simply stated, quivers are a window into our surfing self's and guys, the potential energy of your quivers' most assuredly reaches out to me. each stick "...tells a story don't it..." about the mosaic that makes up your surfing path, i bet that have many tales to tell....note: Sh's ghostly image and 'Trix's geographical power spot, very interesting...
[attachment 1] at the time confronted with the singular desire of pursuing an intimate relationship with 'the juice', these compadres were crafted by the fine creative hands of those capable of bring forth form from substance to bring dreams come true...now, only power objects, their swell imbued mana bring feelings of joy and sessions past to phantom limb and phantom surf to the touch...
and, [attachment 2] kemo sabe on the path to longing...
The latest addition to my quiver is currently under construction.
This one will be perfect for my near-crippled state:

Excluding a couple of sleds still in the rafters this is my current quiver, soon to include a custom hull by Ryan Lovelace.
Finally, after years of frustration I've got insurance approval for my back surgery that will take place in the next couple of weeks.
It won't be soon enough as I haven't really been able to surf for about a year now due to the effing pain...
In the quiver are (in length, longest>shortest) my custom red Dave Johnson longboard gun pintail (8'10") triple-stringer Clark Foam blank
singlefin, 8'6" yellow CI Flyer II ("Old Man's Gun"), gray 8'0" CI M13 rounded-pin Tufflite, white 7'10" CI Flyer II, white 7'6" CI Flyer II XTR
(super-lite; great for my back), gray/white 7'4" CI Flyer (custom airbrush), and lastly, classic yellow/white 6'10" Andreini rounded pin (1976)
- the quintessential Santa Barbara board of that period...
I've got a couple of restoration projects in the works. Anybody with an old classic 70's singlefin shortboard for sale: I'm always a buyer...
Here's a random pic when I almost got ran over at Rincon yesterday...

im working on a minimalistic quiver, so far im down to:
6'9" Hull/fish (singlefin)
11' Pintail (singlefin)
7' She Hull (singlefin)
I've got others but that is my working quiver and there really isn't a wave that i surf regularly that can't be handled by any one of those boards...its the best position i've been in...even when I had a 23 board quiver!!!
