Tell us what you are riding at the moment.
What do you like about it?
Maybe tell us what you were previously riding.
Tell us a story...




I'll start;
I mix and match between;
9'6 Brewer Tufflite Nose Rider
9'1 McT EvoII
9'6 McT Malibu Gun (got the wave of my life on this one)
8'6 McT G2 Gun
9'6 McT Pintail - The Occasional Pin

My other boards are getting neglected!

My 906 McT splice mixer board great all round board,a tab chunky on the rail department at times tho,but probably me and not the board.

The UFO I sold Kadi was my fav' board and one that I should not have sold,two reorders later and I'm close to reproducing, but waiting for the right conditions.

The Redline had a run on Sunday and it was so much fun just trimming down the line fast in low tide waist high glass.

Since having almost 3 months without my fav' UFO I'm really enjoying the bigger boards and have been thinking of going bigger 10 +.

Good topic btw

The 9'6 Occasional Pin Single - well as Bob said, it will surf anything, and do it well.
Well overhead point breaks yesterday, and it was really fun. Today, waist/chest high beachies, some thigh high ones... shoots along in the pocket very nicely, also behaves beautifully when up near the nose.

Here's a story;
Whilst standing in the shaping bay area at South Coast Surfboards in Winter 2011, having a chat with Tyler (of Tyler Surfboards, Calif.), we were discussing rail hardness and softness, traditional boards v's new high performance boards. Tyler summed things up very neatly by saying, "it's kind of like Chess v's Checkers". And went on to explain that Checkers is a pretty easy game, quick to learn, but Chess is far more complex, and takes years to master. Hence Hyperform v's Traditional. Checkers v's Chess. I often think of that conversation, and I laugh at the fact that I have always preferred Checkers, and new hyperform longboards.

http://www.tylersurfboards.com/history/

"Hyperform" is borrowed from Billy Hamilton "Hyperform" model... High Performance Model.

7" 6' midlength (not a mini mal hahaha)

It's the only one I have now, but the story is this is the one that got me back into surfing after around 10 years hiatus yay. I love it, easy paddler, wave count is far in excess of anything I used to catch when I was riding shortboards......

Firewire Sweet Potato 5'10" of late has been getting the most action. Had a couple of surfs on the POD but the new 6'6" has been gathering dust despite being dragged everywhere with me the last 4 weeks.

For me my Current boards are a
9'0 x22 all round LB.
7' single egg, surfs just about anything..
10 ft Tak is for small days
And a 6'8 Quad for bigger days and summer shories. About to be moved on, my mate is in negotiations with me and I'm already looking for a replacement. It could be below 6ft....

There also a few others laying around 2
