First up my apologizes if people have been offended with my behaviour the past few days.

However after months of brand slander or mac slander I'm not sure which one or both.I'm
not one to sit back and cop sh1t from anyone,why should I.Yes I've heard the story that I think
I own the forum well that's BS.I may post a lot of rubbish however I don't go around slagging
other brands on a public forum,if I do not like the product I simply don't comment,some have said
give it back but I have respect for a certain board manufacture to do that.I've said this before there
are many lurkers who read this so be warned.Grow some balls and put some words behind your disapproval.If you don't like me post mctavish stuff well say so,it will save me time,yes I like a good looking board but I also ride then and am always looking for some refinement.So don't go calling me out on this one.Fact is many would spend more money on a night on the piss than what my change over is after trade.

I'll leave it at that and let you guy's make up your own minds,at the end of the day I don't give a rats,its only a forum
take it or leave it as many have recently.

im sorry

If you're in Geelong or Torquay, come down to Surfworld Torquay on Friday the 29th, at 7pm. There's gunna be a bloke telling some tales! ... Bob McTavish.

I'm bringing some boards for back-drop display.



(Well said Mac)

Well Mac I am sorry there are nasty boys out there .

I was told some time ago on the General thread " if you don't like the content then don't read it".

Pretty good statement really.

Anyway to all you nasty boys out there, don't be nasty it's not nice.

ET.

... get a GODDARD up Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 007

Guys, its surfing we are talking about. The thing we like to do to get AWAY from the politics.

Cmon boys, group hug...

I love mctavish boards I just wish I could afford em!!
Am I wrong, or have the prices of his boards got even higher this year....I swear last year they were at least 300 cheaper?

I've got nothing

Things can get a bit frayed in here from time to time and I have buts lets remember what we're all here for and thats to talk about surfing , boards, travel, waves and everything from weight loss to reality TV. This is a really good section and even though I'm on a 666 now I would rather be in here.Good crew . Enjoy.
P.S I dont do reds.

Geez you've got big mantits for a little bloke

Once again you don't care Mac,but you start another one of these threads.
I don't bag mctavish,I have even said on numerous occasions that are a well made product.....but my opinion is very clear that I believe they are just rehashed models from the past. That they are very user friendly boards for people learning to Surf...that mctavish is a company that trades of great man's name,it is a money maker for the two Ben's. Bob is just a employee,along with the others,he is just more valuable to the two Ben's because he adds some credibility to the business,and punters get to meet him and have their books signed,or even a pick taken,I have done that myself.
But the way you go on about it is laughable,maybe the lurkers need a voice that is not brainwashed haha.
So before your next meltdown and you fire accusations at people,read what you have posted first.

Go and Surf more and bring back the jokes,,,,,and yes I still think my log pic was funny

most intelligent thing you have ever said

Mac, when I'm older, and when you're really old, I'll come and pick you up at the retirement village, and we can drive down to Byron to watch some Longboarding.

This will help get you in & out of the car!

Seriously, it's a great idea huh!? They should sell it out here... (This in on the Japanese site)...

It's probably good that Bob doesn't have to worry about running the business though. I know for sure that he is very happy within himself, and where he's at in his life, and what he has done. And he genuinely enjoys pottering around the factory, free-shaping, and snatching free T-Shirts, leggies, and wax. And getting his personal boards laminated for free!

"I don't bag mctavish " really ? I've read some crap on here at times but that takes the cake . All you have done is attack the brand , so to make that statement is just taking the piss . Bob's just an employee yes he is but Bob is a peace of surfing history not a lot of others that have done what he has tuff if you don't like it cause it's a fact. I've seen you do a bit of pimping for Clearwater , well if I was the owner of that company I'd be kicking you for touch after the crap you have put up here . Go on ya wankers red away.

Once again sorry to bring this to a head which is long overdue. Chrispy what would do if someone started bagged the sh1t out of Steve,would you sit and take it after months of bagging? Knowing you I'd put money on the table you wouldn't. Some of your post is correct however another little dig stating mctavish boards are for beginners,how long have you been longboarding three years max and you want to bag a legend and the brand he formed.

A opinion is different to attacking something. Read what I have said,so what you are saying is a load of crap.really. What you say is funny,re-read my post again. ****ing brainwashed fanboys,worse than spoilt children. Now use your brain and think with the logical side of it,not the one with your emotions,it might all start to make sense. Kick you to ****ing touch

Well said Mac - always refreshing to read people's words with passion behind them.

Be wary of Chrispy - he's an old Cronulla Point boy...apparently (still waiting for pic confirmation)

...as for Doggie ? I've got nothing there.

Stay stoked Mac.

More teacake type posts not this rubbish . Sorry boys but I just shake my head at these threads.....

Mac I stand by what I have said. Mctavish are very user friendly boards,great for beginner's. if people want to bag SDR that's their choice,but if you do bag someone have a opinion to go with it,then people can make their own mind up. I am the first person to say Bob is a legend,but what I say is not attacking Bob. It's you blokes getting all hot under the collar defending something that is not true. The mctavish BRAND is a moneymaker for the two Ben's. Don't put Bob along side those blokes. For sure be loyal to the man,but to defend a brand is stoopid. Just read the passion that towball came out with,that's why the two Ben's kept with the mctavish name,to make money out off loyal people,fantastic marketing. But don't kid yourself with what Bob and those two have in common.
