Goddammit I've clearly overdosed.

In Sydney I have:

a 5'10" MP-style single fin blob shaped by Stu Kenson from San Diego, California

a 5'11" Shane retro single fin squaretail

a 5'11" MR super twin

a 5'11" LSD squashtail

a 6"0" Webber with a crease in the nose

a 6'0" and a 6' and half inch Haydenshapes square squash (the 6' and a half is a Gem)

a 6'1" Maurice Cole squashtail (ridden almost into the ground)

a 6'2" Haydenshapes round pin (another Gem)

seven Al Byrne deep six channels ranging from 6'1" to 7'1", mostly pintails though a couple are swallows, several are irreplaceable

two towboards, one 5'8"x15 and a half MC, one 6'0"x15" AB, the AB is painted dark silver 'cause it was ridden by Doerner in that crazy James Bond movie intro

Not counting the paddleboards.

This I can clearly see is ludicrous, what in god's name am I doing with all these boards. Got to be time for a sale of some kind. Of course I'll just buy more boards with the profits. Anyone interested fire away.

i could easily get by with:

5'9 round nose fish - modern hybrid thing for everything below about 5ft (ie: everything!)

6'4 rounded pintail - for bigger, better days

as it is, i've got a 5'8 Xanadu tufflite, a 5'9 round nose fish, a 5'10 old skool twinny, a 6'0 fish hybrid with flyers and a 6'3 squaretail (the only standard shortboard). oh yeah and a yellow foamy.

plus a couple of snowboards too!

p.s u keen part with a paddle board mr carroll :?:
Yes god help me there are more scattered around the globe. About a dozen in Hawaii -- best boards I own and they just bloody sit there for 10 months a year.
Several in CA of all places. Some on various boats drifting around the tropics, if I see any of them again I'll be lucky.
And a paddleboard, I'll definitely consider it. Got a carbon fibre hollow styrene Dick Van Straalen 12-footer, pretty bloody cool it is too. Leash ring for those 50 knot southerly days :lol:
