Nice colours/designs hey!? I like them. Would also look good in Mac's Black & Red Stripes. Or grey & red... dark grey & red.

Hot Buttered did screwdriver tails in the late 70's from memory and even called it the screwdriver. Not sure I really like the look of this one. That parallel plan shape looks a lot like a traditional board but that hip with the sawn off square looks a bit off. Not doubt theres been the R&D gone into it and it works but its not McT's most attractive effort imo.

It does have "The Hoff" look to the template!

BUT I'M TALKING ABOUT THE COLOUR COMBO!
I really like the colour design... but probably on a different board... maybe...

So if its colour that you like please state at the outset to save us having to do some digging on what they are all about - from the look of it both you and Mac and Asea (by extension) have this board completely covered in yr quivers.


An all-new model for 2013 the Screwdriver takes some great design elements from both modern and tradition longboards and packages them together in a contemporary form. The rocker is flat through the front half of the board for fast trimming, with a slight flip in the tail to slow things down as you head for the nose. The pronounced hip in the tail template gives a positive pivot point between your feet, so the board feels lively off the tail. Add a softer, more forgiving rail profile, and an edge in the tail, and you've got a great all-rounder best suited to small-mid size waves, for riders of any ability.

Technical Features
- Flatter '07' rocker profile
- Hipped Square tail
- 70/30 rails to edge in tail
- Vee/Double concave tail
- Shallow single concave nose
- Gloss/Matte combo finish
- Solid 6x6x6oz lamination

yes you are correct as threw does refer to the past tense of throw - so please ignore my previous effort at correcting your english

It's meant to be a performance nose rider I reckon. A bit like the In The Pink or Brown.

The Screwdriver - the colour stripes on the tail are done Gloss, and the rest of the board in clear/white is in sanded/matte finish. Sounds very interesting.

As I said, you could probably order this finish on any board in the range!

I'm sure they are doing the artwork on the tail area for a reason.

When was the last time you picked up a scewdriver in the shed and
said man this looks awesome

I know what you mean Mac!

But, I still think this design would also look very nice on an EvoII.
