Over the xmas break I found some old boards at my mate dads house in Margies,
check this out -








I think Ive shown this one before from my QLD trip -
Rawson gun and oringinal MR

Nice find doggie,I was just at the single fin comp and some stunners laying all over the place.

i had an early mr twinnie.

man they were so far ahead. they lifted my surfing to doing stuff i didn't think could be done back then. i remember doing two cutbacks where i competele jumped the whole tail out of the water, then it grabbed and took off again- a wave i will always remember. absolutely best board ever and then it got stolen out of a surf shop waiting for a repair job.

the shop made me a replacement, but it was no mr and went like a dog

cheers

The bloke that owns them said that the Ian cairns board was hard to ride but when Ian rode it he shredded on it!!

That spoon would be good restored. I had a few of those MR twinnies as well.

You can always get anther one Lacey. I had a look on the website and they do the replicas. I had a 5'10 and a 5'8 but I couldn't imagine trying to ride one now. Mine were shaped by Bob Margetts in Byron from memory. I think they are pricey as well.

i've had a couple in the last few years. a beauty for murry that i surfed until the tail fell to bits and the board lost its 'life'.
funny thing is we had 3 goes at making it again, but just couldn't get the same magic

I guess that's just another case of magic board syndrome.

we need a australian pickers thread, some gems there doggie.
