I am rebuilding my Quiver having sold just about everything. With the sand slipping through the hourglass I am attempting to not slide with it by going away from 9ft longboards to smaller boards and challenging myself to get fitter. I also want to keep everything under 8ft as as it fits easy in my car and with an OS trip in mind later this year. Besides, I've done my fair share of 9fters and 666 and while I will probably go back there one day I want to try something different.
So the Munro has unfortunately (fortunate for another Breezer) gone. I have just posted photos of the UF8.
I have been playing around with Firewires (Mac can't give too much **** because I now also have a McTavish). This is a recent addition to the quiver of a 6'5 Firewire "El Feugo". It is a very flat rockered board with lots of volume. The wide point is forward which I think suits my style of surfing. It floats me up to my belly button and is easier than I thought to paddle into waves with. I havent had it out in a really pitching beachy yet and not sure how the flat rocker will go in these conditions. It is very fast as you would expect with the flat rocker and I think waist to head high surf will suit this board best.
There is probably a spot for 1 more board for very small days and full waves (please nobody say "Log"). Any suggestions? bearing in min
d I still want to stay under 8ft. Maybe an 8ball ? I know there are other Firewire boards that would suit that purpose!
Anyhow here is the quiver. The middle board is my young blokes.
Cheers
