Working Quiver-Winter 2010
Here is what I’ve been riding this season:
Back row-left to right:
9’0″ Chris Christenson 3 fin glider for small crispy offshore days.
6’8″ Malcolm Campbell 5 fin Bonzer ewing egg for midnight full moon sessions.
6’6″ Guy Takayama GWAT for small high tide mornings.
Middle row-left to right:
6’6″ Malcolm Campbell 5 fin Bonzer semi-gun pintail for when it’s on.
5’11” Russ Hoyte Twinphinzer for fun beachbreaks and little secret reef.
5’7″ Rich Pavel Flexdialer turbo fin quad for all around town.
5’9″ 5 fin Thumb for when I need to get my surfy on.
Front:
5’11” Malcolm Campbell Mini-Merk Bonzer 5 fin. My no worries go to board that I love and will never, ever sell. Ever.
Also shown:
The same 6 ft Destination Surf leash I’ve been using since 2000.
Brownfish handplane and off the rack boogie board fins for bodysurfing because bodysurfing is where it’s at.
My awesome Japanese wetsuit I got from Manny Caro.

January 5, 2010How do you decide what to pack? Good view from your bedroom?
Wish you were 6′, weighed 200lbs and were an average surfer. I am losing it trying to scale those up.
Thanks for sharing.

January 5, 2010yes. about the wetsuit. is that manny’s line? and is it a 3/3? and are they costly?
i was screwed up with the pattagonia deal and just got free by selling my time share in a lifetime suit that did not work out.
i need smoothie.

January 5, 2010oh, great post. we all wanna know what goes on when you can ride some of the best boards ever?
thanks.
loving the merk.
Surfy Surfy!
January 5, 2010It’s not an Axxe. The tag says Neoprene Works Japan. I think it’s a 3/3. It’s very warm and comfy. The sleeves are a tad short for me but the rest of the suit fits great. The rubber is very soft and you have to be careful putting it on and taking it off. These suits wholesale for what most suits retail for.

January 5, 2010putting on those fragile smoothie suits works great when you put a plastic bag over yer hands before going through suit.

January 9, 2010Flexdialer – I got one and you guys sent me to a repair shop that told me to go find the replacement Geppy fin and then they could fix it. then I called Roper’s, heck they said come on down we’ll get the fin for ya Geppy’s a friend and we’ll fix your magic board up good as new.
when it truly matters and you want the best, go to Roper’s http://www.joeroper.com/
