is it safe to put this on? it's not a mac.

funny things happen and i must admit the mac fireball has returned as new,and went like a dream today.

yeah mac thats my quiver shot I will have to update it a lot of those boards have been replaced and a few are stored in bali...the big blue beast in the top of the shot is a keeper...I call it the crowd dispersant....12'3" by 26" tandem... cuts a neat swathe through any crowd

New one in the making,my sons making one of those timber ply things,I'll post some pictures when its done.

Its shaped sanded and its in the clean stage atm,got no idea how he is going to ride it.

Billboard has a new board (well, will have on Monday)

I think I know what it is, I'll give you a clue-

"the shocker"

I think a three board quiver is the go.

Log single

All rounder

Covers most day's I would think.

In my opinion you only need one board - it's just a matter of finding the one special board that will do it all. Afterall how many of you with a quiver have turned up somewhere for a surf and thought "bugger, brought the wrong board" ? If you only have one board you WILL surf that board on the day no matter what and in no time at all you will become comfortable surfing that board in all conditions which will make you a better surfer and save you dollars and also frustration at always having taken the wrong board with you.

Let me just add - yes I have always changed boards every ten minutes and to be honest I think it's because I have never really found that perfect one board quiver. I have had and ridden many boards that I have really loved but nothing that would allow me to only need one board to do it all. In some ways now that I have no money I am being a bit more particular in finding the one all-round board. In recent times I have had nothing but praise for my dino which is probably the best performance board I have ridden on beachies and heavier points and really really loved the R/A 10fter for its ability in really small surf and its great paddle but I kept the dino as the allrounder and recently I found it lacking on my fave point break in that it didnt have enough paddle and was a bit of hard work in fatter and slower waves so I am still searching for that perfect all-rounder and so far my newest purchase is going close to ticking all the boxes but I've only ridden it twice so only time will tell.

Sounds like you like the tufflite boards Billboard. I had a Tolhurst 9'1 tufflite some years back that was as close to being a one board quiver as I've had.
If you can get your hands on one of them to ride I reckon you'd like it.

nearly 2011 and new quiver time,lets see photos especially BB show us all.

all week.

Nice outline.

Make sure you tell us how she goes.
