I think the bigger issue would have been the paddle out and dodging the bombs on that board... But yeah, takes talent to do that.

I was talking to our Uber driver last night who surfed Kirra on Sunday he said he paddled out from greenmount he said you could almost walk out and not get hit by waves I don't know how that happened but I'll take his word.

On another note the council had a guy on kirra hill taking pictures of all the jet ski rides and they have fined every one of them from not wearing jackets,going over 6 knots being to close to surfers.

Hahaha... That's awesome!!!

They totally should have to get permits for that so they can control the amount in the water... especially at the times when the paddle guys were out.

Andy I'm not a fan of ski's but these guys all sat way wide were nobody was paddling in so it was fine,Mick Fanning has a Red Bull ski which stands out like dogs nuts

A few paddle in guys got in trouble so these ski guy went to their aid.

I get that, and yeah, maybe get out and issue some warnings first... But I know the Hawaiians are all about controlling who is out on these big days and not just letting any shmo get out there with a ski... I guess my view is tainted as the jetski guys down here are all narcissistic f-wits who are just really dangerous around families and swimmers and the authorities rarely do a thing...

Yes received this big beast yesterday. Looks good except for the damage on the tail courtesy of the freight company. Should provide me with lots of fun. Some breezers may recognise the board and thanks to Mac for going for a drive and scoping out the board for me. Most appreciated.

Congats McHenry and I agree the Cruiser has a beautiful outilne. My argument with mctavish at the time was they called it the wrong name its a real performer great board to ride.

Happy to help out McHenry it was too easy since it was not far away,great score.

Now since Vanders was the king of glide well way back in time and has since retired from all forms of surfing,its up to you to take over his legacy. It shouldnt be hard McH all you need to do is surf once every 3 to 6 months and the crown is yours

Perplexing really as MCT are generally very good with Marketing but the board doesnt appear as a "Cruiser" at all... very strange

I heard the original concept for the cruiser was for a guy in Victoria who wanted a board like that for big winter waves. Could be wrong but that's what I heard. I think their was a blog post about it when they released the board about the background of why they designed it.

Umm not sure. The board has black stripes on the bottom that when I went to get the ding repair the ding guy said it was under the gloss coat. Then he rang me today saying they were added on after and could sand em all off for 50 bucks but couldn't guarantee they'd be done for Saturday. I told him to go for it and have a ummm.....few other boards I could use, so we will see.

McHenry nice board, the guy who originally owned it had the shark deterrent stripes put on which ruined the look of the board in my opinion so I say go for it remove the stripes good luck

Yeah totally agree Asea, bit too bumble bee for me. The ding guy said t was only proven to be some what useful when it is a specific pattern which that wasn't.

So he'll sand with 800 then 1200 and all good!

Maiden voyage on the new cruiser yesterday morning. Surf was predicted to be small 2ft and offshore and Saturday was supposed to be the bigger day but the swell came in later than predicted and when we got there we have 3-4ft pretty solid surf on the set waves. As I am a very average surfer 4 ft is big for me. Anyways got out there and settled in and caught a few waves on the board and it felt great and then caught the biggest wave of my life as the last one and have never gone so fast in my life on a board, what a buzz, super stoked and very happy with the board!!

Looking to try it was a 2 plus 1 next.

Pretty sure I was surfing that neck of the woods yesterday. Size wise it was a nice surprise arriving on sunrise and bloody fun conditions for what's an otherwise average wave.
