Hey tweez, I hear that you may be getting into the snow for T day, good on ya!
As to a first board, I think you ought to look at some of the epoxy production board lines. They have gotten shapes from lots of the best shapers. And can reproduce them perfectly. So as you rent, try a variety of shapes and sizes to zero in on what you like. If you tel the guys at a good surf shop know what you are doing they should be able to steer you in the right direction. Then once you have ridden that board for a while maybe then you can find a good custom builder to help you refine the next board towards what you are moving towards. Cheers Richard |

It will be like when I got my snowboard... staring at it motivates me to get out there! And I didn't get to go to the snow on Thanksgiving. But I am trying to book a flight to Denver as I type this so I can finally get my butt in some snow! I am running the Vegas half marathon this coming weekend so I am a busy gal! And then I am planning on running the half marathon in Oahu in April... would love to get on those Waikiki waves again! Will keep you updated on my search for a board! And nostatic! Awesome pics! |

Put yer glasses on ya crusty old phart...there's a handicap placard on the rear view. My GF's grandson was wanting to learn to surf. The bike is mine, the board is my brothers....just outside of Blackie's Bar in Newport Beach.
My cane is inside the passenger side door....

Okey-dokey...here in Oregon, 2 types of handicapped spots. One has a sign "van accessible". Better not park a car, even with a placard, in one...it can cost ya $400.
apologies for not seeing the tag...and for the hijack. Back to Tweezer's man hunt...

manhunt? Who said I was on a manhunt? I am on the hunt for a surfboard!
 Men give me headaches... Surfboards and snowboards bring me happiness.

Stop by and I'll give you a board. You don't even have to give it back, but if you don't want to lug it around, it can live here. Not much if a board, but it floats and it's NOT from my surfing days, so it's not made out of wood.

Generous of you Milt. I wonder, in this day of short boards, is there any demand for a vintage Hobie Alter board?

There is almost always demand for vintage... If its got any sort of cool design, it is valuable as decoration in the very least...

Hobie? You bet! American Pickers bought some boards last year. They gave one of particular value to the Surf Museum in Huntington Beach

There has been a big upturn in interest in classic old boards and surf memorabilia. I know there is an auction here in Honolulu each year. Some boards reaching $10K.
Surely there are similar ones in So Cal. Nostatic, nice pics of some sweet moments. How is your Dad doing? Cheers Richard |

Went surfing at Coco Bch, Fl Mon/Tues of last week. Hadn't been on a board in 12 yrs. Dayum I forgot how much fun it is. My body reminded me of several seldom used muscles. lol
