Been sick so far...

Current:
1964 Hobie - 9'2" - single fin
2003 Jim Phillips - 9'4" - tri-fin

Future:
Something in the 10-11' range



The Hobie only comes out on waist-high and below days since it's very narrow and heavy. Cruises pretty nicely tho.

Current:
7'2" Point Blanks Rocket Sled

Past:
7'8"? Unk. rasta-colored squashtail similar to a Rocket Sled.

Adding this summer:
Can't decide. Some sort of small wave board, but longboard or fish? Keep in mind, I suck. My skillz are pointing me towards longboard, but my ego wants a fish. Someone go to www.pointblanks.com and pick me a board from their stock lineup.

Current quiver:
6'6 Rawson Matador
7'0 Hammersurf Speed Egg
7'4 Natural Art Gun
9'2 R. August Wingnut II (rounded pin)

Past boards:
9'0 R. August Wingnut (sold)
8'10 Stewart custom hydrohull (snapped)
7'8 Spectrum squashtail (snapped)
6'6 Spectrum squashtail (snapped)

And some others I can't remember....

Go for the 9'6" noseglider.

You should have a ball on this type of board...perfect for small waves and a ton of fun. Eventhough you may suck, I'm sure you'll do just fine on a longboard. I too sucked on short boards...hell, I never even got up. But in just a few months, I was surfing head high with the best of them on a longboard.

And if anything, you're ego should point you to go bigger....hey....doesn't that sound familiar around here. :biggrin:

The first time you hang five or ten, you'll realize you made the right decision.
