    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.
    Putting the "core" in corporate, one turn at a time.

    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.

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

    had 7.0 squashtail funshape/shortboard thing (GF rides it now. good volume and pretty stable. nice beginner board if youre aiming towards shortboarding )

    have: 6.8 swallowtail. just right for those mushy atlantic things but you can still surf up to 6 feet(euro loser size measuring. just to clarify ). haven't tried anything bigger on it yet
    It's a war of the mind and we're armed to the teeth.
