quiver..

the quiver is actually about 7 boards stronger. i've lost track

of the others..they get borrowed and swapped and passed

on again...and if they come back they definitely have

a bit more character..haha, theres those favourites that arn't 

for loan but it is good to see a board 

that doesn't necessarily bond with you make a special 

connection with someone else..they are all beautiful in 

their own right...right??..and everyone surf's different so

 different strokes for different folks is a good thought pattern

to stick to..after all, we can't all ride the latest pro model shortboard..

or want to!. that's where it becomes interesting..yes there 

are all rounders..but what if u started to dedicate your 

quiver to different waves??..point breaks, beach

breaks, reef breaks, small fat waves, hollow fast waves..thruster,

 quadfin, twin fin, single fin, channels, flyers..you just opened up a big world of 

possibilities...and most importantly fun! i tend to ride a different board

every surf..usually to match the waves...and sometimes one not really

matched but the challenge of such a venture is rewarding

and can help with your overall surfing ability..(i think)

respect and love your quiver folks...and i will say this...

experiment..find what works for you..not what is the flavour

of the month..take pride in your own style..

after all we surf to be free..not to be cool..yeh?

got the hard task of picking about 5 boards to take north

with me tomorrow and leave the rest behind...a quick shot

of the gang before they get split..
