I owned one or two ok make that 3 good performance board,at the time they had team riders who spent a lot of time surfing indo,they released a movie which the UFO featured,I've got it somewhere,I think it was titled MOVING ON.It was dropped from the range and replaced with the EVO.
I personally think 900 is too much,,700 maybe for a board of its age. You can still order a custom UFO from the factory.

The UFO was the replacement for the F4 which was had a quad set up I think.

Yep. I have had one of those. Loved it. was good in anything from 1ft to 6ft. The guy I sold it too loves it as well and has been his go to board ever since. Should never have sold it.

McT just seem to get the recipe right. I don't know why they stopped making it.

Can't comment on the price

Cheers guys, I was actually thinking 700 max would be value too, considering it's around 10 years old and could see few big pressures on bottom
pretty sure mctavish was charging way less for a longboard about a decade ago compared to current as well

I spent $600 on a 9'1 fireball in about 2004 ofF EBAY.

Its smashed to pieces now and o need to replace it but I don't have the domiros. The dims are very similar and I agree that Macs boards do just keep giving. Surfed solid 8ft and can cheat 5 with spead on a thin pin . I'd plead to buy at $800 max that I would ride it but I'm not in WA.
