Fish Style | |
3- Thrusther | |
Shawn Ambrose | |
6'10"x23.25"x3" | |
Well Used | |
Maxed-out PU fish blank, volan cloth, pinstripes, gold metal flake over red, yellow, and orange pigments. Thick stringer. Red X fins are adjustable: If surfing as a twin, slide them back; If tri-fin, slide the side fins forward. Heavy but strong board (how I wanted it). | |
swallow | |
Double Concave | |
Red X 2+1 (small center) | |
Low-rocker (nearly flat) with belly (rounded V-bottom) in nose going to to double concave at fins. Soft rails go hard about 2/3 back. Swallow tail fairly deep but not retro-style. | |
2005 | |
2005 | |
Fun and fast once it's going. Not for lightweights. The board I wished I had when I surfed Pavones a couple times in 2001. | |
Shortboard | |
4- Quattro | |
Shawn Ambrose | |
7'2"x20"x3" | |
Brand New | |
Hand-shaped epoxy polystyrene (EPS) quad-fin big guy shortboard. Dual parabolic stringers that extend into the tips of the swallow tail. Rainbow Lok-Box fins: front fins are 100% foil on outside, rear fins have 80% foil on outside edge, 20% on inside edge. | |
swallow | |
Double Concave | |
Lok-Box by Rainbow | |
Low-to-moderate rocker; rails soft in front, hard in tail; single into double concave. | |
2007 | |
2007 | |
Holds off the bottom but still not as well as a thruster. Phenomenal speed off the top and amazing direction changes with speed for re-entries, etc. | |
Longboard | |
1- Single | |
Masi Sali | |
10'0"x24"x3.25" | |
Battered and Bruised | |
Gordon & Smith square tail triple-stringer longboard. | |
squash | |
Rainbow | |
Soft rails, plenty of rocker. | |
2000? | |
2002 | |
Great for 1-foot days and medium to big soft days. | |
Retro / Single | |
1- Single | |
6'6"x20"x3" | |

Rick Surfboards S-deck | |
pintail | |
Vee | |
Greenough-style rake | |
Up rails in front, down in back. Rounded vee bottom, board is wider in front half but thicker in rear half. | |
1970? | |
1981 | |
Hardest board to ride I've ever tried. Good for fast down-the-line pointbreak. No rail turns, only polish the face with front half of board. More collectible for its transitional place in surfing history than a "rider." | |
Shortboard | |
3- Thrusther | |
Denny Smith | |
7'3"x21.75"x2.85" | |
Showing its age | |
Rockin' Fig big guy shortboard. Standard polyurethane construction. | |
swallow | |
Flat | |
FCS | |
Winged swallow tail. | |
2000 | |
Fun board for a variety of conditions (2-foot to double overhead). More easy than performance; not much glide or exceptional qualities but good aLL-AROUND. | |
2001 |
