No doubting solosurfer has been a loud voice for geoff mccoy surfboards. We have all read pages of glowing tributes to Geoff mccoy and his surfboards written by solo . The trouble seems to be from what i have read on swaylocks, the guy has misrepresented him self and his mccoy connection and seemingly promoted his own boards and the boards shaped by greg pautsch . Have a look at the my new nugget thread there are pictures of a surfboard that is a complete Geoff mccoy copy from start to finish, spray ,decal, and all . i wonder does he or greg send mr mccoy a cheque or at least a thankyou or even a xmas card as gratitude for the revenue they raise selling boards under the mccoy label.

Geoff's hero worshipping lap dogs just won't quit in spite of knowing absolutely nothing about what they are talking about. There has been no misrepresentation. There is no further need to defend myself. It's all there way back in the archives here. There is one person who has been paranoid, egotistical and untruthful or..misinformed in this entire episode and it's not Greg Pautsch or I. There are mods and others close to the situation who know some of the truth. The rest appear to be love struck fools attempting to gain brownie points.
Yes...I do plan to continue to use G.P. as the relationship goes back a long way and he is one of the best shapers and folk in this business. Again...a long history and none here know a thing about it. He has been doing the label since the late seventies.
BTW: For someone claiming to have invented or reinvented certain things...I see little credit given to obvious influences. Hence the Cheyne picture from 87 when the claim for the Nugget outline was early 90's..the Hobie logo, the Velzy and other things. So what? His contributions are what they are and there have been many. Some of you need to just start believing there is NO conspiracy or anyone attempting to hurt the non contributor to swaylocks in question, ride his coat tails or harm him in any way. Just a bunch of Hooey.
Does any of this matter? I still believe in the design and it's a fact that most folks in America are not going to pay the price to get the boards done in Australia because of the dollars involved. It's also a fact that the name in question get's lot's of free publicity here by lap dogs starting arguments that don't matter. I have posted thousands of post here on various subject and contributed to this forum which serves the surf community around the world well as a platform. There is tons of information here.
I see no reason for this being a stage for folks whose only contribution is spam or stir up trouble. Heck..I don't mind criticism either if it's well thought out and written..but it's best to bring facts rather than innuendo. I don't see Simon whinning about folks copying him or others being out to get him and etc. The threads don't need to be locked...the trouble makers need to be banned and post that are off subject deleted with a warning.
BTW: Drifter: Quit attempting to ruin the surfers stoke who posted his board here. He has no part in any of this until you came on with your B.S. on that thread.
Slander: a malicious, false, and defamatory statement or report.

So i guess just insult anyone that dares to question you , then attempt to derail the debate by by going on about simmon. So i by that logic the connection we can draw is everyone rips of simmon so it's alright for you to rip off mr mccoy . As for the guy that bought the mccoy replica well he obviously got a good board just not really a mccoy ... it's a pautsch ..
write what you want, Insult me as much as you feel the need but the only people you are fooling is your unsuspecting customers
Oh i remind the swaylocks readers have a look at the statement from geoff mccoy in the industry talk section. I think that makes it all very clear.

Alrighty then...you sure showed me and I'm sure everyone here on swaylocks feels indebted to you for bringing out all this secret information about my character. I hope you get your brownie points when you report in. It's a dead issue. I don't have McCoys produced. I simply sell them the way I always did through my shops with the same person most here in America have associated with that label for years. I have no more association with the person in question and wish him nothing but the best. If the person in question and G.P. make some other arrangements in the future..that will be fine also.
Solo just so the conspiracy voices in your head do
Just letting you know i have never discussed you or swaylocks with geoff mcoy . i have no idea what he tn't keep you awake at night .
hinks about you and what is written here and see no need to report to anyone.
i have been reading sways for a lot longer then actually contributeing you were the dominating voice on all things mccoy when i read the
STATEMENT FROM GEOFF MCCOY in the industry talk section you lost all credibilty in my eyes. and now that your love affair has ended you start to attempt to diminsh mr mccoys desigin imput but still sell surfboards under the mcccoy label kinda rubs me the wrong way
Getting back to my original question i asked earlier do you or mr pautsch send mr mcoy a cheque or even a thankyou note....... sometimes

Drifter I can barely read the drivel you are writing. Tune it up please.
Here is a question for you Drifter: Would it make a difference to you if you knew for certain I had a contract and all of my support has been genuine and went on years before any stupid contract? If you knew it existed...do you think someone like Geoff should live up to a signed contract? If not....what point are you trying to make since you appear to have made a judgment without knowing all the facts? Very little other than postive stuff has ever been written on the subject here until the last couple of months. There is no big agenda to get something off Geoff. I did it before I dealt with him and will continue to do boards without him. His has actually been a small part of what I do anyway as I have not been able to get them for a few years and only recently started getting them from G.P. again. Most of my interest and focus is on the two labels I do produce. Do you have some other personal problem you are not mentioning?
I have never diminished the Name in question design input. Where in the world would you get that idea? Just because I now challenge some of his overt claims on very minor details? I stand by all that I have written on him over the years. I still sell similar things and the one you are griping about because I still believe in the designs and also in the same spirit of the name in question...I still believe in experimenting. I don't believe only one shaper gets things right or just one design. I pretty much like it all.
