Yeah don't worry mate I've been jealous with your resent trips taking In The Pink should be a good board from what the guys over there have been saying,I can always hire a 11 or 12 footer if required but it south shore time of the year.

Mate I hope you recover well and soon from that bug you have,perhaps its time to move to warmer parts

Right on the money and showing your smarts again al g brother. It ****s me when mac and peeps post all that shortboard rubbish in the other thread. This is about longboards aye al

Finally picked up the beast

Beautiful mate,looks like she's going to be a trim machine,love it

Nice board Mac and I like the panels You'll catch plenty of waves on that

If there was ever a time you'd wonder if a board was too good to be ridden & should be hung straight on the wall as a piece of art. Well this could one of them

Red 10ft pintail....the board of choice of the ruling class.

Nice looking stick

Thanks for the nice complements on the board. What size fin are you running as a single SA in the 11 footer. They set mine up with a nice racked back tracker 9 inch fin, I've heard 8 inch go well ?

Nice Mac, it's a beauty!!!
See you in 6 months when I can possibly surf again and we'll share a few.

Consistently ride my 11'8" Josh Hall with an 8" Greenough 4A = plenty of fin for these boards.
The board does have the 2+1 option but unless it's overhead it's a pointless exercise IMO.

Once the rail is engaged an oversized fin just gives the board too much of a tracky feel. Mind you my 'glider' style boards are very parallel railed and nothing like Macaha's McT so a curvier outline will probably react more positively to a larger fin depending on the waves it's ridden in.

During the same session I was swapping boards with my mate who was riding my 11' CC with only a 7' Greenough 4A. Keep in mind that the CC is a faster and more maneuverable style board, it just went amazingly well in the 3ft surf we had on offer.

So from my experience if your looong boards are very parallel railed, use nothing over an 8" fin and let the rail do the work.

Thanks Chrispy toning down the art as I get old

This thing

Old school killer colour

The 8 inch A4 arrived this morning and its fitted in board, first thoughts its not a lot of fin for such a big board.

Nice looking board you have there Macaha what conditions do you plan to ride it in and where?

I only intend riding it in the months between Nov too Jan up north,Waimea on the big days out at 3rd reef.


Oh hi oldmal, I was told when asking those questions,southern points in very uncrowded midweek days, which
is very limited so I'm not planning on wearing the thing out in a hurry

As proven by our current state of origin team we are soft in QLD,so midweek winter 20 degrees the water is empty
