Creative use of rail bands and blocks.

It has all the classic McCoy-isms, rail shape, roll, rocker.

SammyA · December 26, 2009, 2:52pm

Very nice. What’s the price tag on one of those?

MikeDaniel · December 26, 2009, 3:16pm

Looks like it's $4999AUS. Cheaper than Roy's, but not nearly as fast :-)

Geoff has done a few nuggets with Balsa also. We had the discussion a few years ago and he was against the idea of retro. I am glad he changed his mind. Nice to see one of the masters recreating boards that changed surfing. Like I said once before…M.R. was an old McCoy team rider. The twin fin thing is as much Geoff’s as it was M.R.

For the work and wood, I think it’s a fair price.
