week. fuck i need to move back to the beach lol

 

central coast surfboards is where i've gotten most mine, azhiaziam and joe surfboards also carry a ton of used boards if your in the central coast area

 

Heres some pics, board is old and kinda dirty but still rips

 

That thing is sick!! It’s a 5’6?? Let me know if you ever get rid of it lol

Mine was shaped for someone else too, bought it off a guy on Craigslist in sd who also had a decently modified tacoma
