Sorry, just another one of my momentary lavish illusion of grandeur..... result of ddd (dirty ditch dinning).... caused by mmm (messy mercury mind)..... I get that from time to time. Speaking of hallucinations.... I had one of them at about 4PM today at Stevenson...... I was ripping it up on an old custom Team Southwinds board (made in Florida) and 5.7 sail. Weird thing was.... it was a WEST wind blowing 24-28 (according to Port wind sensor).... when the forecast was calling for east winds today.
Of course, it was all a lavish illusion of grandeur.

Quatro's are the alltime best boards. No comparison. They make the best custom boards.

Surely the best board question only makes sense if it's specified what it's supposed to be best at.
Why not specify different catagories? e.g. Longboards, wave boards, crossover boards, freestyle boards, and so on? Even then you'd need to subdivide. (In wave boards alone there are more different types than you can shake a stick at, all for different conditions. The same applies to long boards. How do you compare a Kona 1 with an all out racing board?)
It's true about Rose Tinted Specs and all that. I recently tried my old Screamer (which I loved at the time) and it felt like a load of rubbish. Sad, but true.

Taking the spirit of the TV show (The Top 10) where things get rated across broad categories could work.
i.e. Top 10 weapons of all time talk about how widely used and the impact they had on history
I'd say boards could make this best board of all time for different reasons and it would make for a cool project. I don't envy whoever has to make the list and whoever has to take the flak from the masses afterward for their selection; but it'd be fun to see nonetheless.
From my own personal (small windsurfing history)
F2 Xantos <-- seemed to be recognzied by many in Ontario where I grew up and it's the board on which I learned to get in the straps
Bic Techno (blue) <-- I've seen this board in all inclusives in Cuba, used in the HIHO, used by free-riders everywhere. On flat water, it still brings back good memories to get one of these going.

no, that was the 250. the 254 had a thinner nose if my memory is correct. of course we're talking 1990's stuff right!?
