Kookster - insteresting link ; after a year on the ZOT I can really understand his thoughts - if it was your only board. I really share his view that the single ZOT loves a right hand steep wall (I know all boards do - but I have several and its the ZOT that I love to grab for this purpose..) ; he s...

Tiger - incredible work mate... curious as to how these boards go with real thickness ie 3" - is there limits to this method; from reading it seems you cut out whatever size you need from a big block? If so this method may be good for more unusual shapes that are hard to get blanks for.... Also - I ...

Nearly 2 years down the track...is the fat bullet still in the quiver Old grom or has it been sacrificed on the altar of the McCoy temple? Yes - sacrificed, along with my left nut - to buy my ZOT. Still really rate the design, my brother brought it off me and he loves it. In fact it really turned h...

1) has to paddle well - if I am knackered after 45 mins then I start to get on late and miss waves; also hate catching great - fast breaking wave just a few seconds to late and missing the section. I know - get surf fit... but in reality I surf now more than ever - up a block from the beach - in the...

2 nd reef - thanks for sharing - very interesting (well for a total high volume short board fanatic like myself anyway :D ) Hey Huie, I've only got 4 boards. Down to you last four... regardlsess I agree with Huie - total board slut... by the way your latest is frigging insane. Also, Geoff is shaping...

Had a quick chat to Marc and gonna slap on a pad tonight. Fong got me excited. Tried to put my foot way back on the Zot from take off and it turned into a dog. Placement is a bit forward so I'll see how it goes hi morgan Keep us informed - I have not gone the tail pad on my ZOT; I was attracted to ...

I don't care if no one has them but man it's cool when there is one available in the right kind of dimensions to take for a spin and answer a few questions of a particular board shape. Especially when it comes to alternative shapes. Hi Cuttle - just wanted to add my 2 cents on the demo thing - I ha...

Tsk, tsk you guys. Supporters of McCoy and the ethos of Aussie hand shapes made to last blaspheming about Firewires popped out of Asia. It's not like there's no alternatives to these spuds. Look at all the clever local shapers making mini-simmons....Check out the Beachbeat demo board (if it's fixed...

I reckon they are unreal. Not sure why they cop so much stick, they're long enough to paddle good, but can still be turned very well. same here Beery - I have one collecting dust on the shelf (7"4 X 21.5)- it was great when I moved back to the coast after a few years of holiday surfing only - got m...

shite batoes... now I will be bidding against Kookster

No ...to bloody old and fat - If it was the 5"8 then ït would be mine...

How good was that recent swell :D Kookster sorry you have been unwell and missed a bit of it... but I am confused by you quiver. The way I see it if you have three boards then you work towards the basics of a quiver: -an allrounder which you use in a middle range of surf say 2-4ft - go to board; - a...

that Hypto Krypto - has an insane outline - love it. Cuttle - where did you see one? OG

I am sure this guy rips - but what a waste of 30 odd perfect waves :shock: I love a functional floater - or a big air on a close out or in shories - but hate the move towards trying to pull off "big air" or whatever halfway along a nice wave. what a waste. unfortunatly I see this more and more out i...

They also had one Shred sled in Fibreflex but after seeing the used "Bob" on their website I'd be put off the tech because of the way I can destroy decks on lightly glassed boards. Had a look at the website and was impressed at the size of the waves the rippers are riding these litlle slabs in. Gre...

I'm keen to hear more from the guys who may be riding the Zot in 6'2 or under sizes. There must be few lurkers out there who have a little Zot in the quiver? I am also keen on info and reports on the smaller zots - I surfed the other day at noosa - had a good chat with a guy on a 6'2" - but he was ...

Even as a Darren Rogers shape (usually a bit leaner than a McCoy version) Hey Buzzy hope you get a few on the Mccoy - I also have a Darren Rogers shaped nugget - its a 7'1" (I think)- its also quite different from Geoffs shaped nuggets (I have had a couple). A fair bit leaner than Geoff shapes- I u...

The new sled has arrived. Yes, I know I have a serious addiction. Yes you need help - I will no doubt run into you at Boardaholics Anonymous soon :D seriously nice quiver though. She’s actually 16” tail – I asked for 15.5 but I’m glad it’s not any smaller to be honest, and he has really pulled the ...

Classic cuttle - loved this - got a bit close to home - but my van is not red - and my wife is staying - so I must be OK - OG
