How many boards in your quiver?

I am wondering how many of you have a "quiver" of snowboards, rather than just one board.
Different brands, different profiles (camber, rocker, hybrid, etc.), different purposes (powder, carving, freestyle, park/jib), different flex/stiffness, different shape (true twin, directional twin, directional, tapered...).

So how many boards do you own?
Why do you have more than one?:dunno:
Which one(s) for which purpose?:dunno:


And if anyone knows, how do I set this up as a survey on the main page?

Thanks.

I HATE QUIVERS!!!

I believe in one board to do it all. That said I bought a super expensive board this year, so I have a couple cheaper boards to use on rock days, park laps, etc.

Virus Avalanche FLP AFT 160 - Carving, powder, steep lines, glades, it does EVERYTHING well
Burton T7 159 - My former do it all board, now it's my early season, late season charging board
Burton Custom 156 - Picked it up this year used for $145, it's a play board for the park so I don't break the other two

What I would really like to do is find a way to stop wrecking boards. :dizzy:

13' k2 www - jib, no snow butter days
13' DC mega - park, booters, mountain charger

Gunna pick up one or two boards with magnatraction for icier days, a freestyle board for deep days, maybe a designated deep pow charger if i have spare cash before the season starts.

Really want a snowmobile.

2012 DC Biddy 151 for all mountain - loved it for our week in Courchevel, think we got to see almost all conditions on that trip

2012 Roxy Ally 143 for jibbing and dome riding - perfect board for flatland stuff

I'll probably get a powder board once we move to the States, will have to see what's available in 2 years or so... considering the Powder Snake based on what's out now.

Not sure I would call it a "Quiver," but,..

Arbor Roundhouse - 163W. This is the board I learned to ride on and have been riding exclusively for 1-1/2 seasons! So Ive used it for Everything.
Rome Garage Rocker - 159. Flat rocker. I won this board from Wiredsport back in Dec.! Fun board, use it for butters n soft fresh groomers. Not great in the ice or chop but holds a nice carve in the fresh.
Never Summer Proto CT - 157. Bought used two months ago from one of the regional forum members and fast becoming my favorite board!!! I got to ride it in some knee deep POW few weeks back n it performed awesomely!! Ive ridden ice, chop, slush, a little fresh n Pow and I like it on all but the bullet proof stuff! This is the board I logged my fastest speeds on! 45 mph+!! It Needed wax when I bought it, and I only just waxed it for the first time today! This board is FAST!!! Cant wait to see how she rides this weekend with a fresh wax!! 55 mph+????. :D

4 for me
2012 Burton Custom Flying V 158W
2011 Burton Custom X 162W
2013 Burton Joystick 159W
2013 Jones Hovercraft 160

Looking to ween off the Burton tit next season. Have a few things in mind. But each board has a great place in my lineup. I do find the Custom Flying V is my go to board so far.

2008 k2 gyrator 162 - POW stick, Burton p1 bindings
2011 capita ultrafear fk 155 - no new snow, park, screw around board, union contact pro
2012 Burton nug directional 152 - some new snow, all-mountain board, union atlas

I'm probably going to let go of the nug and ultrafear next year and buy a single board that will cover both. Like a park pickle, skate banana, or a longer ultrafear. It was annoying trying to decide which board to grab at times. I also think I went too big with the nug.
