I know there's a few in here searching for it,I know some of us have sold those very boards only to find the next best thing is not what we were searching for.

Sense off loading my fav' UFO to Kadi I have struggled with board selection,sure the redline is good in small stuff the splice is a great all rounder and the last two UFO's have been average at best compared to Kadi's,so my search continues with a UFO,EVO2 mixup,can't wait for this one.

Congrats on another new board purchase So what spray / tint combo did u go for as thats very important! Fingers crossed this one works out for ya

Will you be at local hangout on Sat arvo? I shall be there from about 2pm.....cold beers in the Fridge

Won't be started at this stage Bigspazz,lime green rails with some black zepra type pattern over the green similar to this.

I like this thread title.
hey guys Sam here - bit light on in the work dept at the moment so actually have time to post a bit,...
got a question for all you long board experts. I am a predominantly shortboard surfer but I surf a mal on small days or when the waves suit. At the moment I ride a 9 foot firewire longboard which I have never been overly impressed with but it does the job.
I am now looking at getting a Mctavish fireball custom shaped at the byron factory.
What size and dimensions would you guys recommend? I am 93kg 6 foot 2 inches tall and 35years old. I will be using the board mainly in small beachbreaks here at secret harbour but also at some longboard pointbreak waves in Mandurah (avalon etc).
Really I just like to cruise on a mal. I leave carving to when I surf a shorty.

At your age, weight and a shortboarder I'd go for an EVO2, 9.1 - 9.6 x 22 3/4 x 2 7/8 or even 3.

I find the evo2 nose rides really well .Mine is 904x23x3 I'm 95kg -99 depending how full me bladder is It's way ahead of the old fireball

go the f/ball evo2 more performance than the f/ball and a great allrounder.Thats what i would own if i had 1 board only .

Thats the eqivelant of two for you cause he has real boards , not that SB crap you ride

Mac, because of the usual family restraints on the budget, I just change my fins around a lot and get resprays lol. There is one board though I am after second hand and that is a 7S 8ft Super Fish II. I mainly want it so I have a quad and something a bit smaller in the quiver. Although I did buy a second hand windsurfer for $120 bucks today and had a ball on it , I am knackered though, I was just so feed up with the small crap windblown waves we have had this year.....

Hey, sepirott, I have a mate with an 8ft 7s Superfish for sale. Not sure how much you are willing to pay but his is in good condition. PM me if you are interested.

Cheers

mac lets keep this to 'days of our lives'

i'm looking at the tv guide(lb forum) and now's there's the young and the restless, the bold and beautiful etc as well days of our lives


you know i cant' watch all these 'shows 'at once- to confusing.


lets just stick to 'macs new board' please, for everybody's sanity you tricky devil

Lacey you the feeling that your next board is going to be the one,I've got it

EvoII behaves well when trimming. Cruises very nicely, but has real sting off the tail, drives hard off the bottom...

EvoII is more settled up front when cruising, and trimming.

PS - I love longboarding! Also love a good tint or spray on a nice longboard!

Now I was sure Mac had photo of you on a SUP doggie or was it pipe fins maybe it was his brother Ouuue I feel a sheep coming on , come on doggie show us yrr girl frend again

Mac - maybe you need to wake up and smell the roses mate - have you ever wondered why you are constantly changing boards ?? Perhaps you just need to ride another brand for a change and see what a differenc that makes. You may find that there are actually other board brands that suit you better.
