Dont buy over priced brands

mate you know what i think about quality versus product. all i know is, out of all the gear ive owned over the years is that board i got of you is superb. that is the reason im swayed towards the mctavish brand,quality product. im bored,think its time for a drink. oh im trading the razar in for my next board

orange and red mark

Here you go Board Culture its closest to camera,has a white bottom.

haha im not getting rid of the beast even if i hated it i would keep her as it is the first longboard i have owned. she is starting to treat me well now,so my love is growing

Sorry mac, been away. Mate that's just a beautiful board, well worth the wait, now I'll really have to give some serious thought to a new redline, can't just have a plain Jane white volane board next to that beauty......

Looking forward to seeing her in the flesh.

That's cool mate,now what can we come up with in the art department for your newie.

OH and you know its all your fault swapping boards that day don't youI'd stay with the same dimensions you have on your current Redline tho

Mate I'm proud to be the source of your inspiration for that new board, I was thinking about possibly dropping 2" off the length, mmmmmm might need to give that some thought.

Mate its still stuck in dry dock atm,Vanders 10 foot has a lot of volume so I wanted one in between my old board and his,so I added an extra 2 inch to the length and 1/8 to both the thickness and width,without losing performance,we will have to wait and see but I'm reckon it'll be sweet

what sort of waves did you surf. was it easy to paddle,dive,did the chicks like it

Well chrispy, the wave was 2ft right hand reef break that was been surfed by some cheeky little groms who kept snaking me! [}:)]
The wind was a light sideshore so the wave had a few bumps on it but it was great fun.
Very easy to paddle. I had surfed my normal shortboard in the morning, on my first wave I tried to bottom turn it like an SB and nearly twisted my knee once I got used to it tho and got my feet right for small surf it was great, really fast and turned really well. Big cutbacks are its thing I think

This is the fin set up but I moved the centre fin back and inch

I tried to surf it from the tail and it didnt like it so shifted my weight forward and back foot infront of the fins and it just glided, really really nice

I know I don't know sh#t about that brand of board you are riding BUT I actually found that my old 6.0 Mcegg surfed way way better as a single fin - from memory I had a 7.5 dolphin in it.

Yea mine is a 8.5 dolphin with the GX-Q sides, with the 8.5 its looks funny as a single, it looks as tho I will need a bigger fin to run it as a single.

When I got the board it came with a similar size Mct branded fin (sticker) so I just matched the new one to the old one, thats why I got the 8.5

I have very little experince with 2 + 1 set ups so advice is welcome

An 8.5 is massive on that board ! More than enough fin to run as a single for sure. As a thruster it will really rock with, say a 6.5 centre and maybe M5 sides or similar. As a single just wack the fin close to centre and see how she goes - reckon you will find it wayyyyyyy faster down the line and drawing much smoother drawn out turns on the face.

Jeepers! Its bloody fast as it is!! I was thinking of getting one of those FCS box converter thingos and set it up as a proper thruster to see how that would go.
No probs in turning it tho, but you do have to have your feet forward, carves very nice in big cutbacks.
Its so different than any other board I have ever owned, heaps of fun. Next time Im over a recon a Greenmount session is required with this board

Nice work Doggie!
