Inspired by SP. Big Spazz is excluded from this one for obvious reasons

Mine is a Sweet potato that was brought second hand 4 yrs ago. Still works sort of. I keep meaning to give it away or throw it in the bin, I have even made a replacement for it, but I still like to ride it. It has brought me so much goodness over the years that I can not bring myself to depart with it.

I also have a board styled off a 1970's McCoy with straight edge rails that a mate made about 7 yrs ago. Its super fun in 2-3ft point break type waves but it hardly gets used. I lent it to a mate - who jumped off the rocks at Dee Why and got smashed up and did some board damage. Idiot. Anyway I need to move it on - have fixed all the dings. Still goes well. Free if anyone wants it.

Oldest is my Pinnacle 12 months old ,newest a evo2 with flatter rocker 3 weeks old.

oldest 4months both of them

Oldest clearwater hp longboard, two years I think. Newest will be ready next Wednesday

My newest is a hard one. One is new but has been surfed the last 6 weeks since it arrived. The other one is second hand and is 6 weeks old but I have still never surfed it as the surf has been absolutely crap.

So why do you call them keepers

how longs a keeper suppose to be kept.



I know you keep referring mostly to the nano, but i'm not the only one going around that had a change of heart regarding that board. i think the speed of the thing tends to blind you to its other traits.


but i'm not anti nano ted - rest easy fella


some guys a hoarders, some guys a traders, some are too scared to change.



its why the world goes around

Asea where have you been, not W W W ,I can't say that word.

6'8 Rick Jacko Alloy Joy, it has a steel stringer. Had it for 21 years. Survived 4 years living in Margaret River, Great Southern Bombs, 6 weeks Cactus, 9 months around the great ocean road & about 9 years WA mid west. It was my one board quiver for pretty much 15 years. Didn't feel the need for getting a new board, coz I only got new boards when I snapped one & I was surfing good waves with low crowds. Looking back I would have got so much more out of the places I lived if I had a longboard. I can recall so many days with long lines with too many flat sections in between for this board to enjoy. But I was pretty nomadic up until 6 years ago. I've made up for it now with a nice quiver...but anyway, I will never part with this board. Although would have no problem lending it to a grom to learn on, coz its pretty much indestructable
