Single fin.
Fins: Stock Dane W, Fluid Foils Hatchet, FF CHopper depending on wave size.
Leggie? depends on the crowd and the number of rocks in the vicinity. Not by preference but usually by necessity.

[I like gulls]

I ride a 9'4" tube time. I haven't taken too much notice of it's measurements as my wife won it for me in a raffle a couple of years ago. She said it was going to be used as a coffee table. Prior to that I was riding a 9'6" log that was built for someone far heavier than I. Was great for catching everything in sight, but not hugely responsive. The first mal I had, I found at the dump in a less than rideable state. About 10' long 19" wide and 3" thick, narrow nose and tail, but fun in 4-5' waves. It didn't like being riden near the nose.
I think that my style is a mix of both new and old. It tends to depend on the wave I recon. I like to ride a variety of waves, but will avoid a spot called 3 poles like the plauge. Mostly it's small waves, so the traditional style is more condusive.

[Freshie Boy]

When there was swell on friday i snapped a board which was a 9'2 Performance mal shaped by steve o'donnell.

I also have: (these are all my old boards)
9'4 McTavish Fireball
9'4 Ian Goodaker mal- it's good for point setups but bad for the average sydney beachie... (i won it in a raffle at the Mal De Mer)
9'6 Steve O'Donell Tradtional Single fin
9'3 Steve O'Donnell Performance

and i have ordered
9'2 Steve O'Donell this is my competition board and its gonna rip!!!

Nice Quiver Pat

[the kalakau kid]

there are some fuckn' sweet quivers being laid down here. Freshie Boy and Longygrom I reckon yours take the cake. Nice to see the full respect for MR.
This thread has the best vibe of any i've read this week.

c'mon crew, there must be some more glass love stashed in the garage rafters out there, bring it out for the people.

[the kalakau kid]

Although full marks to I like gulls for the board he found at the tip. Reminds me of the vintage bill wallace that my brothers and I found in the garden of our parents house. Unfortunately we were too young to appreciate what we had and rode it into the ground. Ohh, well good way for a board to go I suppose.

any other classics that have come out from under the house?

[buzzy]

My 8'1" apparently isn't a true longboard. Oh well. Bondi Longboards or something.

Also a 6'8" McCoy Nugget which is going to be replaced with a 6'6" nugget soon.

Also a 6'10" Doc Lausch shortboard

[Spoon]

I picked up a 9'2" Town & Country out of the Manly Daily from a guy at DY after finding that the San Juan 8'1" was about 10 metres too far in to compete for waves at Longy and I would have to say that it is one of the best boards I have ever owned. I keep looking out for a new one but as I am having a good time the need is not there. As for old boards my brother in-law Phil the Philosopher has a couple of very used and well ridden Hot Buttered boards shaped by Terry Fitzgerald in the shed of the Mother In-law. A classic single fin pin tail about 6'2" and a thick square tail I think around 5'10" with the original rainbow logo. Both need work but still a part of history.

[hamish]

Buzzy,
sent you a message but not sure how this thing works
You interested in selling your 6'8" nugget when you get the 6'6"?
