Haven't seen one... But is at all similar in the tail to the McT Original.

Are you thinking custom? Have you seen the McTavish tint lay-ups? Hard to go past them! The tinting boys down my way do a good job too. Cusso does the tints for Brownie, and Ian does his owns tints and shapes at South Coast / Flow. I think there are 1 or 2 helpers, but he does a power of work on his own.

Sensational board for noseriding. I believe the board was originally made for Taylor Jensen specifically for noseriding comps in the US (I think)

It is not a performance board and not something you wanna try to throw big carvery turns on - you need to be on your game in order to turn it and set it but then its nose ride heaven and very very easy for anyone to perch up there. The other thing the board does freakishly well is catch waves - its a paddling in machine. The board is also made in some of the best tints you will ever see on a surfboard - truly amazing finishes.

Sorry, missed the last part of your question - the bottom is kinda old school fully rounded - almost looks fully domed if you look at it upside down. the board has the thinnest rails I have ever seen on any longboard. It is without a doubt the most unusual and sexiest board I have ever seen.

I liked it too but I only had 700 to spend so I gave it a miss.
