Not really Kayu. I know of someone who would could make me a single that would be absolutely out of this world. Im so tempted and thought long and hard about it. Trust me I did.

IF I ever went to bali would I take a single, probably yes if I got one from him, but only from the man. But would I take a quad, oh lordy yes, within a heartbeat.

Again, I love how a single rides, the lines are pure and beautiful, I also like how a quad rides, its personal.

As you saw from one of my earlier posts I stated that im glad he has thought thru his decisions and that has stewed over them. In the end its personal as long as the decision making is just not a spur of the moment thing then its all good. ( It looks like that post never made it up, oops, oh well ive said it now)
no, Im not a surfer, Im just a garbage man".

Thoughts are leading toward taking 4 boards.
6'8 rabbidge thruster
6'4 more quadfather
6'1 single
6'0 miller vskate custom.

Just need a bigger bag.

Just stumbled across this thread I started a while ago.
A year later...
Sold the rabbidge thruster, and the 6'4 quad father.
Bought a 6'7 miller semi gun, 6'2 bonzer mini Merk, and PCC 6'0 Tri/quad. Think I'll leave the 6'1 single at home if I can find a nice 2+1 before I go.
Looking for a 2 + 1 or 4 + 1 at the moment. Around the 6'6-6'8 length. Something like this:

There's no time for PCC to do me a custom so would need to be off the rack. Any ideas? Not many people stock 2+1's where I live. Called Finbox, the shop next door, both don't have anything that suits.

No pics, tootr had some but they're not online anymore... I already have a mini merk

Steve, I wasn't but thinking about it. For the waves I mainly surf it would be better as a quad or thruster option for me, beautiful board but not enough use.
