ah yes the screw driver, the biggest abortion of a board i have ever seen. There is another coming its called the....wait for it.... WATEGOES yay (not).....
this is the work of the 2 Bens and no not ben mctavish, R&D into this board u say? HAHAHA
why they didnt ask bob to dig up a design from the 60's instead of this ill never know
i would say this will disappear into the black hole of crappy board designs, hopefully anyhow
Bigspazz,over many years in the same industry,one thing that gets to me is.
Everyone thinks they are a designer,I guess there are other industries with
people with the same mind set.
I think retail is doing it pretty tough right now so companies are trying to ride any wave (to use a bad pun) of popularity to cash in. Do I disagree with it, im not sure? If retails keeps on going the way it is we may not have too much retail in the future.
A well designed product will sell,this one won't.
Heard the next design coming in 2013 is the wench, ball-cuter,spanner.
There was a design by an American shaper called John Peck called the Penetrator Get that up ya
This could be a whole new thread . Surfboard models.
I think the TLD XC Gloves are the cats behind. Get them tight as they stretch but they are comfy and super durable, had ine 3 years and I ride about 2-3 times a week.
Rojo Australia Pty Ltd I belive does POW in Aus, give them a buzz. I believe there are in Simondo land...
Geez man I told you before I'm with you.
Edit- does the screwdriver come with batteries and instructions
One one hand, I couldn't care less, because it's Summer, Daylight Savings, and my son and I call Ginger at about 8:45 each evening, and it's hilarious! Ginger is an imaginary friend!
On the other, I couldn't care either because I'm not financially involved with McTavish Surfboards, and the Screwdriver Template drives me batty!
On the third hand (yes I have 3, I'm a father), I like the colour patterns and colour designs that have been put forward, plus the combo gloss & matte finish sounds very interesting! Template doesn't look too inspiring at first...
But click the link...http://www.mctavish.com.au/surfboard/screwdriver#
Study the "shaded" rail of the underside, and I can see several things that I like. There's nice hips like "The Original"... I would probably just smooth out the square tail... I would really like to surf on one, at least once... Then make a call!
