Back in January I stumbled upon this little community and with the intention of rejoining the surfing world I posed the question of what new board to buy.

Very generously I received around 40 replies and after weighing all things up put an order in for a McTavish Fireball

Dimensions are 9'6"x23"x3" and as the saying goes pics or it didnt happen heres the new stick.

Rode the old Egan today. I took delivery at midday at the Taree service centre. Swells been red hot all week but looks like tailing off for the end of the week, had probably the best surf since I took it back up today.

Thursday is motorbike riding day ,so I'll likely wet the babys head Friday.

Nearly missed your question, dont want to look rude, yeah my choice of artwork, came out even better than I thought the colours are really solid.

Such a shame to cover it up with wax really.
