Only thing I am worried about is the fixed fins on the McCoy.......


Get some hard foam and cut fin slots in it works like a charm

I've told him to and I also told him I would wait longer to do so.

Anyways we will see how we go. I'm nervous with this one as I REALLY don't want it to get damaged.

You should be right Dave it is the longboards that are a problem- the lazy bastards use forklifts to move the boards despite 'no forklift' stickers all over the cardboard packing....

Bunnings is your friend McHenry

Nah it was a case of the better surfer (on the red board) scoring heaps more waves than his mates.

Yes,
It looks very nice.
I posted that more as a community services announcement just in case someone else was thinking of one and this thread had lit a fire.

Sold a board to a guy in Warnambool in Vic, just sent it over during the week and the courier fee was $230.00 from Albamy WA

had some guy in Sydney interested he he had a quote for the same thing, from Albamy @ $150.00??? thats a massive difference.

After those e-go bastards dented my cv2 in transit despite the best bubble wrapping I have ever seen on a board from McHenry I swore (and swore, then swore some more) never to use a courier to transport a board again.
Anyways after looking a the used Campbell bros mini bonzer light vehicle on the Zaks website so many times I think the planshape is seared into my monitor's screen I decided to go for it.
With special instructions to the staff to pack it super well I left it in the hands of the devil...otherwise known as Hunter express.
It wasn't until the board was on its way and I got a tracking number that I discovered the name of the company.
A quick google and onto a review site showed that they could well be the most hated courier company in Australia.
I figured the board was doomed.
Anyway I arranged for an in depot pick up.
So I went to their Kunda park depot only to discover they'd closed it 3 years ago. Still have it on their depot pdf list of course.
Oh oh, now off to Clown town (Caloundra) to the same depot as e-go use.
Bad omen, expect the worst!
Cut a long story short...open up the box at the depot and out slides a sweet un-marked bonzer.
Slap a tail pad on it...that baby is delivered!
So there's hope McHenry!

I don't know about that,the box has not even made the truck and it looks like sh-t I'd open it up but from the loose things rattling around I'm afraid I wounded be able to re tape the box.
