Why surfers have so many surfboards?

From fish to big dogs and shorties to mid-lengths, Izzy Gomez's contemporary quiver has all the bases covered.

I like the quiver. My first board was 9'1" Bing. I bought it at his shop on PCH in Hermosa Beach 1960. I live and surf in the islands.

As a bodyboarder my quiver is a board and a backup still in its packaging.

Cool quiver, love the overall design and color schemes. As an average surfer who doesn’t get loaners from a shaper I’ve had to sadly limit myself to 5 boards ;) gets me out in anything 1-8 ft with confidence

Every board for special conditions, like it!

I’m interested in wing foiling; it seems the best mix of beginner friendliest with big air potential, as well as use in calm conditions

Kool wish could have many. Dont want to be single again 😊. I have 4 boards that cover similar to what you're showing .nice .

I like your quiver because it's not just one type of board 🤙❤️🌟

Very nice drawn out carved on the fish. Especially on that bottum turn. 6'2 step up. I guess if your hight is 5'6 or 5'7.

Good grouping!
My go to is 6’2,
Mid length 7’8
For those dumpout days, boog.😊

Surf industry invited the “quiver” so you buy more boards

Izzy and her brothers main Surfboard sponsor is Rumner Surfboards Eric is a Legend underground shaper. Hes learned and Ghost shaped for T. Patterson, Cole, Lost... and many others. If you have had a Epoxy Lost... Eric probably shaped it.

This is my favourite board game- I use it all the time - the other 20 boards are for my biorhythms.

I do this now with my snowboards. Didn't know this is a thing having multiple boards for different scenario and personality type of riding.

So many surfboards. Each one of them is great

Rich kids. I grew up on Kauai. My friends and i surfed everyday. I’ve been surfing for 40 years. We Never had more than one board. That’s still the deal for most. $1000 a pop. Baby that thing 😅

So happy now that I have 7 windsurfers and can join the convo! And lets not forget, surfing is like a box of chocolates.

I just picked up another bit of history here in North Florida, a beat up late 70's, 6'8" ish, funky contoured, tiny concave pin tail, LIGHTNING BOLT. It's been on a bit of a journey to find me. I might even make it ride again. I do that. I'm old, broke, and broken, surfing more than 40 years. Back on the East Coast, I'm putting an old 9'6" D. Takayama back in the water this year.

The question is “why not?” 😅😅 the only thing that makes the difference is the cost of one’s object of fun… and personal financial possibilities…I don’t know anyone who don’t buy as many objects for his hobby he can… pilots and motor sports lovers have garages full of cars and bike, snowboarders, skateboarders, fisherman… anyone of us love to play with new toys and in a sport like surfing where there are so many different shapes and forms and conditions is normal to be willing to try them all…and if you’re sponsored and have the chance to have them all, why not?

I didn't know they were called quivers 😊
