Usually I post interesting boards or ones that I think are good deals. I don’t know that there’s anything super interesting about this Andreini on Craigslist other than the fact I simply love his boards. It’s a 7′9″ Vaquero, apparently custom shaped, with a fuller nose (not so sure that I see this here...the silhouette looks pretty standard to me), thinner rails, and a spiral vee in the tail (according to Andreini’s site, stock Vaqueros are flat in the tail). First $750 takes it -- pretty fair price if you ask me. I’m curious if the thinner rails make this board a more traditional hull a la a Liddle, as you often hear Andreini’s hulls are more user-friendly than the super bladed point break machines that take the same moniker. Either way I love the lemon lime paint job and if you’ve never had the pleasure of surfing one of Andreini’s boards this is a pretty fantastic opportunity.

Another cool Andreini up on Craigslist! This is a 6′10″ Bonzer shape, with two glassed on side bites and then a bigger central fin. It’s a bit unusual for Andreini, who seems to mostly favor single-fins. According to the Craigslist posting it has “Malcom Bros Tribute” written on the stringer, and the board is also described as a Mike Eaton template. (Note: not quite sure what to make of this...Eaton is a renowned Bonzer shaper in his own right, so it’s unclear if this board is a copy of an Eaton shape, or if it’s more influenced by the Malcom Brothers...or some combo of the two.) At $700 it’s not cheap, but it’s a cool and unusual board, and good luck finding any Andreinis for that much cheaper.

I can’t believe this Andreini has been languishing on Craigslist for a few weeks now. It’s a 9′ Vaquero model, which is a little longer than usual, given that most Vaqueros are in the mid-length range. Still, it’s such a cool board, and it even sports Andreini’s signature anti-shark camouflage pattern on the bottom. Looks to be in pretty good shape, and I think the board is extremely well priced at $675 (note that no fin is included, and the fin with the board is a Greenough fin, as opposed to one of Andreini’s signature A Flexes). I own a 9′ Serena Andreini and it is a wave-catching machine, and the famous hull bottom makes it feel like you’re surfing a hovercraft at times.

Reasonable deal on an Andreini on Craigslist. $700 gets you an Andreini Pig model noserider. According to the listing there are no dings on the board and the dimensions are 9′5″ x 18″ x  23″ x 17″. It’s got a nice tapered wood stringer, and I personally love the White Owl branding, which Andreini uses now and then. (You can read more about Andreini’s connection to the venerable White Owl brand here.) Probably won’t last long, as this is well priced and Marc’s boards are understandably super popular!
