you guys have no idea.


its like when we get the architects on site. you can't tell them how its got to be done.



why you have to so gently lead them the way and let them think its their idea.




so I suggest if your looking for a board for mac to get with the idea it could be yours later , your going to have to be a lot smarter .


it will be so much sweeter a month later when the weapon of choice is finally yours.


I know, I have a sweet evo2

Yeah i got that email today too, and I have to say that I am very tempted by those boards.

I have always bought progressive style longboards but i love the look of these guys.

But i think this old boy would need a bit more thickness to keep up with the PAC or should I say Mac.

Yeah, but maybe a wolf in sheep clothing.

To me looked like a bit of the typical log but volume in the rails and tails reduced.

The photo of the tail shows a very thin tail and what looks like a pretty fine rail compared to what I would call a more typical log tail.
Not saying it is a HP biard but looks a lot more of an every day type log then a small, fat wave nose ride specialist.

Maybe a loggers all rounder?

I would be keen but it does not have a fin box

Its pretty clear to me that one of the two Ben's clearly went to business school All they seem to do is to re-sell old product lines down the same customer channels with a modern twist. This time they have taken it one step further - but essentially the same ideal. Nothing wrong with it. At last someone is making some cash out of a cottage industry without having to go large scale. I salute them. Everyone else has been doing this for years - think financial institutions, supermarkets, petrol stations etc

best way to work mac is this.


surf with him,



ask him how the new board is




tell him it looks pretty good in the water, your surfing well on it.




that gets the mind games going




bingo, next week its gone and a new one is on order.



you just need to tap his mct hot line to Hollywood and intervene to get ya new board

That being the case can you talk mac into buying a creative army sweet love or a takayama model T

I guess mac's taking aversion as it's not available in red /white /black

Still, I'm pretty sure those boyz'll talk to into one, time will tell

I think with the McTavish's the price isn't so bad considering the resell price. Its like the Macintosh computers. For years I thought Mac users were crazy cosidering you could get but better bang for buck for a IBM compatible. But then I realized people were still paying over a $1000 for a 2 year old Macbook pro, like snapping them up on Ebay. I watched for 3 months before giving up on a second handy & just grabbing a newy for a few hundred xtra.

There's only one problem for me owning a Mactavish. I'm just too rough with my boards. I'm going to go for that floater over the reef, I'm not going to straighten out if someone drops in, in front of me. I'm not going to get the resale $. But if you do look after your boards & you want to change over. You'll have no prob selling them.
