So, Ive done the unthinkable and decided to have a three board longboard quiver. I've sold most of my boards, the ones i'm going to keep are my Thomas 7'11 single fin and My 9'4" McTavish fireball Evo.

My reasoning is that i have basically been riding these two boards plus my 10' McTavish Squaretail redline - which after previously being snapped and millions of repairs needs to be retired. So I'm in the market for a board.

I loved my redline but I'm not going to get another McTavish. I want an easy riding board, in the 9'6 - 10'0ish size. I'm gonna go around a couple local shapers here in NZ over the next week or two and get some ideas off them and i do have a few business trips coming up shortly to Sydney/Brisbane so could possibly even think of an Australian shaper. i'm also no opposed to an off the shelf board, but i've never had a custom longboard made for me.

So i need Ideas, thoughts and suggestions!

Mate get in contact with TB he knows his stuff.

Hey bro,
when in Sydney...drop into Bennetts at Brookvale. Got a great selection of boards from some of the big companies but also smaller shapers. Good to be able to compare different boards from different shapers side by side.
if u want something of the rack sure to find something in there

so is it cool to buy off an australian shaper when from OS?, but uncool for aussies to buy boards from OS countries including asia.

**** i can smell the stench of hypocrisy.
