Great shot of Dave gunning nuts,oh would the other thing saving me be the six Macs in the shed .

i've had a good look at these boards again. they just might be the ticket for a heavier types-ai little bit for competition for one part of the new naish range.maybe some of us only see the type of board we would ride and don't think beyond that
just a second impression of mine

Just for the record McTAVISH DON'T COMPETE - THEY LEAD !!

Maybe though, having the oz pedigree they will finally be a production board that was made for oz conditions ?? wouldn't that be refreshing.

FirstPoint, are you serious about a McCoy SUB? I think if anyone would know how to get a high volume board to perform it would be Geoff. His loaded dome bottom shapes work unreal in real world waves, Didn't think he would be into SUBs but hope he is, Couldn't see him hand shaping then as he can't keep up with the demand for his regular boards. not sexy looking boards though so don't know how they would sell in the fashion concious SUB market

As for Mctavish, he's beeb riding/shaping SUBs for years now, Keep your eye out for him Dogman, he surfs the rivermouth Nth of your place abit, very humble man willing to have a yarn with anyone (may be the Jo Vo thing) Has a unkanny nack of turning up at out of the way spots when they are on. Far from a band wagon jumper IMHO.

i have heard from a few crew that stay there that he has been down there a few times

and seen a few sup boards laying around in front yards when ive been there in the last few months

the drive up the beach from here to the river mouth is washed out heaps so it leaves a small window to make it home

scored the little left in the mouth a few times as well as the right coming off the island to the beach

magic spot

ive got an ancient 6ft swallow tail single fin with flyers shaped by him that is waiting to be restored

On a recent topic on Standup Zone, Blane made a very strong point that he didn't think volume played any part in his thinking when designing and making custom sups.More inclined to the old surfing length, width & thickness as his prefered method for determining surfability.???!!!Rod Hocker uses volume contantly in his discussions for the best custom fit.I do know one thing, i have ridden many boards with flyers over the years,and they do allow you to bury the tail and rail section very easily, maybe this is some of Bobs thinking? I would like to think Bob is serious about sup design , because you can rest assured Bobs forgotten more about surfboard design,than most people know.It will be interesting to see what riders think of his new sups.

These are definitely the figures quoted on the Mc SUP flyers, I have seen one.

I think the suggest weight ranges will only be a very rough guide as skill and balance as previously stated skill will play a large part in how successful you are in riding them.

Has anyone seen or tried any of these yet? Any thoughts on them?

9'0" 130 litres, 9'6" 150 litres, 10'0" 162 litres

If those volumes numbers are right (and I suspect they aren't) these boards will be corks!

Yer, maybe a cork for you at your weight Loco. Not for all.

Hi Yall, Matty from GSI,
We've not released any litre/volumes for the boards, so it looks as though someones made a guess somewhere and sent it out. It'd be tough to make an accurate estimation from dimensions alone as there's too many variables like rail thickness and the weight of materials used in construction and their bouyancy etc.

We'll have the range up on the Global surf Industries's site shortly. It will have a rough weight guide but as we know it comes down to your ability as well, as to how small or large you wish to go.

Have a great week. I'm on annual leave from this moment on and will stepping away from the laptop and into the water. Catch you in a few weeks.

Global surf ind, Now has details on this range

The 9'6 is for learners under 90kgs and advanced riders under 110

I would say almost the same board as the PSH 9'6waa

I know you would prefer to lift ya skirts and drop ya stubbies to talk PSH but i am interested in the desighn aspect of this board as its close to what psh is doing but with wings to fly.

Surftech chip like a fractured skull dont they?? Why would gsi be any different

Epoxy is epoxy

Im sure you favourite PSH boards chip like everthing else.

It has nothing to do with construction but the rider learning.

IMHO

Apparently a company called Instyle is distributing Southpoint in Oz

Guys 2 pac is tough I think u might find the surftec boards have acyrillic finish.
