As a few of our longboard friends also ride shortboards,Fish and mid length boards this thread is for you

ok here goes..

for the past 1 1/2 year I've been surfing my 9'2'' allrounder with a thruster set-up. I'm pretty comfortable on this one down at my local (Isos) and on weekends when I venture down to Avalon and sometimes further south to Yallingup.

Also, I've taken my McT Fish 7' out a number of times (local scarbs + avalon + down south around yallingup and Bunker Bay) but I have realised that my skills are prob not there just yet.

Im therefore looking for a board that would work as a 1/2 step down from my longboard to the fish. My neigbour recommended a 6'6'' McT Egg ($1,195 for new) http://www.mctavish.com.au/surfboard/egg but thougt that I would also check here..

Any input / recommendations..?

So stoked on this one after finishing it and riding this morning that I am posting in SUP, SB and LB.

Here's a board I made for myself as a 'Car Board' ie the one you leave in your car that can ride a bit of everything.

This is the first one I have done all of the work on (except for help from Dan DMS on the super tricky bits! Also some guidance from the good crew at DMS Surfboards) But 99% of it is my own work.....

I love boards like this as they fit perfectly between riding SUP and getting right back onto your standard shortboards, I try to keep something like this in the quiver as a converter between the two.

It's a 6'8 x 21 x 2 3/4 Single with Concave -> Double -> to vee out the tail. I rode it this morning in terrible waves and it does what I wanted it to, goes like the clappers in crap. I think I found a new best friend! Given I'm posting it here I guess you could say I'm stoked with how it turned out........


P.S, Not advertising my boards as I do not sell them, i'm just stoked to be able to with the help of professional manufacturers make things like this.
