Actually, i'm quite tempted to try and buy that in addition to the CW if I can get it shipped to Tas... hmmmm... #boardwhore

So will having a CW and a Mct in the same quiver throw out the balance of the universe or bring the universe to balance, kinda ying and yang... hmmm

Actually, I probably shouldn't further stir the pot hahaha, sorry

then you can get a Tshirt with McT on the front and CW on the back.

dont put the McT print on the back as you will get knifes in your back.

So I spoke to Steve at CW again today (guys a legend) and 2 things:

1) Steve thought this thread was particularly funny, especially your pics Mac, GOLD
2) Creation of my new baby commences this week.... stooooooooooked!!! yew!

Actually, that'd be sweet... Vanders, you've done some sweet vids with loc , hook me up with some pics/vid and i'll sort you a beer reward.....

Clicked on that Link .... all I got was some bald old bloke (with two gold earrings in each lug) driving a pimped up Honda Jazz ..... it had a board tied on the roof that looked like a McT

But I'm not in Australia now

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but that vid shows an interesting phenomenon that's probably peculiar to all logs or slower boards, especially if there's a bit of fin on them.

Blink and you'll miss it, but between 51 and 52 seconds you can see the board move a little more to tuck in against the wall. Nothing special about that, but what is strange is the it seems to happen with no input from the rider, other than him trimming and relieving weight from the tail.

I'm guessing this shows a sort of "tipping point" where the forward speed and energy of the wave against the fin and the edge of the board, simply works to assist the rider.

Can anyone else see it? or did I just have a few too many last night?

I see what your saying obct, its like the rail hits the wave and is kinda suctioned onto the face. Its the ocean physics of the water flowing over the rounded surface and creating hold as discussed by Tom W in the Noseriding Tips post I made earlier. There is also this super weird fin base someone is using that uses this principle for even better NR hold...

Pretty crazy stuff...

Its probably also helps that Wispy is a dang sweet surfer
