Wow, some people have owned alot of boards.
What type are you?
1. Fad / tech nerd: Needs to have the latest, regardless of skill.
2. Insider: Gettin hooked up with bro deals.
3. Fibber: You've seen, rode, or know someone with one of these boards.
4. Loaded: Money tree in your backyard.
5. Most Wanted: Promoting while using, and getting huge discounts.
I am type 6... a surfer who is totally stoked on SUP'ing that I feel like a freaking ten year old grom... I don't have a money tree in my back yard... I have been working my f'ing ass off for fifteen years, five years ago opening my own firm. Three of my boards were made for me by a friend and super amazing shaper Roger Hinds. We barter back and forth and he makes beautiful boards. Four others, I bought on Craigslist, figured out what I did and didn't like, and sold thereafter. Most of the others I bought from Corran at Imagine Eco... (or Kevin his So Cal rep)... I have bought five of their boards, selling two and retaining three. I keep two boards that are very similar so that when I snap one, I will be able to jump on another without a difficult adjustment... and if t is big enough to break a board, I don't want to be out of the water waiting for a board, or trying to figure out a new one. Two boards, I have given away to people who wanted to learn how to SUP, but couldn't afford one.
I'm type six.
