Boards, Oh how I love them

I love surfboards, I really do! Not too surprising considering I have been surfing for close to 30 years now. During my time surfing I have owned 60 some boards, yea 60. Boards have come and gone some I wish I still had, like my first board, a 6'6" G&S winter swallow tail. At least I have a picture of it.

One special board that comes to mind is a recent addition from a couple of years ago. I didn't get it my wife did. For my graduation present for completing my masters my wife went out and ordered me (with the help of Bird at South Coast and Steve Seebold) a Mark Richards twin fin. This is an actual board shaped by the man himself. Mark Richards was the 4 time world chapion from the late 70's to the early 80's, a true legend and humble guy. My wife is amazing! I never would have guessed she would do this but she did.
