Your favorite type of retro surfboard

[cam75]

For a School assignment I need to establish what the most popular type of retro surfboard is, because I am going to build a carbon fibre/epoxy/PVC foam board
Options are:

• twin fin
• 80s retro thruster
• pintail singlefin
• egg
• bonzer
• whatever else you deem retro - i dont really care

as part of the design process we have to establish what is the most popular shape
thanks

bonzer, love it, I'm seeing more and more. You probably already have seen these sites but I'm going to post them just-in-case.

Campbell Brothers Surfboards <--- not the site it used to be but Campbell Brothers was the bonzer I rode 6'3 I think, glassed on fins is like meth, hard to stay away from.

Please keep me updated and post pictures if you can.

I also rode a Aviso Lost, my friend claimed it as his favorite and he went through Firewire, Bushman, Channel Island, Webber, Minami Infamy and I think a SDIII JC all non surftech. Aviso lasted longest and went through nearly 2 fin blow outs last one was when we were comming in after the sunset, he couldn't see where he was and ran dry. I think hes trying an Aviso Cole, hes hooked on the carbon fiber but feels guilty for the manufacturing process.

I'm a little behind in the current technologies but the last cutting edge tech was Coil boards from WRV heres a article on the tech behind the boards http://www.eastcoastsurfer.com/reviews/coil/index.html
Good luck, future shaper what coast are you living near?....I will gladly pay you for a custom once you feel comfortable with your work. Keep in touch, Aloha.
