Hi, Yes, I'm a Yank but lurk here periodically as I'm a McTavish fan for my longboards and have been for a number of years, owned a bunch of them. I was lucky enough to buy a used (but I can't tell) made in Byron Bay Evo II online which I got a few days ago. It's beautiful and reminds me of my first poly Originals 10 years ago that I rode the crap out of. Didn't come with fins so I added FCS g-xq's and a 6" center from a GSI SLX Original I have and yes, I know it's a GSI and not made by Wiz fin. Hope to ride it tomorrow and experiment a bit. Any of you faithful readers care to sell me a genuine 6" or 7" one? Many thanks.

I know the photos are popular so here's a few. Dimensions are 9'0 x 18 1/4 x 22 1/2 x 14 1/8 x 2 7/8. Looks like the Original rocker with the old Jason Blewitt rails, can't wait to dial it in.

Great work and welcome mate.the board looks unreal and I'm jealous your lawn is greener than mine

What rear fin is in the pic's and don't be a stranger we'd love some shots of the US longboard scene.

Thanks for the positive responses. Apparently the board was ordered by someone here in Southern Cal, shipped, had some perceived damage (hairline crack in rail, fixed in 5 minutes) the factory kindly made him a new one and sold this one online. The people I dealt with at the factory couldn't have been nicer for what it's worth, the shop here that had it even delivered to my door. I never expected to have a Byron Bay one, very lucky. Fin is from a GSI Original I have, probably made in Thailand. I'll get around to photos of spots at some point but I'm not much of a scene guy, I'm lucky enough to have regular access to spots with little to no crowd. I live in Santa Barbara, top of Southern California.

I'll let you know how it goes if interested.
