Was swap my Tuflites for this board ,everybody laughs at the fin but it works it turns it nose rides it catches waves .I've ridden it in up to 3ft no problem but it really loves 1ft pipe .
I've just ridden it 2ft @the Pipe this morning had some smokers .
So it's a Surfline Electraglide 10'24"31/2" Not a Mct but I gotta say Roger Hall is up there with Bob .Might have to give some thought about getting the man to make me a new one .

Hope it goes well TB.

Because it will never win any prizes for beauty.

Have fun.

ET.

Sweet stick towball. I think it looks very nice. Some better pics off the stringer and tail block wouldn't go astray

Love it. Love the look of it too.
BUT . . . I still bet it would go better with a nice big dolphin fin in it.
I base my claims on being a regular reader of this forum and therefore absorbing vast amounts of wisdom from my fellow geniuses.

is that greenstone TB

No I don't know what it is you can see through it maybe just resin , I wondered about the block behind it native timber of some sort .$2500 for a new one .makes a Mct seem cheap

You are right....they are overpriced...yet you and the gang keep going back for that ;brilliant marketing machine...Bob just wishes you all bought boards from him....then he would still own his own name...bit late for that now I guess

Ummm TB how about some power washing of that block work in the background mate
you know i love looking at your photos,what was it last time..... gizzies jocks

Rumour getting around is mct's are 2k got to laugh especially when you know who has been spreading this misleading information.

;oooh misleading information,tell us more Mac...2000g for a popout stuff that....Mac surely you will spend the coin and get a proper handcrafted mctavish....not just waste your money on a marketing spiel from the two Ben's?

62mac said...
Go have a chat I'm 100% sure you will change your view,until then I have nothing to add,is all this coming from you?

You know im simple Mac....fill in the gaps for us.....a mctavish board costs how much?
And a board actually shaped by Bob mctavish costs how much?

Just trying to split the difference between a ridgey didge Bob mctavish board,or a Ben Harper/Wallace board?


I know who shapes my boards,plus no discrepancy in rails either...

Not bagging your mates,just saying

Nice looking board bro!

Thats a bit harsh ET He could always throw some nice coloured wax on if he was really feeling the need. I think it looks like a ripper of a board. Perfect for those small beachies. Not sure how it would go at Pines on a 4ft day but then I am pretty sure you would be choosing something else from the quiver then TB !

TB,
Beautiful board mate! Lovely fin too.
I didn't read all of the replies, but my mate Doug talks about "Fin Shadow". What you have is a big "D" Fin, with a big cut-away.
But your D-Fin has modernised Greenough influences... Can't go wrong with some Greenough influence!

Also keep in mind that fins are often called "salt-and-pepper"... You board, template, volume, rocker, rail shape, etc, and "The Main Course"! And fins add some lovely "salt-and-pepper" to that main course! If you have a "crook" dish, then "salt-and-pepper" only improve it slightly...

Sounds like you have a lovely "Main Course", and fine grade salt and pepper!
