A sweet range of tints, from 27 Feb...
Surfing Australia Awards Night, 21 Feb
www.mctavish.com.au/_blog/McTavish


A new "board of the month". The Step Deck. It's been on the pages for a little while, and this example (on link) is a very sweet board.
http://www.mctavish.com.au/surfboard/step-deck

Reading between the lines, I think this board has modernised rail hardness , but old school single fin appeal, and old school tints and templates, and some Vee thown in for Free!



That range of boards posted on 27 Feb.... SWEET!

No Sh!t. The Blue Speed Shape is birth of my next board.
I'm gunna get a similar one made, but not so much of a "super pin".

Rails are a bit too soft also...

Either way, I'm gunna clean out a few neglected boards, and get a board similar to the Speed Shape. The Speed Shape is one of Bob's handshapes. So it's actually got different bottom lines to The Tracker.

I'll off load about 5 boards...
Channel Islands 6'6 Generation1 Single Fin - Light Green Tints - $450
9'6 Billy Hamilton Stylist Tufflite - $500
Channel Islands 6'6 Generation2 Single Fin - Clear - $380
Ditto - in a 6'7 - $380
Plus others...

Looks very playful out there! I would love to surf it like that with only 3 people.....

Lots of new camera angles by the look of it - seems a more professional approach. Lets hope the commentators do not ruin it.

Different stokes for different folks Chrispy.

The Mct make really smooth longboard designs, which is something I like in a longboard but not a midlength. Others who are real stylists will love em.

Unfortunately I have no style.
