Quiver Closeout Crescendo

Okay, I found a few more boards that I need to liquidate to get myself down south to start up the biz for the season.

The first three are the single fin that I was selling previously, a purple people eater quad with LokBox, and a white quad with LokBox.

The single fin is a fun stinger outline with parabolic rails. This is an EPS blank glassed with styrofoam compatible polyester resin. It has great drive and rides the barrel like no other. It turns more like a single fin with side bites than a straight single fin because of the wings and the hard edge up past the wings. Hand tuned a mistake blank from Ezera cut off the machine and glassed myself.
DIMS: 6'2" N 12.5" W 18.5" T 11.5" 2.25" THICK

The purple people eater quad is a board I've had lot's of fun on. I like this board for beach breaks. It's been ridden very few times and is water tight . I hand shaped and glassed this board. It is polyurethane blank with polyester resin.
DIMS: 5'7" N 13" W 18.5" T 13.75" 2.25 THICK

The white quad I prefer on bigger days at reefs or points. It comes with a D-Surf mini kick pad to stop you from sliding your foot off the back of the board. This board has great float for paddle battling with the crowds. It's rocker handles hollow waves and it's double to single concave out the fins gives the board a lot of speed to make all kinds of sections. This is a bigger board for me so it could accommodate a bigger guy. This is an Ice-9 second blank with Rexin-x glass job. The Ice-9 blank has some shrinkage going on but it appears to have stabilized. The shrinkage has not affected the ride at all. I hand shaped and glassed this board as well
DIMS: 6'0" N 12" W 19" T 14" 2.25" THICK

All these boards were shaped and glassed by me. I have ridden them on some great waves and had tons of fun on all of them. they are in good water tight condition. The single fin has some delam on the deck and a tiny bit on the bottom from a gassy blank, but it is water tight and the delam doesn't affect the ride. I'm asking $150 each if bought individually or $390 for all three.



Next is an almost new ridden very few times Akila Aipa twin fin with a traction pad. This board is water tight and light. It has a crisp edge for amazing rail control. It has nice MR style fins for positive turns with no sliding out as long as you keep it on rail. I'd ride this board any day from 3 to 8 feet. $325
DIMS: 6'3" W 19.25" 2.5" THICK

Board Bash Bummer.

Tonight was about to be a bummer. All day I looked forward to a surf. I was dirty from yardwork and was looking to clear my mind and wash off the filth with a few waves. I took out the one board I had left in my quiver that would work for today's conditions, my new Marlin Bacon California quad with bamboo fins the whole board glassed with Resin-X. I got to the spot and it looked like a fun high tide wind swell. The reef wasn't breaking but the inside beachbreak playground had some little ones that raced into some fun end sections. I paddled out and caught a few. The board was working great. I was a little rusty due to all the work in the yard plus, as my wife would say, " A... G... E". She would spell it out just like that for emphasis. I love her Chilena sense of humor. Apart from the slow start, I felt pretty good with the session, when a very fun right rolled in. I paddled for it and saw a guy down the line paddling in, going for the poach. I yelled "RIGHT" at a decibel level I believed loud enough for him to hear. He kept paddling. I stood up and made my turn about mid face to squirt down the line. I was pretty sure he saw or at least heard me, but apparently not. He stood up and was in the process of drawing out a bottom turn when I got up to him. Within about 5 feet of him I yelled "RIGHT!" That must have startled him because his board shot out from under him and back at me, slipping right under neath the nose of my now speeding board. That stopped my board and I jumped to miss landing on top of the whole mess. I swam to get my board. When I got to it I saw the damage. It had broken my outside bamboo fin off. It was gone. I paddled back out to the guy and told him that I would have to ask him to pony up some dough for the repair. I thought $40 bucks would be a fair amount since I will fix it my self and have access to the materials. At first I was afraid he wasn't going to do the right thing. He started talking about not hearing me and that he thought I was going left. I called B#))$#!* on that and went off the handle. I started to lose it and yell. I had to calm myself down and I told him that I was going to get the money from him or file small claims to uphold the principle. It was a half-hearted threat because I could see that he was sorry and that he wanted to do the right thing. Some other guy paddled up while I was ranting and tried to play advocate. I told he didn't know what he was talking about and to go away. Finally the wave poacher gave in and broke down to do what's right and cough up the cash. I surfed the board like that until the sun went down. This guy was good enough to tell me he was going in and that he would go to the ATM to get money to pay me. I went with him to the 7-eleven. I told him to just give me $20 to cover some of the cost of the bamboo replacement that I would have to buy from Marlin. He seemed impressed that I had asked for so little money and that I had apologized for losing my temper and calling him a liar. With that impression he gave $30 instead of the $20 that I had just reduced the request to. With that I have most of the money to get a replacement bamboo fin to repair it with. I guess the board bash was a bummer but the act of brotherhood will shine away the darkness of the damage to my magic Marlin California quad.

New To Me Surf Forum

Hey I found a new to me forum. Global Surfers Forum is a nice layout with several users. It's not as packed as the SurferMag erbb. That might be a good thing though. Not as many trolls. I'll be trolling it for a while to see how I like the vibe over there. So far so good.

It's great to hook up with people that surf in all parts of the world and share with them the sentiments and their take on the surfing lifestyle. Here is the link in case any of you want to check it out. I'll see you over there.

Global Surfers Forum

The day before The First Day of Christmas Surf.

It ended with one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen!

Nobu got a fun wave on Manny's 9'6"

Manny Caro was gliding and cross-stepping.

It was a cosmic session with Manny since there was a Mandala man on the beach.

Earlier in the day La Jolla reefs had a couple of fun waves.

And My nephew Conner was ripping at his surf PE in Del Mar.
