"What size NPJ quartet (friend has one for sale) and what size RTT (may have one for sale) are you thinking? I also happen to have a pacer (Matt Keane pre-shape) quad fish that has an egg nose and chine rails and lastly a DVS quad wasp which could be available."

Was thinking 606 for the RTT and prob the same for the quartet - depends if NPJ can do a flat deck for the quartet. What size quartet is for sale????

I can go shorter however I like to err on the side of more volume. Wave count is key...

have you had the RTT out yet? Are you selling this after 1 day???

Who knows??..... Seriously.

Just talked to my mate who had the NPJ quartet which he sold at lunchtime but no loss for you it was only 5'10".
He was underwhelmed by its performance and likened its ride to a single fin.
He has a rtt that he loves and more recently had a cv2 made for him.
Gary doesn't pack a whole lot of foam into his boards. My rtt is 6' X 21" x 2&3/4" and although it has foam under the chest and a fairly flat deck it thins out in the nose and tail. Sitting in the water with the board level underneath me (I'm 90 kgs) has me floating at my middle ribs.
To be honest I'm not that comfortable being that submerged and prefer boards that float me more at my bottom rib (like my nano or McCoy at 43.4 and 42 litres respectively) so the rtt is probably only 38 litres or less.
It paddles well enough and felt good, with potential, on some low tide beachies yesterday morning on the gold coast which were breaking and then filling up.
I'll see how it goes in decent waves but bit concerned my wave count will be down enough to pick other boards over it because of that.
That will decide its fate.

These are the ones I still surf. Let's count:
5'10' twinny Murray smith
another 5'10" twinny Precision Equip
6' twinny Neal Purchase Jr.
6'6" single to double thruster Yahoo
6'6" single to double thruster Katana
6'6" single to double thruster with vee Precision Equip
6'6" single to double thruster with vee and more tail width Precision Equip
6'6" reverse vee thruster Al Bean
6'6" six channel thruster Al Bean
6'6" single to double with more volume thruster Yahoo
6'6" quad fish thing Bruce Montgomery
6'4" quad fish thing pop out Greg Webber (the Gutter Lover and the worst board I have ever owned)
6'10 semi gun Precision Equip
6'10" sumo like thing the Fountain of Youth
7' single fin Yahoo
7'2 gun Precision Equip
7'2" semi-gun Precision Equip
8' semi-gun 2+1Yahoo
9'4" longboard Yahoo

Surfed all of them at least once in the last year. They all go different and because of poor board selection skills in the car park I now pick one at home and go to the beach and make do. I hate choosing a board, paddling out then realising I should have grabb d the one I left in the car. With only one board I never get that disappointment or analysis paralysis.

off topic and tied of laying around the house.

but you blokes amaze me.
for the life of me i can't remember board lengths widths thickness like some of you blokes.
but id also struggle remembering the measurements of a favourite lounge or old girlfriends underwear sizes.

as you were.
