Sorry dont take this the wrong way but that looks nothing special!! there have been shapers all over Aus including some on the goldy and the boys in Sydney doing step rail boards for quite some time all coming in at around 6kg, there are plenty of Production SUP's at that weight as well maybe not in the cheap china siht but the bigger brands are on to it. Stoked Nev has jumped on the band wagon but if i was going to buy a board i would be looking at some one who has been doing sup's for quite some time and has already being through most of the learning curve. Step rails are bit of a love hate thing some people love them most hate them!!

That board looks good , Can you give an indication to the prices for one, Think everybody should get on board with the local productions if they are good value and can stand up to the punishment, Overseas boards seem to be getting better
but I still reckon they are over heavy, you might have to sacrifice strength for weight or do you?

what's up with some of you people- geezs.

designing performance sups which is not that different from shortboard designs. it isn't rocket science

i've heard nev has been riding and designing.


they look good.

one step rails, i've had a few, but the current one will be the last. i reckon you lose to much in handling

cheers

What sort of construction/lay up are they?
Shapes look cool.

P.S There's a button on the left hand side of your computer marked "caps lock" turn it off.

If you lose in handling wats the point? I thought the finer rail improved handling? Why else do u step down rails?

not the surfing part, just the general paddling around with chop, sweeps, kick turns etc.

you do lose volume out there so when the board dips, it stays dipped longer than a normal board.

me, i'll just go a nice rail next time

Is Nev your sponsor that we read about a while back ?

If this board is so good, how come it's for sale in the classifieds already ?

FYI, new is NEW. Ridden twice is 'as new / ridden twice'.

Weird....

Chrispy,Bob does not mate sup's,however some OS factory mates them.
I agree tho,not a fan.
Nev making sup's,it could only be a good thing imo,he made some great SB's back in the day.

Well that sure looks like Bob in the video,old one at that.

How often are you at the factory or have contact there
I can tell you, you won't see a sup in the shaping bay.

That video I got off the McTavish site tonight.

I'm never at the factory, and while it may be true that Bob doesn't make SUP's, I'd say he had something to do with the design of them.

Very old video and yes he designed that sup,his focus is not on sup's,he enjoys shaping unique designs and shaping some of his early stuff now days.I've been riding his boards for over 15 years now and as much as I am a massive McT fan,I have never rated the sup side,have a look at the blog and spoons from 1 to 5,some great stuff.

the only reason used bobs name is that i think the bloke is a genius the point i was trying to make was,you can be a legend s/b l/b shaper and still come up with a **** sup. i do think you need to ride them to understand them. my gripe is shaper being a tight arse and not spending money advertising on here,instead pimping his wares for free

some funny stuff, however i reckon, and from past post history, you can have a plug about something.

personally i prefer the straight up approach then the sneaky conspiracy campaigns -

ie first poster- wow, i saw this guy on a new 'bog log' today, he was ripping



second poster- yeah i saw a guy on one too, does anybody know if they are in australia and where you can get them.


the third or so poster-- yes little timmy, we have those new 'bog logs' in now, but in limited numbers. our team riders have been blowing up on the new 'blog logs' etc etc etc

and so on
