That's a nice quiver, esp the ones on the right.  I don't have photos of all of mine but here is a schematic of my quiver evolution over the last 18 months.  I still have the 3 on the right.  My favorite is the 6-3 Hypto, then the 6-10 Buzz.   
Home Break: Doheny
Tic Tac v3 (Hoglet): 6' 6" x 23" x 3.6" x 67L
Omni: 6' 9" x 23" x 3.75" x 68L
Tic Tac (OG): 7' 0" x 22.75" x 3.5" x 70L
In The Pink (Incoming): 8' 0" x 22.9" x 3.25" x 70L

My evolution wouldn't fit on screen even with triple monitors but here's a shot of my current quiver. Couple of the wife's boards in there too but I guess now that we're married, what's hers is mine and vice versa? Or maybe just what's mine is hers...?

When I first logged on here 3 months ago & saw everyone's quiver signatures I thought, how unnecessary to own so many boards. Thought I'd be fine w/ just one. I have two boards now, wish I didn't sell my original 3rd board over a month ago, won't sell the two I'm using when I go custom this summer & even want a 10-11 ft 32' wide to cruiser for my wife & for me to cruise w/ my friends little ones on board in small surf.  Can't imagine what my quiver evolution would look like had I started back in 2008. Thanks for sharing fellas.

Wow, nice.  I think the 7-10 in my evolution (left side) used to be one of yours as well ....

Yep, the clearly established rule is a quiver will always be n+1. Welcome to the addiction.

Yep, that was mine at one time. I actually bought that off another zoner, Fanman, so it's actually been passed around quite a bit!

I try to stay at 2 and have a "1 in, 1 out" rule but currently have 3.    I need to sell one so I can start work on the next one :-)

I did valiant efforts to try to keep the quiver down to one then two and then three.
Definitely three is the right number for me (but I do not surf....) flat water narrow board/open sea-touirng wider board/downwind dedicated fully rockered board.
Sunova Allwater 14'x25.5" 303L Viento 520
Sunova Torpedo 14'x27" 286L Salish 500
Naish Nalu 11'4" x 30" 180L Andaman 520
Sunova Steeze 10' x 31" 150L
Blackfish Paddles

Luc, have you paddled your SIC 12'6" in the Gorge or downwind in larger swell? How would you compare it to the RP or other 14's as far as getting into swell. What's your favorite condition for that board? (also what's your weight?)  Sorry bout all the questions :) Thanks
