Three Board Quiver | Andy Nieblas
Few people have more fun in the water than Andy Nieblas. His uncanny ability to make surfing look effortless is magnetic.
While primarily known for his prowess on the nose of a longboard, Andy is gifted on a wide range of equipment. Today, we're looking at Andy Nieblas' personal Three Board Quiver.
1. The 9'8 Walks on Water
The wide tail and generously-volumed rails make the Walks on Water the most stable noserider in our range. This is Andy's signature longboard model—a board we developed with him and have been building for he—and likeminded customers—since 2013. Ideally suited for softer waves like San Onofre and Doheny, this is a board Andy has traveled with the world over.

2. The 6'9 Arrowhead
When the waves get hollow and juicy, this 70's inspired singlefin is Andy's board of choice. A signature model that we developed for Andy, the Arrowhead draws heavy inspiration from a garage sale board that Andy used to ride whenever the situation called for it.
Wide-point forward, down rail, and a narrow tail help this board catch waves early and hold your line really well. It will hold in just about any waves that you'd care to paddle into.
Andy being Andy, can make this thing go even when its not head high and barreling... he seems to have fun on it regardless of the conditions.

3. The 4'11 Sea Kitten
When the conditions call for it, Andy cuts a few feet of foam off and reaches for the 4'11 Sea Kitten. The full outline and wide tail make the this board a tiny speed rocket—capable of generating speed even in soft, gutless conditions.
With his back foot planted firmly on the tail, Andy is able to maintain impeccable control over this small fish.
