Couple of Nigel Beckham twins going cheap, great condition, Sydney. Have owned one of his twins, they go great. Loose fast and predictable. Unique set up, sorta halfway between an MR twin and NPJ duo. Nigel has been churning these out for about twenty years I believe.

7'6 big shortboard twin $450

Nigel is back making boards again. Lots of logs, traditional and twin, retro singles and twins-fins and a few 3-4-5 setups too. The finished product is of a very high standard. Some really nice hand foiled fins (AVfins) and the glassing is being done by one of the better outfits around here (55 glassing).

Apart from surfboards, Nigel likes pick-up trucks. Heres the Beckham family traveling circus at Buskers by the Creek the other week.

Yeah I've been keeping a watch on his boards. He's also been making some nice hi-perf twinzer shorties. Dude can surf too! Very stylish longboarder.

Not with a thruster fin in the box and a couple on the side. Looks good as a widow maker.
Had I seen it on the weekend and I felt up to it I'd bolt up and get it for sure. Hope it's in as good nick as the pics show.

$70 shows the secondhand market. Although '1 offer made already' - who tried to chisel on a $70 board that is in good condition?
