Hi guys I am sort of new to the forum jumped on last year for a couple of entries I am after some info on McTavish razor I just picked up as a second board super cheap 2010 make Australian made. Anyone got one not much info on the net as they don't make this model now. Photos attached.

Welcome back,the Razor was the best high performance board in the Mc stable many a comp won one on one of those boards by the pros.

Great board for the light weight guy coming from a shortboard background imo or a good longboarder in punchy conditions,best run with a thruster set up or 6 to 7 in centre fin,they have a flatter rocker than the newer Mc hp boards like the UFO.

Get a copy of the McTavish movie titled Moving On,you will see Dave Simons ripping on one it was his go to board.

Hope this is of some help.

Thanks for the info I am a light weight so should work well just sold a 8' so moving up. How do these go learning to nose ride?

Mate a super light weight can nose ride anything imo,however the razor is not a nose rider board,check the video out Dave can nose ride but he is one amazing surfer.

Mac & others,
There's really at least 2 different styles of nose riding.
1) Hang Ten - all ten toes on the nose, on a genuine nose rider style board, flat rocker.
2) Cheater Five Style Nose Riding & riding up near the nose.

The 2nd "type" of nose riding, whilst technically not "nose riding" in true competition definition... but it is still fun!!

My point being, that the 'Razor' and many other High Performance ("Hy-Perform/Hyper-form") boards are quite capable of "Type 2" Nose Riding !!

Looks like a great board....enjoyed the vid

Just cleaned off the wax and re waxed and gave it a clean up all over great board for $400 cant wait to take it for a test run got 2 weeks in Byron coming up.
