Re: The Good Luck A Number One McCoy Thread

Just finished reading this thread - there are some guys that put up vids on the mccoy riders facebook page. Some of them surf well. Others, not so much. Single fin McCoy potbelly in tiny lined up waves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bNeyylEF_c Seriously - McCoy boards are different, but good fun....
