this is a cool thread!

Heres mine from memory....2012-2018

8'8 Riviera El Tigre 123l

8'2 El Tigre Wide  119l

...
HOLY I've owned 16 boards......I have a problem.  I'll be signing off to go to Craigslist used board Rehab........

Yeah... this is almost like SUPSurfers Anonymous!  I counted 10+ boards that I have owned or own too!  How did the El Tigre surf?  I briefly considered it because Riviera has been clearing them out at $599 for the last month.  I think they only have a 7'2 left on their site.  Wonder if this is a sign they are closing shop...

I loved both my el Tigre SHAPES...hoever the construction was a joke.  I snapped both in half.  Even at 600 i'd save your money.  I have heard they are going to be no more.

I would say a custom based on one of the shapes with better construction (no cooler foam/Needs a stringer etc...)  Maybe awesome- and folks who has custom riveiras seenm to have had much better experiences

Also- I realized its 17 boards- I forgot my Infinity RNB...which is funny because SurfArfica...who started the tread....bought it for his buddy!

Thanks for the feedback.  I kind of came to the same conclusion and passed especially with the rumors that they were going to be no more.  I saw a video on Surfline yesterday that NJ was getting surf up and down the coast so hope you are getting some!  Spring has been kinder to us in SoCal so far with swells than Winter has...
