Here is an interesting thread re: mccoy quads. Personally, i think that everything works.....to an extent. Given that sweet potatoes, pier ponies etc are quads from mccoy genetics if you like mccoys and quads, i reckon you d be happy. If you re into mccoys, I reckon it would be awesome to play aroun...

Natho, what is a hps these days? The range of boards is mind boggling, I remember when you had one board with glass on fins imagine that

The more chubby, slow, old, feckers in the line up clinging to their under volumed hpsb the better, good on you chaps ........its the chubby old feckers on mals that give me the shats

Get a towel, lay suit on top, roll up then walk up down the whole lot a couple times.. That works ok for a quick dry :) On a different subject - any of you guys ever ordered a custom suit? If I ever have the cash, I will always consider this option. They just seem to work well and last longer as th...

Looks awesome fongss, is it a cork top with epoxy? Wicked fin set up, who made the fins and......how does the board go?
I imagine it would be very light and manouverable.

No, my wettie is starting its 3rd season and has already been repaired 3 times. I am not confident it will make it through this season.

Hi Jason, What kind of quad fins did the Felix have in it? Also curious about the plug placement? My broad bean is rail centric as opposed to the common McKee placement. Asking because I seem to recall the first Felix's having thruster plugs (without going back to look on page 1). Surfed my broad b...

Question for feral dave: When you compare the paddling of the Chopper with the Diverse MPH, I'm guessing the Chopper will be more practical in that area right? I know the whole parallel outline and wide-tail theory is supposed to create a better paddling board even with low volume, but from my expe...

Hi Morgan, Cuttles put me onto the bonzer side fins for my 5"11 2+1 which has a wide diamond tail. Cuttlefish has his in longer boards with a narrower tail, however, in our opinion, they work well in both types of board. They quicken the board, have good drive, good hold and give a nice little squir...

Hi Mark, You should be able to right click on the pic and select "view image". It's called a GM on Dave's site but don't think he has any stock boards atm. If you've got Image shack then this link should work... http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/404/dsc00002ik.jpg/ And then you can see the other...

Is it just me or is the commentary getting worse as the year wears on? Martin potter a former world champ who knows how to win a heat the old school way is my favorite. I like his quikie pro commentary, the rip curl pro commentary is pretty good....but then you get to the billabong rio pro, occys ba...

Sorry captain, i left out the finless part of the family in my response above! How have your experiments been going?

Glamarama, I think I've met you too....the McCoys and the wombat gave you away. I think I sold you the cutaway fin for your wombat. cant even go incognito on the world wide web :-( There is nowhere to hide, we re just one big, happy, dsyfunctional family that cant decide if one fin is better than t...

Thanks braithy, you ve been a big help.

Thanks for the detailed feedback braithy, did you choose the thruster set up because of your personal preference or is the board designed to be a thruster? I have often thought that boards are either a thruster or a quad the 5/4/3 set up could be detrimental to some boards/surfers. Also, why did you...

just curious ,what is the price of those boards ? I was quoted $895 today which i think is the price for this technology. You wouldnt want to be paying this much for GSI board which i was looking at, for that much i would want mine to be made in Australia. They look a nice design though, and i d lo...
