I'd go a fish, more use from it.

Geoff Mccoy`s boards are avaiable in Sydney, they look a bit strange but go unreal.

Myself and half a dozen mates are all now commited Mccoy sufers, two of them have gone from 2nd round knockouts to placing in the finals in nearly every club comp we have.

Really excellent allround useability, we always say it feels like driving a subaru WRX((ie. anyone can drive it hard and fast and have alot of fun without crashing)) while everyone else is driving formula one cars.((super hard to drive well))

If the conditions are perfect and your in the top 1% of surfers, ride a normal shortboard. If your surfing waves that are less than perfect and you are in the 99% of normal surfers ability then get on a nugget from Geoff Mccoy.

Honestly, there is a huge difference, You`ll remember the joy of surfing again no matter what the conditions are like.

im not from sydney but sell boards up here on the goldy and would definately recommend you check out the mcCoy Nugget!! look crap go goood!!

Hey, I am on Oahu and recently got a 7 foot surftech Nugget - you never see them out here - As a fair sized longboarder (165 pounds, 75 kilo) this is my first venture into shortboarding

As a Nugget fan, any tips for a graceful longboard transition? I know the nugget handles differently from other shortboards, but I havn't figured it out just yet.

Kitepower does have a 6'6" Naish spot on JB. We also have a demo 07 Slingy SRT's, demo 05/06 Underground and 07 Underground 6'2"'s on their way.

The Webber After Burners are very nice sticks... fast and loose. They come in epoxy - extremely light and strong, but they feel different to ride than the poly boards.

If you want a Fish, check out the MR's... very nice boards... Don't go 2 short though as they become 2 critical to ride.

If its just a board for surfing, don't buy a kite company surf board. Get a stick from a local shaper.... they know the local conditions and shape boards to suit.
