From the McKee Homepage:
The footage at the right hander ‘Jeffrey’s Bay’ with Tom wearing a wetsuit colored with pink flanks shows Tom riding a four-finned ‘McKee Quattro’ 6’11″ x 18″ x 1-5/16″ swallow-tailed gun. The board is a 1992 version characterized by a fairly spread-out fin cluster with the rear fins being larger than the fronts and set back fairly close together on the tail. This gave the board amazing hold and drive but Tom needed a back foot on the tail to get it to pivot well of the top.
Tom combines his talent with this rare and strangely obscured surfboard technology of the era, to provide some epic footage

Not saying its true/ Just saying they make the claim.
No contradiction.\

different board.

go watch Searching for Tom Curren, you'll see both boards in action.

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.

Should be happy. Think of the global exposure and the happy cafe owner sea changers from Sydney raking it in.

Better be fucking awesome waves too so people can comment e.g. Godsave, people from Sydney, Avoca, Bukit

I think Lennox could do with a bit more exposure.
Look what it's done for Burleigh and Bells.

McCoy nugget advert on gumtree reads

“Goes so well once you get that foot over the dome area!”

Really? The dome is in front of the fins. Last place you’d want your backfoot on that board.

“NOTE: THIS IS NOT AN XF POP OUT VERSION”

So? You think that’s your custom PU is really going to make much difference?

Why would anyone write “It goes well once you.....”?

😂😂😂😂😂

I dig the nugget. Does what I need it to. Wave needs some punch and steepness to get the best out of it.

Curious though Nick, ever ridden McCoy’s boards?
