Or you could spend a thousand or so on a custom McCoy . And if it ends up sucking, you just lost hundreds of dollars, being lucky to sell it for half what you paid for it.

That hundred dollar jobbie could buy right now, surf it til it falls apart, or immediately resell it for prob $200 or more easy.

Just sayin... You fkn dingbats :)

It'd be up good cheap winter step up for a bigger or older McCoy lover.

They're all bigger and older.

Triple bull warehouse. JS, dhd, pyzel, Channel Islands boards going new for 600-650. Had a quick look, nothing I need at moment. There was a 5'10 fishcuit there with future fin boxs. A few biscuits. Some longer higher volume shortboards. Get in there and check it out if you're into the name brands.
Personally I'll save my cash and buy local.

Even though its been snapped it seems like a good deal if you want a mal and you're a big unit who just wants one for cruising when conditions call for one. I'd buy it if there was a way of getting it from Kiama to the Sunny coast but I only know of surf freight picking up from far South as Sydney.

Hey, the future arrived in 1984 when Geoff McCoy put three fins on a Lazer Zap.

Has anything happened since then?

Miller F-skate for $250 neg. mona vale.
One repair, but nothing much, and overall in pretty good condition.
6'6 x 21 1/4 x 2 5/8

Not my cup of tea, but worth it for Miller lovers.

Cheap Tuflite 6'0 shortboard /fish thruster thingy for only $150 neg. Bondi

Be ok as an indestructible board for carving up smaller windswells, without spending eight or nine hundred on some al merrick summer model that'd fall to pieces in less than two years.

This may interest someone. I've had a bunch of boards off Brandon over the years. Good shaper.

What's most interesting is the advertiser says the board is 5'12" long. :lol:

3 X old single fins ten bucks each. All around 6'10 long.

The one on the far right might be ok after a clean up with the wax off it ? Hard to say. Only one pic.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Arguably a bargain. Early 80s 6'1 channel bottom quad for $120 neg. Newport .
Overall condition looks pretty good. Tail needs a bit of work. Crazy looking graphics

If I had the time up my sleeve I'd scoot down to Camden and nab that board. It'll be lucky to still be available by end of today. It'll go quick !
