5`11 quad by Pavel thru rainbow surf boards.( waist high to head high surf, hollow surf or waves with power.)
6´0 classic fish by D i c k Van Straalen. (knee high to head high, fat waves or mushy conditions, but works best in point like waves)
6`8 pin tail hull/egg by PJ surfboards, glassworks by marco.
(knee high to head high, every type of surf, but gets hard in hollow surf, but over here there´s no Pipeline...)
9`2 step deck by Donald Takayama.well it´s a small log...
i am posting this just to get feedback on board/surfing experience so that i can decide what other kind of boards to get.

5'10 Electric Duck twinfin from 70s? 80s? Haven't surfed it in years.
6'2" Al Merrick Quad 80s? For shits and giggles.
6'3" Cole thruster, boring fcs fins. For when it is perfect 4-6 feet, which is basically never.
6'11" Coffey thruster, protec fins! For overhead north Pacifica or Ocean Beach.
7'0" Malcolm Cambell shaped Bonzer 5. Just getting the hang of it.
7'4" Harbour Spherical Revolver. When I feel like surfing a single fin, which is often.
9'0" Harbour Simms "slimmer" model. For when it's small or I want to get into waves extra early...

What's the story with the Electric Duck? Who's behind it? I've seen couple of really nice single fin shapes at Mitch's. Looks like they'd fly.
Just so I stay on topic:
5'11" Larry Mabile Classic Twin Fish
6'0" Rich Pavel Quad, AKA the Speed Dialer, AKA the Quan
6'0" Bumble Cee, self shaped stubbie 5 fin AKA "I Told You So"
6'4" Merrick Flyer 1

7'0" Merrick Semi Gun
7'0" Guy Takayama 5 fin GWAT

'Quiver' is supposed to be the boards you currently use, but in different conditions. I got about eight boards - but currently use my fish in almost everything.
so if hit the beach, I take the fish, the 7'4" Nomad, and sometime in Oct... a Neumatic surfmat.
presently got:
6'6" Cosa Mia 70s winged swallow single fin (very cool - made here - probably the yellowest board on the planet)
5'8" Walker 80s Thruster - channels (too small for me now)
7'4" Xspeed egg-lookin thing (lame - made here)
7'6" Country Surfboards Nomad (thruster w/ glass ins)
7'4" Country Surboards Nomad (thruster, futures VF)
6'6" Country Surfboards Fish, twin keel
soon -- Neumatic custom surfmat.
... oh yea - 41" flexdex downhill skateboard.

Heck if I know. I've posted here and Swaylocks before but never could get a history of the label. Are you saying there are current boards being shaped under the Electric Duck label? Cool. I'll take a pic of mine and post in a different thread soon.

The two single fins I saw were brand new and very good looking. I think the shapers name is Mike Richardson. Coudn't find any info on the label though...

5'10'' Freline fish by John Mel (Love it!)
6'0'' Mandala turbo quad
6'0'' Self shaped fish
6'2'' Self shaped diamond tail Stubbie
6'3'' Mark Richards singlefin from the early 80's
6'3'' Shaped and ride it by Tom Curren
6'4'' Rusty '84 (on a friends house)
6'4'' Spider Thruster (19.5''x2.625'')
6'4'' Self shaped Bonzer
6'4'' Good Karma (by Stu Kenson) "Joel Tudor Surfboards"
6'6'' Mutant Moon (Rabbit shape) by Stu Kenson (there's something special on this one)
6'6'' Cordell thruster shaped for Bevo (Shane Bevan)
6'9'' CI Singlefin (first generation)
6'9'' Styling (my all time shaper) diamond tail singlefin
7'2'' ***** Brewer 1973 pin tail singlefin
8'0'' Eaton Bonzer
9'10'' Styling Modern Noserider (love for ever)
10' Softtop (a friend gave it to me for my girl...)
And a LOT of fins (i don't want to know how much fins i have...), including some sets of Halcyon's that i really love (12 fins in total from Halcyon). Some people don't realize how important are the fins, a good fin can turn a lot of surfboards on and not using the right fin set up can turn the best board into a dog.
I know i'm forgetting something, but that's what comes to my head now.
Guys, you're really lucky living there in USA having access to any surf equipement you want to try, here in Galicia (Europe) is not that easy.

From the quiver i posted up 8 boards come from USA, all of them came here thanks to diferent friends, some with someone on a plane, some others on a Clark Foam container, etc. The last ones (Mandala quad, Stu Kenson Mutant Moon and Good karma) came to Spain through a shipping company with the enormous help of a GREAT friend. He took care of the boards, he made an amazing job packing them, and he found a cheap and fast shipping method for me. 1000x THANKS! Also the colaboration of the shapers was really important.
Both Stu Kenson and Manny are great people (and amazing shapers), and it's a pleasure to deal with them. Things are always smooth with them. THANKS!
Anyway, bringing those boards from USA means money, but, in my oppion, they are worth it.
The Tom Curren board, the Cordell and others where bougth in the contests i judge to the pros, they always make a good price and the boards use to be well shaped but with a light glass job. The only problem is that i'm 5'11 and 195 lbs, so there aren't many pros of this size on the WQS, Shane Bevan and Pancho Sullivan are some of the last ones. Maybe i'll try to buy a board from Luke Egan or Mick Cambell in september, just to know what the pros of my size are riding.
If i could a Stretch quad and a Bonzer would be the next boards to bring from USA, but at the moment i think i have to wait or my girl will kill me. Maybe for the next summer.

HR, you've got the quiver that speaks to me the most. Add 4" to everything, and it would pretty much be my dream quiver, except I'd need a couple more for the bigger stuff.
