Tom Wegener Quiver

This is the quiver that got me into logging. The red noserider was the first Wegener I ever bought. I gave up on surfing for years after being frustrated with 6'6" thrusters. Then I picked up a crappy OAK longboard down at RPS in Elwood and started surfing the Pines down at Shoreham. What a revelation to have a 20+ wave count in a session. After a couple of years on the OAK and a second hand Wayne Dean I walked into the now defunct Rip Curl longboard shop in Torquay and saw the red Wegener on the racks. The fin looked massive and they couldn't fit it into the racks properly. The guy working in the shop turned out to be a great friend of Toms and had been in the film Siestas and Olas with him through Mexico. He was raving about the board and called up Tom on the phone in the shop to talk to me about it. I was sold. Walked out with it and rode it alone for about two years. It's still the best Wegener I've got. A keeper. The other boards are a 10' signature model with a D fin, a 9'6 Cruisader that trims like nobody's business, a 9'6" woody that I've never mastered and a very rare board, a 9'0" Joker model. This board has a flat to very heavy double barreled concave bottom and some very subtle 50/50 tucked under rails. They act like piched 50/50 rails in small waves but when it gets to a certain speed on bigger waves the double concaves give lift and the rails ride up to a tucked under edge. Two speeds. Donald Takayama invented this type of rail and Tom learned to shape them when he worked with him. Who said Tom Wegener couldn't shape a modern board!
