Most of us would have seen assymetrical shortboards but assymetrical longboards (and midlengths lol) seem to be a lot rarer.
These MC boards also have quad/thruster plugs.

Always will divide opinions.
Scott Dillon was making them in the 60's. Last time I was there, he had a couple in his museum.
Really odd looking pigs.

I'd love to ride one down my way! They look funny, but probably work well in certain conditions, at certain breaks...

Excuse my ignorance - but are these boards designed to be ridden Left or Right only... It seems that one side of the tail is designed to bite into the wave, and the other looser and fast? I just don't understand the concept.

Thanks

I wish I was good enough to make and surf my own Fin-Less boards! Awesome little clip...
I know I'm not quite that good though! :(




I'm not a big fan of "the white 6'1"... It always refreshing to see something a little bit different...
Actually, this has got me thinking... I will have a chat to Bob next week... Maybe I might try some Bonzer Keels in the side bites, and no centre fin... Just to see what it's like...

That's why I want one, I like my singles but looking for a bit extra thinking they would be similar but a bit different.

Their range is pretty varied I was looking basically a bonzered up single shape.

This is their website..

For that comment Mac, I have just thought of a new Jeep Movie, for you!


"Summer Time Jeeping", the mini movie will be filmed at Bells, late arvo, capturing the orange on the South West side of The Bells Headland... The side that is never photographed!
