Surfing Tacoma Quivers

3’ slow roller day yesterday waiting 15-20 minutes for a rideable wave on my short board. After 30 minutes switched to my 7’ Log and was catching countless waves. The catch surf does come in handy. Though I do still feel like everyone is secretly laughing at me. Oh well. I was the only on catching wave after wave.

 

Which one you recommend?

 

In SoCal? Yeah pretty common since Lost collaborates with them on so many boards.

 

Nice thing about them is they don't ding easily. You can throw it in the back of the truck and don't have be careful with it

 

Depends what you want. I have the 6’ quad skipper. If I got another it’d probably be the log in like 7’. They have a ton of float and catch everything

 

Some of my current quiver, never enough

 

I’ve had the dream catcher ( round pin version of the dream maker) & the meat cleaver. Didn’t really click w the dream catcher, sold it & got the meat cleaver. Have ordered 2 more custom meat cleavers since. Solid shape for decent waves w some power if you usually ride a shorter/wider board. Roberts makes really nice boards, easy to get custom dims / shapes

 

Solid I really like that meat cleaver shape was hoping to get speed out of it too.

 

New TW member and just found this thread. My first truck comes in any day (scratch that, delayed another two weeks , so excited to throw the boards in a truck bed for the first time in my life woot!. Here's a pic of my daughter's first new board made for her by Marc Andreini; Her quiver has a begun. She's pretty good little grommet out there.

 

Sweet board! What size is it? I’m wanting to get a board almost identical to that Next but about 7’

 

Thats a 7'2", coincidentally my fav size of that board (Vaquero) . Although I do have my own of that size and shape so I wont have to borrow too often.

 

Now an Andreini is a way better first board than a Costco Wavestorm! Well done Dad!

 

Marc has a new book out detailing his shaping career and experiences which i also bought her w the board and we’ve been reading for bedtime. Just trying to teach her to care and think about making/creating/humans etc

 

first board or first New board...???

 

i dont have a costco membership so her first board she learned on was my old gary hanel pill which is short, flat and fat, so perfect for her,,,this is 'her' first board, that was made for her and supposed to be all hers

 

That's awesome, I've got a newborn to. Thanks for the idea!

 

I have several GH Boards. Great guy for sure!

 

Gary is a legit amazing human. I lived just around the corner from him while I lived in Encinitas and at one point he had shaped me I think 3 boards. Nothing better than being able to literally talk to your shaper while he is shaping your board right in front of you. So fun.

 

love it. Been to his neighborhood many times. Plus he has his friend and glasser right across the street. Real Board building going on in that zone.

 

Anyone use these?
Just bought my first 5 fin board and trying to see if these are worth it. Everything I know about futures said the honeycombs are well rounded fins.
