Keyo still make a nice board 8' HD foam & Cedar stringer, single to double concave, more pics available as is the board

Beautiful board... Why are you selling?

Mate I bought it on a whim but have to realise I ought stick to longboards and this mint McT came my way at 9'2"...

Nice SB

Love his choice of step up/semi gun for this cyclone swell. Made start to finish in 3 days.

Fair enough...

I'm at odds with my neighbour on this... I have a philosophy that if a board doesn't really work and it's mint, I sell it before I devalue it and use the funds for something I love. I'm all about having a small functional/fun quiver where I connect with all my boards, know their ins and outs... whereas I reckon a lot of people get addicted to the chase and just like accumulating... And I get that, the buying process is fun... But for me, not as fun as mastering a really beautifully crafted board... And I'm broke AF soooooo

New board looks fun dude, hope she goes unreal and you'll have no probs selling the Keyo

Nice, not seen one in the flesh but I know they're supposed to be awesome boards...

Havent listened yet but here's a Surfing Life podcast interview with SDR and Cheyne, should be interesting.

Great listen with Steve, thoroughly enjoyed it.

People bag machine shaping but Steve brings up many many valid points of the machine shape.

CAD and CNC are awesome tools to get exactly what you want.
If you're working on refining a design you can make measured changes.
Then it's up to you to surf it
That 7'6" looks awesome!

Yeah, pretty good interview and really good explanation of the machine shaping process by SDR and it's limitations and the skill still required to finish a board...incredible just how much pedigree that guy has and just continues to plug away under the radar making exceptional and underrated boards... A real legend of Australian shaping just doing his thing...

Some real nice lines here on a Vouch Vish...

Hopefully I didn't offend by posting SB stuff... but technically he's drawing Mid-length lines

No offence here, love my little 5'4 Vish.

Nah....but I would need a periscope to see what was happening above the surface.

Shoulder high fast and sucky beach runners this morning at the local... and Lizzy... actually making me surf not totally crap on my backhand... Mind blown!!!

Fick I LOVE that board... Cant wait to get another





Quick snap from the dunes...

Some nice Vbowls action...

Picked this up today. Basically swapped it for the 7'4" triple stringer I posted pics of previously.
Surfed the triple stringer during Oma and I really didn't gel with it.
My favourite midlength is a 7'6" Woosley vquad shaped by John Mills at the Beachbeat factory.
It's got a nice deep double concave running along the bottom that gives it great speed.
It's 7'6" x 21" x 2&3/4".
This newie is 7'8" x 22" x 2&7/8".
More rocker especially in the nose and with a wider tail.
Photo from the tail is deceptive and doesn't show the wide point forward at all.
Board was a custom order. Guy who ordered it wanted a wider nose. Bumped into Millsy the shaper at the beach and told him he wanted it to go top to bottom well. So he agreed to have more rocker and to pull the nose in.
When he saw the board he said he didn't like it so they are making him another one.
I've seen mature surfers riding boards just like this one at Granite and my local point many times over the years.
They can sit well out the back and stroke into set waves early but still carve it up more shortboardy style than longboard style.
Hopefully it will go well...kinda looks like the board Machado is riding in Toobz's clip he posted above.

Morning wide point shot. Same design brief as a McT Carver but executed a bit differently.

Really nice outline, bit much rocker for me but i don't surf bigger stuff... should be fun though, let us know how she goes

Looks awesome Cuttlefish!!
Looking forward to a ride report!!

Love the black on the deck

You have great taste in boards CF. Looks like it should be a great all rounder.

From Marc Andreini

"...what exactly makes hulls worth riding?

What differentiates them from McThruster?

"The simplest analogy to draw is: There's a hull and there's a hydroplane, the two basic hydrodynamic designs", he told me in April while we sat in his blue Chevy Suburban parked on the ocean side of Highway 101 at La Conchita. "A hull you would liken to a sailboat, which has a deep, rounded curved surface that extends down into the water. The pressure that the vessel has pressing against the water displaces water from the heavy rounded surface of the boat's hull as it passes through the water. It creates forward propulsion.

"Hydroplane, he continued, is a flat or concave surface which creates lift and brings the board immediately to the surface and planes on top of the water. The obvious differences are that one board quickly gets up to speed as it comes up on top of the water, but also quickly tops out, where you lose control once you get going too fast, so you have to put all kinds of fins on them to keep them in the water. Whereas a displacement hull reaches a terminal speed after a series of driving turns, and you build speed from one turn to the next.

"Another analogy is driving a stick shirt sports car, when you accelerate and power shift through the gears to gain speed. On a hull you're driving from one turn to the next, and the object is to connect yourself down across the wave into the pocket and bank off that angle and create additional speed. Unlike a hydroplane, you never reach a point where the board loses control. It's always attached to the water, and you maintain control at any speed. It's a more fluid, natural design that goes through the water more so in the way that a fish or a dolphin or a tuna would, as opposed to taking a flat stone and skipping it across the water, where its detached from the surface."

This Vid is a bit... ... ... ... ... But it does clearly show how the water differently disperses off the rail...

I think this might need to be my next learning curve, been skirting around the concept for a long time of a full displacement hull... always keen try and master something different.

Me too. Maybe we could consider going halves in a Liddle Hull? (Or thirds or quarters if there's anyone else in SE Tassie interested...)

I've got the fin already.
