after a bit of discussion on here it seems alot of us are surfers and many seem to have really cool sticks, so i thought i would start a post for u all to show off your 'other' wild rides.
to start us off here is a pic of my small wave board, a 5'10" single that i recently reglassed and resprayed.
also a link to another single i have now for sale on ebay

wheres pyro? his family surfs. he taught me once, but i can barely stand up on dry land anyways
I'm a Kneeboarder. Heres one of mine. 6 foot, 24 1/2, 2 5/8 Tri Fin. Good to 6 feet surf.
Lowrider collects these he should have some very old ones to show.

wow, didnt realise you could get kneeboards that long! thought they were usually about 5', dont think i would like to try kneeboarding in 6' surf!

It's not often you get 6'+ to surf in. Maybe 5-6 times a year. Allways worth having a go though. 3-4' is the average around here. There is some great uncrowded beaches to surf at as well (shhhh secret!).
I've got a 6' pin tail as well as a 6' Quad Fish which has the same artwork as the one above. My 11yo son rides a 5'4" pintail kneeboard also.
Any more sticks??
Brendan
Brendan,

Here's my loudest kneeboard; guaranteed to get you noticed...
Parkes/Friar Tuck 5'10"

something older...

Andy,
I've seen you on KSUSA. You have quite a collection. Did you surf with the Sunny Coast club a couple of weeks ago? I caught up with Meat and Techno whilst I was up there in September. The board above got badly damaged by Qantas on the trip up. Lucky I packed the brand new FT quad also. It now has a nasty fin chop to the rail from a dropin teenager who lost control and Tboned me 4 weeks ago. I AM staying calm!
Some of your more arty boards would look good in a display with a cabrio or early kombi. Would love to see pics.
Brendan
Brendan, small world... green beetle avatar?
didn't make it to the Windansea club comp but have met Meat at a barbie (heh) a while back;
don't know Techno.
Were you at the worlds up here a couple of years back?
Bummer about the dings, you should try Noosa Heads when there are 200 out at nationals!
how's the quad fish go??
Andy
ps
probably nobody cares about this stuff but us, hey!
Didn't go to the worlds (I'm not at that level). Competed at Coffs Last May though. Had a lot of fun especially the 4hr session at Crescent Head on the way back.
The quad is very different. A real rail to rail board. Turns on a 10c piece and is very fast. It suffers in full messy waves though.
I've got a pic on another computer which I'll post here.

This is so part of the culture...very sweet
This is my lattest creation.

nice one, manx; you glass it too?
(maybe thats a dumb question, looking at the manx's on your posts)
Brendan,
where's yer fish??
nice work indeed manx, glassing is a biatch of a job. looks like it will be a fun board to ride too, my father has a 7'6" hybrid that was custom made for him, tis a little skinnier in the nose then yours and has the widest point a little further back, is a blast to ride, so easy to handle and great for improving tecnique, as everything just happens that little bit slower when riding it so you get a real feel for things.
