7’6" Hanel Quad fish from Moonlight- this is the only board not custom spec’d for me; total impulse buy from nights of eyeing SurfySurfy
6’10" Mandala Quad-pyched; just got new Bamboo 101 quads from Moonlight, can’t wait
6’7" Jarrod Oldham compsand Bonzer 3 Bumblee - boy does this board speed skate and it’s light as a feather; Jarrod is making me another board now; awesome dude
6’6" Brian Bulkley twin fin
7’0" Brian Bulkley with belly rolls; this can be setup as a tri, widow maker or single fin. Brian is great to work with. Got the twin fin in record time, had an idea for this board and it was in my hands before I knew it.
6’11" Max MacDonald Octafish 5 fin bonzer
This is what i refer to as my Sways Quiver. Every board here was influenced by something I saw in Swaylocks. I met most of the shapers through Sways.

i am 6’1" and weight about 165- will be 50 year old this spring- i mostly surf the longer points around santa cruz with a beachy thrown in here or there. just an average, jolly, exercize and socialize wave rider- i am happiest when i can find the sandy bottom point near my house working and not too crowded. you can tell by the wetsuit marks on the wax what get ridden the most.
Now who is the count with the stash???
Ah, one hull
Ahhh, twoo hulls
Ahhhhh, threeee hulllls…
Damn Steiny, your wax looks worse than mine- or as bad at least.
All my own boards:
6’0 twin keel fish with trailer, shallow single to double concave (EPS)
6’2 “modern fish” with thruster setup, shallow single to double concave (flatter, wider performance shortboard) (PU/PE)
6’4 battatil quad, shallow single to double concave (EPS)
7’0 double wing swallowtail semigun, shallow single to vee out the back (RR Epoxy over Ice9 Cane)
9’2 “Classic” longboard - three stick, nose concave, flat to rolled vee single fin (PU/PE)
There’s a few more I don’t ride much. The 6’4 and the 9’2 get the most water time.
nj surfer, where are the photo’s? I know you know how to post them. You have helped me enough on some of my questions; would love to see your work. Also, gotta love those hulls. Too bad all the points i surf around here are backside.
