you know what boofy, some young bloke will buy it and store it in the garage and decide thirty years later to sell.

hang on, didn't that just happen a few threads ago.

mac's legacy/dna of boards spans many generations.

So what is the design theory behind the flip in the nose of the McT Cruiser?

If they are predominately a small wave board, why would you need so much flip? Is it to keep the volume of the board up but make it feel shorter. Below is what I took from the McT website
EDIT
For ages i've been thinking of getting Bob to shape me a big 10 footer to ride at Wategos when the swell is fat and slow. I went through the existing range, but still wanted something different - classic but not heavy, and not too flat, but still chunky enough to glide through flat sections. I remembered some of the Hawaiian 'beach-boy' style 10 footers I used to see guys riding back in the early 90's at Wategos when I was a grom, and thought something like that would be ideal. So I called up long-time Byron local Max Pendergast and went around to grab his old 10'0" T&C from 1992 (Big Yella he called it!). At 10'0" x 23 1/2" x 3 1/2" it certainly was big, but it was exactly what I was looking for - light enough to throw around off the tail, tons of nose rocker, and a big Vee running nose to tail. It was classic early 90's design, before double concaves, 3-stage rockers and multiple fins made their way into longboards - very simple, but perfect for the waves I was planning to ride. I bought it out and gave it to Bob, and he whipped one up in a couple of hours - sticking with the early 90's theme I even had the guys spray it fluro pink - horrible. Anyway, I've had 3 surfs on it and its tons of fun - paddles well, and is super easy to turn off the tail with that big flat panel Vee, and a deep 11" fin. I think we'll be making a few of these for Wategos, but no more fluro pink I promise. Thanks to Max and Yvonne for lending me Big Yella! BW

Mate there not a one dimensional board you can ride them in anything,hence the flip nose.
Your welcome to take mine for a ride anytime you won't look back,you will put the 666 out
on the footpath for collection day.

I'm still trying to work it out. The PSH 10'6 ### is fantastic in small waves, but it has very little rocker. I have ordered a 9'4 x 23&1/2 x 3 &1/4 but kept the rocker flat because I only want it for small days to try and replicated the 666 a bit but without the broom. I know it will be a lot less volume.

When I get the new board, I will take you up on a swap Mac
