Funny you hated the razor to mate I suppose thats why you dont see them anymore seems like so long ago we swapped those boards in the carpark. The few good waves I got on the 8 ball I loved its speed and maneuverability.

That Razor was not mine but Matts,the Razor was dropped for the UFO model in the range,I still maintain its a great board as the UFO for anyone coming from a shortboard to a longboard as Chrispy was at the time.

Yep probably wasnt a good choice of board for me going from kneelos to longboards Mac but i have to say it was a dog of a board to paddle didnt have any glide and for me seemed to bog in. I suppose it was made for later takeoffs in beachies etc

CW 10 footer single fin does everything the two boards above does I cant say how much i love this board it is so forgiving for a kook like me I just need to get a coffee holder for the front and I am set

My next board will be an exact copy of the CW board above with a 2+1 setup same as Vanders new board

wow, someone who hated a mct board.

DC 17 footer
10 foot Laird
9,11 Psh ripper
Rod krocker 9 foot something waste of foam
plus 5 kneelos here at the moment cause there is so much more fun to be had in the surf than longboarding
I will give you a couple of days to type yours up

i wouldn't remember


my answer is still zero on the longboard front

longboard surfboards - 9,1 Glen Darcy about 12 months - sold

- 9 1 Goddard Nimbus - keeper had about 12 months

9 6 McTavish Original Gun - about 6 months -possible keeper ?

SUps - 10 foot SUPlove single fin- about 6 months - sold

- 9 2 PSH ripper quad - about 6 months - thinking about moving it on and replacing it with a Jimmy Lewis KWAD (undecided )

-9 5 Jimmy Lewis Striker - favourite board ATM ,had about a month

Lacey -Macs question was longboards - didn't mention whether the longboards were SUPs or surfboards

My 9 foot & over count;

9'1 McTavish Original - Snapped, put back together, sold - bought new in about 2001...
- still have these ones -
9'1 Billy Hamilton Hyperform Surftech - bought in about 2008
9'6 Billy Hamilton Stylist - bought 2010 (ish?)
9'6 Dick Brewer Nose Rider Surftech - 2010
9'1 McTavish EvoII - 2011
9'4 McTavish Involvement - 2011
9'6 McTavish Occasional Pin Handshape - 2012
9'0 McTavish Speedshape Handshape - 2013
9'0 Dick Van Straalen Reef Rider - 2013


Too many... probably! Should sell the Stylist... Not getting ridden...

Gezzz i'am guna sound like a pig compared to you boys, except mac maybe. Started with a 9'1 classic mal way back in 95, last one I bought was a Gordon & smith nose master in between them I have owned 31, snapped 13,and a partridge in a pear tree. Not at home at the moment but will post a photo of current quiver when I get back. I have 12 @ present including a couple great old mals. Expensive habit espesilly when you snap them

Well Mr Clown I can not wait for lineup shot - this is going to be good! I hope you dedicate a whole thread to it Snapping 13 of them is a bummer.

Beautiful quiver that, Jas. I just had a quick look at the 9'2 on gumtree. Pristine... I am not worthy.
But.... hey, I know noseriding is a tricky art - but NO wax on the tip? That's just pessimism. It's a bit like Field of Dreams : If you wax it, you will come (to find yourself skipping up the front and hangin' at least 5...)

Fair enough - she sure has looked after it. Anyway I admit it - i rarely, if ever, get that far up the board, but I always think I'm about to!

Current Quiver;

Wow can you send me a jpeg file of that lot so I can steal some artwork ideas truly an amazing collection past and present.

^^^ old Gordo.... I had an 8ftr of him when I was a spritely 18 year old. Did everything a 9 could but faster.
Was 8x 22 x 2.5 I think.... Went like a cat with a rocket up arse when you stood on the back and could easily be nose ridden, I snapped it 3 times before it died, and even then it is still in the oldies garage.

Is he still around, he made a nice board? Last I heard he went Up the north coast somewhere

SupAnimal you are stuff of Legend ..... my god I've spent ages just droooooling at your work .... respect big time brother cheers for the smorgasbord of Porn post .... bravo as chrispy would sagely say !

All those colours hurt my eyes...... You must have 1hell of a man cave..

Thanks boys;

It's been fun, made a lot of friends buying and selling but also lost a wife in the process partly due to surfing / surfboards and our lifestyle.

Got me thinking about the best and the worst so I made a list based on my experiences on them all;

Best Longboard - McTavish 9'4 Redline (2205 build) - I had a few but this was the first and by far the best - was made for Bob Mc himself and seemed slightly different to the rack models.

Best 'Traditional' Longboard - McTavish Noosa 66 (2006 build) - super smooth and worked in overhead conditions just as well as peelers.

Surprise Package - South Coast Stylemaster (2004 build) - expected it to be fun but it was an absolute delight on north coast point breaks.

One Board Quiver - Surftech 10'6 Munoz - If I could only have one board this is the one I'd choose....silky smooth in 1-6 foot and a delight to paddle.

Best 'Big Wave' Longboard - MC 9'3 'Mal Gun' - Just at home on 3 foot walls but bring on the juice and the MC carved.

Super Fun - 10' Surftech Bear Waikiki Special - Moments on this I'll never forget.

Legend - Wegener 10' Crusader - Absolute Quality in every aspect of build and performance - the one I regret selling !
