Thanks for posting that one DJ. A nice tune and some nice waves....as for the board to be honest I have never really been a Meyerhoffer fan.....the board looked a little sluggish to my eye and un-responsive. The bloke riding it made it look good though. I would be happy to pass on a board like that - I like my tails wide and fat - the opposite of that one

We'll I surfed his original one and didn't think it was that bad really. I would have a crack on the New one and see how it is.....would not pay to do it though

Yes he does surf well - but he does not seem to have perfected the hand / arm movement of MR just yet...he was not called the wounded seagull for nothing

haha, MR was a inspiration to me in my youth. that guy in the vid with his botom turns reminded me of mr when i used to see him surf around the place when the stubbies was on. he seemed way ahead of the other guys at the time.

'in search of tom curren'h had my drooling too

Ted, yeah I think the board looked to bog down a bit too... Sluggish, as you said. Still OK, but not brilliant. With the narrow pin tail single, it looked like he was over powering it a little bit. Laying it into a bottom turn, and it was laying over too much, too easily...
