Personally - I'd go a custom Fireball from the factory.

I like the feel of a PU longboard, I find the surftechs too corky.

Tufflte/Surftechs just dont feel right IMO corky as you say cRaZy. You really suffer on a shortbord I recon unless you are used to that type of construction.
I like PU the best EPS is just to light.

I love my fireball evo. It's the green beast in my avatar thingy. Surfing for me turned a new corner when I got this one (edit: 9'3", 23", 3").

Hey asea - McT have a demo original in tuflite and I would strongly suggest you try one before buying. I won't give you my personal opinion on the board - you really need to try one for yourself. If you want some more in depth info on Mct boards pm me and I will put you in contact with my mate who works for them. He can also tee you up demo surfs on anything in the range with absolutely no obligation or cost. I am happy to give you my opinions on some of their range but everyone is so different in their wants and needs so it is better for you to try them for yourself before you outlay any $

I own a 2008 9'6 F/B and its my first Mal. I have only surfed a couple of others that mates have and feel spoilt. I did have a crease incident but other than that its bliss.

A woman not understanding one board can do it all is like a woman not inderstanding that 1 fishing rod can do it all, here is is one for them why cant 1 kitchen do it all?? [}:)]

I'd use shoes and hand bags before the kitchen as examples - you might get a little further IMO

Yes agree, I had one for trip to Bali and it sucked too corky and it was flicked within a week of returning home.

The Original is a great board Bob Mc rides his most day's and I hear great beach break board.

I have played with mc's for years and I love the custom FB from the factory.

If you want to rip in the Razar is a weapon which is new to my quiver and very happy with it,its needs a little grunt to get it going unlike the FB which is my fav all time board.


Looking ok for the weekend asea
