Know you guys like to weigh in so here goes - surfed my new Evo II on a few marginal days, surfed OK, finally got a quality day today to put it through its paces. Head high to bigger really throaty reef break, got some great tubes. Takes off fine, rides the pocket/barrel on a punchy wave well, but try bottom to top combos and it's really stiff. I set it up with FCS g-xq's on the sides, a 6" McTavish GSI (I know I know but I have a Wiz one on the way) with rear edge of fin 9 3/8" from the tail. My Originals were much looser rail to rail with the same fin setup as well as my old Jason Blewitt, I'm kind of disappointed. Any suggestions? I've used an Original with a thruster setup from time to time and it worked well. I may try that next time.

Hi, Yes, I'm a Yank but lurk here periodically as I'm a McTavish fan for my longboards and have been for a number of years, owned a bunch of them. I was lucky enough to buy a used (but I can't tell) made in Byron Bay Evo II online which I got a few days ago. It's beautiful and reminds me of my first poly Originals 10 years ago that I rode the crap out of. Didn't come with fins so I added FCS g-xq's and a 6" center from a GSI SLX Original I have and yes, I know it's a GSI and not made by Wiz fin. Hope to ride it tomorrow and experiment a bit. Any of you faithful readers care to sell me a genuine 6" or 7" one? Many thanks.
