Good to have a longboard again Mac
I thought of you this weekend as I saw 5 different blokes on kneeboards...had a really good chat to a couple of them - both made their own boards! Some nice shapes and good surfers to boot as well.....the planshapes were similar to my Sweet Potato but the fins were a lot further forward. They looked like fun when it was clean and glassy but looked very tricky when the wave faces started to chop up. I love them when its big and hollow and can still scare the living shiz out of myself.
Congratulations, an excellent board can't wait to hear a ride report
You're very lucky to have SDR do a board for you, I don't think he does them for everyone.
Thanx OB Thanx Pup its a funny community this seabreeze its tentacles reach all over this big country thats why it pays to just be nice
my number one hate 
buying a second hand board and having it turn up covered in old wax and sand . grrrrrr
Boof just saw your board mate, it looks fantastic and I bet you will love it. Nothing quite like the feel of a 10ft single fin in my opinion. Of all my quiver I like your old redline the best. They just have a soulful feel about them, a throwback to the sixties. I hope this board helps you move on from the Redline lol 
havent got to use it just yet, been out on the new SUP too much, hopefully this week
haha yea its definitely high vis! now to get him out surfing after 30odd years out of the water!
at least if he doesnt use it I will!

my McTavish Original gun , 9ft 6 x 22 x 21/2
Really looking forward to your report on this one tassie. I know Simondo rides similar boards, but I get the impression he is a very good surfer and a cut above me (I hope that didnt come across as a slight, its not).
Ive thought of something similar for when it gets big and the mal is just too slow across the face of the wave. let us know how it goes.
Stuk finally took the original gun out for a blast . Taken a while been mostly riding the 666 s lately trying to get up some practice before the Tassie titles so I don't make too much of a dick of myself
TBH for the first half an hour on it I hated it . Was about to throw it back on the Kombi and jump back on the SUP . Then the tide changed and the waves jumped a foot and it was great . Very different to the Nimbus it lacks the straight line speed and glide of the Nimbus . Best way I can describe it is it's like riding a short board which is a longboard . lots of fun .
