Surfing Tacoma Quivers

Day after thanksgiving west swell in Santa Cruz was crackin….had a great time out on one of the nicest weather days in recent memory

 

Pictures like these make me really miss my old apartment which was about a 3 minute walk to West Cliff

 

Thanks

 

Well I got Christmas shopping knocked out.

 

Finally got around to building a surf rack in the garage. I made sure to leave some room to expand the quiver.

 

Just found a Campbell brothers bonzer the other day helping a buddy clean out his father in laws house. Hope I can get it reglassed

 

pics?

 

I’ll post one up in a bit

 

Found this board helping a buddy clean out a relatives old house.

 

Got this one from a contractor. Anyone recognize this logo? It’s an old bird but it has a fin box so don’t know what year it was made.

 

That my friend is a Surfboards by "Rick", aka Rick Stoner, from Southern California. Let me know if you are interested in a sale or trade, I'd love to take it for a spin as I learned on a board like that.

 

Thanks for the info!!!! I’ve definitely heard the name but stoked to have this board!! While I wouldn’t want to sell it I’d love to meet up if you wanna check it out or ride it.

 

Minor waves last week but some beautiful water. A few miles north of what used to be called Beer Can Beach:

Nice rack! Do you know what type of beach cart you have? That folds up very nicely.

 

Grabbed these this year. Longboard is a custom Cochon from shea somma. 9ft single fin for my wife and I. Robert’s is a custom dream catcher just picked this up last month. Been super fun to ride lately on the central coast with these swells coming in. Can’t wait to take it north to sc soon

 

At this point, I see no reason not to buy custom surfboards given the cost of mass produced boards.

 

They used to be a tad bit cheaper. Now days it’s all the same price. But I’m supporting local small business instead of some random brand. Although I do have a FireWire and they are good boards.

 

Where do you guys buy your customs? Custom boards have always been cheaper than off the rack boards at least in Southern California they have. And I guess I’m referring to known shapers off the rack boards.
