    I'm 6'1, 195lbs... and 48 years old.

    6'0 twin keel retro fish
    6'4 mod fish (sort of a "groveler" type quad for under head high)
    6'6 hpsb
    7'0 East Coast gun
    9'3 classic single fin log

    Volume and rocker are key... planshape and length are not the only factors.

    you guys are midgets! Haha!

    6'6" 272 lbs

    7'6" Quad Fish
    8'0" Thruster
    8'10" Mini Long Board
    10'2" Single Fin Log

    I have to get the "short boards" custom. The shaper uses long board blanks and cuts them down in order to make a board with enough volume for me. If you live in North East Florida, check out Jim Dunlop at MysticSurfboards.net, the guy is truly an artist.

    are wrv boards any good? seems like they produce so many aimed towards the tourists that flock down here. I see so many people with wrv stickers, foam racks, boards, accessories out the wazoo. I haven't seen any that I was like "wow that looks like a lot of fun to ride." anyone have some good experience with them?

    Depends on the wave. My quiver holds everything from a Bushman 8'0 pintail to a WRV funboard, 7'2/6'7/6'3 thruster and a fish. Looking forward to being on the receiving end of a 6'0 FCD hybrid thruster/fish in 6-8 weeks. Too bad I probably wont be using the first 3 boards listed until I move from here or board a plane.

    Impressive board selection for a 44yr old (I'm only 4 years behind).
