I'm starting to salivate at the thought of the first surf on that foreign (to me anyway) McTavish Involvement. Wide point back, soft rails, quite wide.... I have never ridden a true "log". Sure, I could have borrowed one to ride.... but it's not the same as owning one, loving it, learning from it in different conditions.... different waves.... Funny that I'm going backwards (kind of), to a remake of a 67/68 classic, so as to go forwards again....
But it this beautiful board doubles as a collection piece.... I know I won't hate it! I have even had thoughts of stringing her from the garage ceiling if I can't find room in the racks.... I have that very strong feeling that this board might be a keeper.... (plus, I hold 'em - not fold 'em, eg. snap or sell is fold 'em). And I think my son will be riding this one at times (when he is older), to revisit that Involvement era.
Note the vastly different templates to the Brett Munro Arrawarra Nose Rider & McTavish Involvement.
I also have a 1.5hr appointment with my local shaper this morning.... Pictures will follow in a few weeks!
