I think i was fairly clear in my reply that i'm just not man enough to ride a pink board cuttle - that is the sole reason i sold my mackie bonzer
But i appreciate the offer and as i've said if the board was in magenta - it would be a done deal.

Mick Mackie does them. Bloody versatile design - just been riding my dim-sim with traditional keels - changes the feel of the board completely. More hold in bigger waves, similar speed, less turn though.

5'8, 20, 2 7/8 - great condition : )

Went down the cheap patagonia path via the internet - bloody warm, comfortable and soooo much cheaper than $750 for one here. Now let's just pray the seams hold..........
Have noticed plenty of cheap ebombs on ebay from aussie sellers - not as cheap as $190 though - what a bargain!

It's a bad club to be in Morgan....i snapped a mal many years ago surfing Windy Point at Cronulla....what was i thinking on a mal out there? Serves me right. I like the idea of the sim though, resurrect at least half of her!

6'9 semi-gun style nugget, fairly new too.

Had a chat wth Marc and the McCoy showroom at Manly closes on the 30th and is moving to Port Macquarie, where Marc will continue to run sales etc. I don't think he'll mind me attaching a few pics of him shredding on that big swell that hit last week - doesn't surf his age, that's for sure :lol: Also...

Yeah i am pretty pedantic about instructions - i snapped the board in the heavy surf a week ago. The curse was serious....

jack didn't watch my last youtube link from his previous posting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBjK_oavReU

Have your worn that 9 plus yet moore? How is it?

Tail pad curse alert - since posting about how important they are, part of my Balin tail pad came off my alien yesterday, only two weeks old.... Balin are on the 'list'.

My daily driver is a 5'8 or 5'10 - after something from 5'2-5'6 - so it will likely be a bit too big for me - thanks anyway

I'm at Shellharbour NSW - they've got some misfits over at finbox at Thirroul, i might get over there and feel some up
You got one Brendo?

Yeah - not that keen to go out and buy one just yet. I already have a dim sim for smaller days and walled up waves, but i'm after something with some zip for the smaller suckier days. I have a break where i'm at that produces sucky barrels no matter the size and the sim can go up to about 2ft on thi...

Has anyone had any experience with these boards? The reason i posted under alts - i was specifically thinking about their small wave specials - the flair, the flow, the sk8tey and the fish.

I agree - the sims can be driven well from the backfoot, but they also respond pretty good with front foot turns as well. Because my sim is 5'1 i tend to get the feet placement pretty spot on!

Hey Morgan, As far as i'm aware the zot has far less emphasis on the backfoot placement and pressure due to the girth sitting in the middle. Based on conversations with Marc at the Manly outlet and a guy i know who rides a 6ft zot - they are more like a potbelly in that they rely less on that backfo...
