Sh#t, I've resorted to looking into buying a wrongboard. Whenever I have time and want to surf, there's no damn waves. Might have to go down that route to ensure I can get wet when its small. Worst part, they sell used for what a custom shortboard goes for new :-/

Dave , Do you mean like this beauty? Only I got mine a little longer ( I'm don't get to surf as much) It paddles real NICE!!! Also the quad is way positive on the bottom turn - more than a twin IMO. Yes, a true rocket ship!!!! I don't own a "wrongboard"

I have a 5'9 plank of a fish, but I'm talking for the 1-2' on-the-sets days; more waves = more fun and a log might be in my future. A fish is still diminishing returns on those days for me - too much work for what you get back. A noserider seems eminent with summer here.
and I'm usually so anti-logging, you could call me a tree-hugger.

When I moved to Hawaii about 12 years ago I had never ridden a long board before and never even considered it but as soon as I did my whole experience changed dramatically for the better. I am afraid my short board days are over and there might just be an 8'6" + or- SUP in my future due to the growing numbers of them at most of the breaks that I frequent and especially my local back yard wave Noriega's where often in the winter I will be the only lay down paddler in a group of more than a dozen. I have not crossed over yet ,but, the thought is in the back of my mind a lot.

Gotta have a longboard around- for the get wet, at least.
Tiny point waves? Priceless.
That's about it though, for me at least.
One "accidental" mysto longboard session at the beachbreak...
Didn't check it, knew it was glassy and small, really small, and just wanted the empty evening rinse off.
It ended up being the super inconsistent fake out, for those who checked it.
This wave usually doesn't allow you in early no matter what kind of board. It was different this time.
To be able to set up so easily for the tube was just so f*#king fun. Effortless. Fade off the bottom, set rail, zing! !!
Backlit green racers.
The feeling of having so much rail on the face, no pumping, just picking a line, was unreal.
The spot. Different day.
F*#kin a I miss it right now.
Surgical strike coming soon. Necessary.
EDIT:
HEY, I must have posted the link before, can't post it now, but...
Youtube "Aloha Travis"
Do me the honor of watching it, and tell me what you think.
There's some good surfing in there.
I miss my bro, too, right now.

Here's a "mysto" longboard session. We were in Nor-Cal and had checked the south jetty on Humbolt bay. It was pretty small so we headed to Centerville beach to check the beach break. I figued it would be small also so I just took a longboard ( I used to own a few). We show up at centerville and it's pumping. Oh well, I go for it on the longboard. It's overhead and tubing , I get a few unreal barrells as well as get pitched over the falls on several. (servere beatings!!) My last wave I went for a left an grabbed the rail. I was locked in but knew I was'nt comming out . I dove off into the barrell and as I'm flying I can see my board fade under the lip and get detonated into oblivion. That was the last longboard I owned. RIP :)

We've settled into a weak summer pattern around here and forecast be damned I was still excited for a solo surf day afield on Monday. The swell wasn't promising at home or on the drive but enough was obscured by fog to allow me to suspend reason, hope for the best and keep driving to a favorite spot. 1:15 from my front door.
Fickle conditions and the challenge of predicting/chasing surf even on a local level can be so interesting and frustrating at the same time. Maybe more like ice than rock in reading ice conditions, getting to know a particular flow over time...enjoying the movement and focus in that place regardless of the conditions and our expectations.
a not quick enough on the draw snap...
