Bigspazz,over many years in the same industry,one thing that gets to me is.

Everyone thinks they are a designer,I guess there are other industries with
people with the same mind set.

EXACTLY!!!!!!!! and the biggest thing about these owners is...if they see DEUS or any of those other hipster brands doing something, u can be sure to see it at mctavish a few days later

id kick my own ass if owned a screwdriver honestly

I think retail is doing it pretty tough right now so companies are trying to ride any wave (to use a bad pun) of popularity to cash in. Do I disagree with it, im not sure? If retails keeps on going the way it is we may not have too much retail in the future.

A well designed product will sell,this one won't.

Heard the next design coming in 2013 is the wench, ball-cuter,spanner.

There was a design by an American shaper called John Peck called the Penetrator Get that up ya

They would have made a few and tried them out I reckon. It looks like a semi log with a hotted up (if you could call it that ) tail stuck on the end. The board would work but it's pretty ugly.
No doubt the whole range that are sitting on the rack will be on special soon.

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

said man this looks awesome

The one with the brown handle ?

I want one!!!! Perfect timing as I need some new mountain biking gloves

I think the TLD XC Gloves are the cats behind. Get them tight as they stretch but they are comfy and super durable, had ine 3 years and I ride about 2-3 times a week.

cool I will have a look for them. I just did some hunting on that POW site - mainly all snow gear by the look of it this time of the year. Where do you buy yr stuff from? I normally get from torpedo7 but am searching for an alternative supplier!

Rojo Australia Pty Ltd I belive does POW in Aus, give them a buzz. I believe there are in Simondo land...

The only screwdriver I am interested in contains Vodka and OJ.....

so mctavish really are a machine to make money. i guess i collect old/overpriced skate decks....so old folk do the same with mctavish...plus the people who do respect the mctavish name that these corporate greed monsters are exploiting

One drop in fine for that

One one hand, I couldn't care less, because it's Summer, Daylight Savings, and my son and I call Ginger at about 8:45 each evening, and it's hilarious! Ginger is an imaginary friend!

On the other, I couldn't care either because I'm not financially involved with McTavish Surfboards, and the Screwdriver Template drives me batty!

On the third hand (yes I have 3, I'm a father), I like the colour patterns and colour designs that have been put forward, plus the combo gloss & matte finish sounds very interesting! Template doesn't look too inspiring at first...
But click the link...

Study the "shaded" rail of the underside, and I can see several things that I like. There's nice hips like "The Original"... I would probably just smooth out the square tail... I would really like to surf on one, at least once... Then make a call!
