Squirl Collection: My Surfboards

6'3" Randy French Tuflite surfboard

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 19:44:10 +0000

This is a really petite board that doesn't really float me. I would need to weigh about twenty pounds less to be able to paddle this board. Nonetheless, it's a sweet board, really rips.

6'3" fiberglass surfboard I bought in Puerto Rico

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 19:44:10 +0000

I bought this board while surfing with my friend Jeff in Puerto Rico. It's made by a well-known East Coast shaper/label that slips my mind...Anyone?

6'2" JC Hawaii Tuflite surfboard

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 19:44:10 +0000

This shortboard is a great all-around board for surfing small waves. Durable, versatile, and a solid performer in conditions smaller than a few feet overhead.

6'3" Patagonia Mako hybrid epoxy surfboard

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 19:44:10 +0000

This board is good for small days, though, truth be told, a good surfer can surf it in larger conditions. It's a hybrid design, kind of in between a shortboard and a fish.

7'2" Patagonia Mini-gun (epoxy surfboard)

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 19:44:10 +0000

This lovely epoxy board was shaped by the guys at Patagonia. A good board when the waves are a bit overhead, or if there's a lot of water moving around.

7'6" Randy French Tuflite surfboard

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 19:44:10 +0000

This surfboard is a great all around beginner's board. It has a nice bit of rocker in the nose (harder to nosedive), and is quite stable.

9'6" Yater Spoon, Tuflite surfboard

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 19:44:10 +0000

This lovely log, another Surftech board that I purchased second hand, is great for small days, and riding the nose. Though, truth be told, I haven't quite made it up to the nose yet. Most of the time I just walk right off.

9'0" McTavish Tuflite surfboard

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 19:44:10 +0000

I bought this used from a surf shop in Huntington Beach. It has an epoxy core, with wood veneer and fiberglass on the surface. This board can be surfed as a single fin or a tri-fin. Great for catching waves on small days.
