    Default Do you ride just one board, or multiple?

    The question is simple: Do you ride one board exclusively, or do you have a few boards that you bring out in different conditions?

    Have an old boom and a new lovett, use the lovett more right now but i'll probably use the boom for lines/shittier days.

    got an old exile that's dying but still great for behind the boat, then an old wz that I've thrashed riding on the gulf, but it was a really sick board. Then a carbon and an s-glass wz, kind of heavy but indestructible, for windy days and days with rocks/shells on the gulf. then my new boomy for barrelin offshore madness... but i'm super babyish with it so i'd never skim it if there's shells or rocks

    I have my boom. But I'm investing in Tex Haines fish. There are days when it doesn't break that well, so instead of crushin' my boom, I wanna use something I can have fun on. Fish seems to be the one to go.

    I was riding my concept for a few years until i decided to get used to another shape (exile), so i'm currently riding my small exile on most days and my concept if it's lining nicely. concept is heavier and better for wind/lines while the exile is better for tech (it's a small) and wraps. both boards are kind of beaters though haha

    it's fun having more than one board, but i was on just one board for a long long time and it was nice. you get really well acquainted with it lol

    I only have my medium exile proshape which generally works for me in everything but i think it'd be cool to have an oddly shaped board like a square or a fish to mess around on

    I have a vic foamie that my brother now uses since his board got stolen and/or lost. My baby is a red exile hybrid carbon. Im still trying to get used to it though. I use the vic foamie for rocky beaches/windy days.

    I have my boom but here in Va Beach, Waves don't always hit that hard for me to shred on. So, I was looking into a fishboard to compensate for it. I seen a Tex Haines near my way, but then I was looking into Slotty's and Dude! Cruise. I may go with the custom order through Slotstick.
