Occasional, like a macchiato... I usually drink flat white but I occasionally like a macchiato.

Well I won't bother sharing the discussions regarding the beast I had today with one if not the best shaper/designer in Australia and the difference in performance between a rounded pin too the occasional pin.

Lacey I've retired the cruiser for super small days only,I've been getting lazy,so its back to the mctavish 9.3 or the mctavish 9.6.

(Mac) Give me a call tomorrow buddy! I've given Bobbie some OccPin feedback. Awesome, and diverse board...
My Occasional Pin is the best board I have ever owned, and it's only a Single Fin! Imagine it with side biters!
The one thing it does, smooths your style out, makes you draw the turns out. Like average waves, but excels in good waves.
Mine is glassed semi-heavy (Volane), so it goes well on the windy days too. You need a little bit of extra skill on the odd occasion though, to manage that momentum weight...

Yep the O pin is the same as on the cruiser model I'm a massive fan,wait tell you whack a 7 or 8 center and small bites to your speed machine,however I'm going for the 08 rocker, Simondo you would be aware of the difference being a well educated Man between the 07 and 08 rockers

Your right mate I've been talking to a few guys and they are all saying the same,no wonder I've been having trouble on the 9.3 which was my go too board.

Yep I'm going to HTFU and rack the 10 footer for a month.
