Now THAT is a quiver! You got most bases covered there FG. How big is the Bonzer at far right?

stunet, 1389837420

Two photos from my shed. View of the rack. Fave shorty is third from left but busted the nose off recently, so riding the 5'9" third from right. First on left is 5'3" Mr Buzz by Stretch through Cory Surfboards in Torquay. Was on loan with sights to a review but it ain't for me - too small. Cory is gonna send a Super Buzz shortly which is closer to the dims I ride. Centre board is Wilderness singley shaped either by Chris Brock, Michael Cundith or Bluey Mayes. Did a bit of research and I'm pretty sure Greenough and McTavish had left Wilderness by the time that came off the racks.

Is that a Madonna poster bottom left corner?

Sorry.. meant to say.. love the look of that pintail. Is that an 8'0?

stunet, 1389837980

Madonna? WTF??

That's a poster for 'Paris, Texas'. Harry Dean Stanton and Natassja Kinnski playing star crossed lovers in Wim Wenders epic fusion of Euro arthouse and American grit. 

Plus it's on the right.

Pintail with the reeeal pinny tail is 9'0".

Chinese lass. Learning to fire a gun for the greater good of the Chinese Communist Party.

Cos that's what they do in China.

reecen, 1389840046

Singapore Quiver.
Doesn't get used nearly enough, the 5'5" Potato gets a run in Malaysia and the longboard gets paddled around flat water to try and stay fit. Everything else is for a run to Indo.

It's a beautiful looking planshape - just sublime. The board almost looks like it pre-dates fin systems.

reecen, 1389842408

"it's either torture or motivation" Its both depending on what day of the week.
The channels definitely don't get a run in Malaysia, although there is a pretty cool little surf culture building up there.

stu , way to hot for those boards in the rafter rack stick a thermometer up there when the suns overhead - 50 deg plus under the clear sheets......any twist in the 9'0 ? or are the boards away from the clear sheets.

stunet, 1389847977

Yeah, I thought it may be Udo, but there's two big spinning vents up there and they're always turning out the hot air. Prolly best to be safe though, eh? I've got a bit of space under the house where I can store the longer boards. Just have to turf out all the bottles of Grange...

Just how do you lodge a photo again guys?

stunet, 1389859788

Floyd, upload your photo(s) to a photo share site like Imgur or Photobucket. Both are free and simple to use. Then grab the html code and post on here. It's fairly intuitive and you've always got the edit button if you bung it up.

Yeah Pato's a champ, just picked up a new IQ+ from him (exact same dimensions as the one snapped in pic above). 

The Mr Buzz? It ain't mine, it's Cory Russell's of Cory Surfboards. I'll ask him how much he'll sell it for.

It's in A1 condition, I was the first to surf and only had a handful of sessions. Anyway, check back, I'll find out the price.

Oh bugger it, I'll throw on a bid. Wonder if it could be restored? Some of those dings look pretty badly fixed.

What you can't see are the two vents that remove hot air out of the shed. Anyway, someone gave me the heads up before and I removed them. They're now under the house and I've gotta run the gauntlet of snakes and spiders whenever I fetch them.

Ha! sorry udo the picture with my nugget was when it was still in the shop!

I wish all those boards were mine, Im pretty sure the Burford has a name on it but its up my old girls place so cant see ATM.
I really should get it restored as when I surfed many years ago it was surprisingly good.

Cheers

udo, 1398764226

Burford ' warrior' early 70s popout is it one of those ? just curious , theres one for sale on gumtree at Tugun ....I last sighted one of those in about 1977 ,be very few left I think.

That was the old days when they were bulked up (keeping in mind those boards are 4' 11"s... although still bigger than many semi pro surfers). They trimmed down to a quarter of the size shortly after, and in their prime were even tinier, and less muscular. We almost lost one of them when he was in 'Team Hopeless', during their quest (led by Roger and Frosty), to find the worlds least muscled human. The plug came out of the bath, and only his feet stopped him being sucked down the drain forever. Although Ross eventually took the award Nods protested, and almost had the decision overturned.

Stop forcing me out of reclusination.

Looks like a job for Duttsy, although Gaul would put in a beautiful piece of repairmanship, and craftsmanship.

I had to break up an incredible battle years ago, as one of the 'Fighting gordons' and another infamous, scrapper extraordinaire, 'Heidi Van Vanity' took each other to task in the water. It began as a savage verbal stoush, which it seemed like Gordon was winning, as he claimed his uncle was the first sealer to land in Elliston and build a shed (next to camslesses which was already there) in 1503. However, Van Vanity blitzed him with a montage of self portrait photos, many in sepia tone, and an endless variety of special effects, evening things out. Both then launched into a series of unconventinal, almost indescribable, flailing slaps, and scratches, that although they looked... well kind of effeminate, severely disabled both of them. I dragged them apart screaming like banshees. I might add that whilst this was going on PeteT snaffled both of their photographic teams and used up all of their remaining film, on a sepia toned, body english montage. Interesting times.

southey, 1399389305

I was going to say , until Shoredump humoured us with his collection
( PS .Ocean Image is copping a flogging in the reputation stakes with that shot ) .
I was going to say there is a few Quivers there in pristine condition , i'd be ashamed to show an image of the dozen or so boards I have and still ride ... They " look " like veritable war wounded , with rough bush / jungle fixes along the way .... I can't put my self through the agony of letting some of 'em go . Until they snap they are family , it seems though that some are just " battle hardened " , and refuse to give in ....

Can't remember the last time I sold a board. It'd be over a decade ago. Ride 'em till they die, and the ones that survive get a lifetime pension in the racks. The odd few that don't work get chucked under the house like deformed freaks from a John Waters film.

Shatner'sBassoon, 1399416906

The fighting Gordons are a mighty clan...there's the mid/west coast members who seem to be Big Lifty's comrades in arms, and then there's the south coast 'red' Gordons, resisting attempts to be entirely driven out of their ancestral lowlands by right-wing Sassenach bastids (one down, one to go!). Anyways, enough of that shit, here's Mongo!

wellymon, 1403069574

Classic, I think he's pretty onto it tho ;)

Looks like a few good old single fins in there, not sure about those square things...?
He is only a little wee strong fella so he could probably ride anything hahahahaha.
The funny thing is he doesn't even know I have consent to put this to the public....;)
Thats the funny part eh....!

wellymon, 1403090967

Yeah it's a full carbon fibre Maurice cole tow board, the one with the lightening bolt single fin is a real early Maurice cole board also.

15,000 dollars the single fin without the tumor, just come see me Udo, I'll get you a better deal ;)

Blowin, 1447751663

I just spent the day with an INCREDIBLE surfer.

And the extent of my quiver makes me feel embarrassed .

It's as though you'd pulled your cock out next to John Holmes and told him about your cock ring collection.....hectic.

Admittedly, this surfer is proper world class...

Blowin, 1447752812

And having said that ....

Even for that legend, who will be relegated to the memory bin sooner or later, it's all about FUN !

So if you've got a few boards that provide superior fun in varying conditions then rock on...

Apologies for the contrary opinions, I've just had the bedrock of my personal surfing world shaken by a couple of days slashing with an outrageous talent, the type of surfing that makes you seriously question what the fuck you have been doing for the last couple of decades .

freeride76, 1447800056

Maybe it's an "inside" board.

stunet, 1447801336

I'm hocking off a few boards for space...space for more boards that is. Figured I'd try 'em here and see if anyone is keen before venturing over to Vintage Surfboard Collectors or eBay.

Bob Hansen G&S, 6'8, early 70s. 8/10, deck is unreal, few pressure cracks on bottom, original fin. $250

Wilderness single fin. Can't find shapers sig but there's a build up of glass where fin has been reset. Figured it to be Brock, Bluey Mayes, or Michael Cundith. Bob Mac having left by then. Have seen an almost identical spray on another Wilderness but unfortunately the bottom is real bad on this board - might have to be a resto job. Overall condition, 4/10, but it's a Wilderness, right? $70.

freeride76, 1447801549

Can't see the last two Stu, is that at my end ?

stunet, 1447801729

Glenn Minami Blue Hawaii from the Pottz era. PCS and Gorilla Grip places it '89/'90. Lovely cream bulee colour on top but bottom is fine. Very few dings, all watertight. All labels under the glass. 6/10. $75.

Greg Clough Aloha. Standard mid-80s shapes with blocky rails, generous outline, belly channels, with single hip square tail. Period Rip Curl sticker! 4/10. $50.

stunet, 1447802287

Richie West-shaped Cooper. Turbo Design! About 6'3" with 'big boy' dimensions - it's thick. Has three finboxes and board comes with three red fins (couldn't be arsed screwing them in for the photo shoot). Nice spray, very good condition. 8/10. $200.

Don Burford 80s thruster, about 6'2". No shapers sig so it's not Neal Purchase snr. Classic period fluro 'flicks' on the deck, four channels, colour layered fins. 7/10. $150.

stunet, 1447802393
