It doesn't really worry me, they seem to be a bit too high performance for the likes of me.

I've never seen one that that looks cruzy or big enough for a slow fat turd like me.

Only if we are trading vanders,as mct have a fixed retail price.
We could haggle some free stuff.

I have a game plan for tomorrow,check the surf which should be good at LM way.
Then grab two trades from home and head to the store,with figures already in my head.

BTW vanders,is that your old FB in your profile pic

Are you aware that if you order your Mct custom from Ripcurl its $100 cheaper than getting it through Mct and Dukes

No but thanks I'll try that on the boy's tomorrowBut I'll stick with the guy's who have looked after me for years now and what if the Ripcurl sales staff gets it all wrong? are they a surf shop or fashion outlet like all the other big brand stores.

And I would appreciate it if you drop my name as the one who mentioned it NOT.
Just outta curiosity - what other brands of longboard have you ridden in the last five years - other than Mct ?

to name a few.

I've never had a problem with any mctavish board with quality and am more than happy to pay a little more for it,I've owned four 4wd's and all the same brand.I guess if your on a good thing stick to it.

Sounds like you guys have had a few already!

Just got home with my repaired board and it looks not too bad ... my eyes remember.
Had a long chat with the shaper and he took me through his shop. He just had some blanks delivered and they look just like ordinary polystyrene foam to me. No stringer (I guess that's his job) but I thought the foam would have been more dense.
Anyway, looks OK and will get her in the water Sunday while the missus is at church.
Also noticed he had a GSI McT FB in there with half it's nose missing ... some poor bastard will be a tad upset.
