Hey Walrus - got a spare 10 footer you want to give a new home to?

Name: Rich
Age: 36
Location: New Jersey, USA
Boards: 8'6" mini-longboard, 6'8" Lost Mayhem, 6'2" InSight (Greg Webber glassed tri-fin shortboard - first one I bought for myself, secondhand, in the 1980's)
Fav: 8'6" mini-longboard with a 9" cutaway wingnut center fin; playing with the two side fins removed

A guy I ride with has one of those Pope-like travel boards and he says he really likes it, and it travels like a normal suitcase so no shipping issues.

The Yater Specializer nose looks to be the same as yours - dark blue rails and underside with gold pin lines. What do know of the Specializer Nose - I can't find any mention of this model anywhere, where did you get yours?

Yeah, I can't find any info on it either. I got mine at Malibu's (8th st. & boardwalk) in Ocean City, Maryland.
I don't know much about other than it was the kind of longboard I was looking for when I went into the shop. It's great fun (working on my cross-stepping at the moment).

State name - Andy
Age - 18 (19 in a couple of weeks)
Location - plymouth uni at the mo but bournemouth area in the holidays
Number of years riding - 5 properly like 3 times a week or so, before that since i was about 7 or 8 i guess
Quiver - 9'1" signed mc tavish 2plus1 performance longboard, great for floaters and pretending to be a shortboarder. fun in big waves super light and pretty fast.
9'2" shaped by my old man singlefin fat and bouyant serious noserider very very fun to ride.
6'7" thruster shaped by my old man not used much anymore but was a great first shortboard
just sold a 7'6" nineplus raspberry ripple which i rode all the time for a year or two.
5'10" thruster (for sale) k bay made by simon firly for terry crump and surfed in south coast surf movie "slop"
6'3" thruster for bigger waves single concave right though (for sale) not surfed too much as i got it for x mas and then bought a bonzer a few weeks later.
jewel in the crown:
5'10" malcolm campbell 5 fin bumblebee bonzer. the most high performance board i have ridden. it has like a 10" wide square/diamond tail and it is yet to slide out!
also possibly getting a second hand 6'1" malcolm campbell bonzer in the next few weeks fingers crossed!!!
Dad collects old boards so i grew up riding singles, twins, thrusters etc, discovered bonzers recently and have not looked back (saying that i might shape a twin at easter for small beachies) Yet to try a quad or twinzer but im very interested to see how they go.

Quiver/fav board
6'6" Aviso Bat tail quad from Doc
6'6" Channel Island Hydro epic MBM

[styleisrelaxation]

how does the bat tail quad go? i hear the bat tail is like a swallow but looks cooler and quads seem to be blowing minds at the moment?

[pkbum]

I've only surf for like 3days with it. I m really enjoying how fast it is since it is a quad. This board won't work in those place where the waves are slow and mellow. Works especially well for me since most of the breaks near oc are fast and dumping.

Mosselbay (south africa) Mainly innerpool but sometimes hit outers.
4 months (not including bodyboarding, skateboarding, or the one vacation I learned to surf on the most basic level.)
7'2" some sort of board (looks like a shortboard, doesn't have a pintail, probably is a huge shortboard, could be a gun though) And soon I am getting a 6'6" shortie.

[The Fafanator]

Guys only start getting hot when they're 30.

I love boys in old man skin!

There's hope for me yet

Holy crap that is alot of longboards, do you have any shortboards in your quiver of 36? Plus how the hell do you have enough space to put 36 longboards in your house? Or do you rent a storidge facility or something?
