Thanks Simondo....that looks like a fair bit of fin there as well - matches the tail rocker - which there is loads of. So what waves range have you been surfing this baby in? With a bit of juice under your foot surely you would still be able to wind it up and make some sections?

I am loving your reviews - as Mac says surely there are another few to come

Heaps more reviews to follow... Still learning from the mistakes.

I have my next 2 reviews pretty much planned out...
In fact, in all honesty, I have about 10-12 which are worth doing!
That will carry us through until early Summer!


--------------------------------------------
On the list;
McT Gun (G2)
Brewer 9'6 Nose Rider
McTavish Involvement
Billy Hamilton Stylist, and Hyper-form (that's 2 separate reviews!)
Keyo Egg - 6'3
Merrick Rob Machado Single Fin (G2 - Generation 2 Single Fin) - 6'6
McTavish Dream Machine 7'10 Step-Up / Semi-Gum (Quad)
Doug Rogers 8'0 Semi Gun, and 7'8 Funboard Quad.

(There's 10 without even opening the garage door for a memory refresher! - I mentioned before that I have a bad habit of not selling my boards!)

Would be good to see how it would go with three fins around the same size.

simondo, the drive thing you have mentioned a few times. perhaps its not the ideal board for your area which has traditionally be know to be a tricky place to have the right board. to me with your comments and details on the vid, it looks like it needs to be driven hard off the rail in some juicy hollower stuff. after all it is called a reef runner.

your thoughts

I had one . It was an 8 footer and epoxy / eps with a similar fin set up with slightly larger sides but for some reason the board didn't suit me. I didn't get to ride it in good waves so it might be better in the kind of waves you get down there.

Yeah, that extra rocker would be OK in hollower stuff!

But it easily has the most rocker in my 9 foot quiver.
Very user friendly, and a very nice board to surf, and very manoeuvrable. But missing some down the line speed - for these waves.

(Good point well made Lacey!)
