whats a quiver, what kind do you have if you have one? and what diffrent types are there?
also whats a stance?
a surf tip?
and what types of fins are there?

the big clambouski thinks quiver is not important no pay attention

l think a quiver is the surfboards u own, kind've like a quiver of arrows, its ur arsenal to defeat ur enemy, in this case, the enemies r ur waves, so shred them to pieces!!!!!!!

- stance, like ''are u goofy or regular'' do u surf with ur right foot first or ur left foot first.

-there r alot of different types of fins, just get the simple ones..

- my surf tip to you, is do not get caught a rip current, & when u finally catch a wave, ShRedD it tO pieceS!!!

A quiver is the surfboards that you own that are designed towards different waves and conditions.

a surf quiver is all of the surfboards that u have. like l have a 6'4'' shortboard & a 6'6'' fish & a 7'3'' mini-mal & that is my surf quiver.

a stance is like how u stand on the board. there is goofy & regular stances. like my stance is with my right foot in front so l am goofy. & l usually stand with my back foot near the tail of the board on the traction pad. thats my stance.

a surf tip to u is when u r surfing in waters that usually have sharks in them, dont splash around like a wounded seal or fish because a hungry shark might be looking for an easy meal.

fins can be removable & glassed on. there r advantages & disadvantages of the glassed on fins because they r a pain to get replaced. the removable fins r more common & most people prefer this kind. there r different types of fins. there is the thruster (3 fins) found on a lot of boards but mostly shortboards. the quad fins (4 fins) almost always found on the fish boards. & that one big fin in the middle of some longboards & malibus

i hope this helps

My quiver consits of A Fish 6'0 ,my standard everyday board 6'5 X2 , a mini gun ,6'8 a egg 8'6 and a longboard 9'6. My wife says if l get and more boards she will throw me out. l will miss her

like everyone else said, a quiver is basically a group of boards you own that allow you to perform in different wave types. l have a ''high performance'' quiver. l have 6 boards--that l rotate--one comes in, one goes out. l have a 6'0'' rocket fish, 2 6'3''s, 1 6'4 1 6'6'' and a 7'2'' mini-gun. l have some friends that are pro, and between contest boards and free surf boards they can have as many as 25 un-ridden boards in their house.

A quiver is a range of boards u have for different conditions for example, mine are.

5'10'' Skye Bourton quad fin bat-tail (for small, clean waves & boosting airs) holds in surprising big conditions.
5'11'' DHD single concave thruster - all-round, quick turning board (up to 4/5 foot) - absolutely amazing.
6'2'' V-bottom fish - small wave fun (made by me)
6'2'' MMY rounded pin double-concave thruster - Indonesia board with blocky rails - straight line speed.
6'6'' Q-Stix Wayne Lynch shaped squash tail, flat bottom thruster - all round board - sick in every condition I've ever tried it, but especially super-sucky Hossegor beachies.
6'8'' HIC thruster squash tail, spiral bottom - for big days.

Stance is goofy or natural - goofy is right foot forward, natural the opposite (goofy is better)!! Haha.

There r hundreds of types of fins but by far the most popular r FCS (despite their downfalls). If you're going to travel then it is a really good idea to get FCS fitted because u can buy them anywhere in the world. Your local shaper may advise a wierd & wonderful new system, but what is the point if u snap one halfway around the world & can not replace it?? They will form pressure crack points on the deck of ur board though because they r actually attached to the underside of the topmost fibreglass layer on the deck of ur board (they do not adhere to foam).

Quiver = the boards u have
My current quiver - 1969 Weber Feather - 9'6''
1970 Nomad (twin fin) 6'4 1989 Action (fish) 7'6 2000 Allison (long board) 9'4 2002 Allison (funboard) 7'8 2007 Allison (twin fin fish) 7'8'' & a 2008 Lost SDI l 7'8''.

Stance = which foot u put forward,left foot forward -normal or regular, right foot forward - goofy footed.

Surf tip = take lessons before u start, be a competent ocean swimmer before u take surf lessons, do not buy a surfboard until u r sure it is the right one for you.

Some boards have single fins, some have twin (2) fins & some have three fins. Some three fins boards have fins of the same size, others r called 2+1, with a longer middle fin. Some fins r removable and/or adjustable, some r not. Future & FCS r two big name fin manufacturers. When l started surfing in 1966, fins were very big, & permanently attached, & called 'skegs'

-It is the variety of surfboards u own.

- u can have a long bord,short boardard, a fish,and so on.

-a stance is the way u stand on a surfboard. You eather have left foot in front which is regular ,or right foot in frount which is goofy.

- A surf trip is when u surf some place that isnt ur local or usual spot, & u stay thier for a couple of days.

-Thier r many types of fins, & each fin allow u to make certin manuvers on a surfboard much easyer. for instance if ur rideing a longboard & u want to nose ride (go to the front of the board -hang 10) u would need more of a hachet shaped fin. if u r in to making different types of turns u would need a cut away fin or a normal rake fin.. this is the basic shape fin. its a little more versitlile than most fins. u can make turns pritty easy & still nose ride. u can also have diffrent types of fin set-ups like a single fin, quad, or 2+1 set up. (three fins)
