Re: The Good Luck A Number One McCoy Thread
This may be why they liked the font but are you telling me they were researching fonts back in the 60s?
The basic premise for the article appeared to be how people unconsciously adopted derivative styles.

I think back in "the 60's" , it was more a case of some had more acute powers of observation than others. Aside from scientists and statisticians , few people indulged in research before the information super highway was built.

Re: The Good Luck A Number One McCoy Thread
Well if you are claiming that copying the Coke Font is a sign of acute powers of observation then it's obviously sheer genius for MR to copy the Superman Logo and Rabbit copying Warner Bros. He had to desist as I remember after threats of copyright infringement.
Few people indulged in research?
I think a few Unis might be surprised to hear that.

It's all just marketing . MR , Rabbit and the Bronzed Aussies were all very good at marketing themselves, and surfing had a new global pro-circuit to sell.......The McCoy marketing was always very effective , even in the early days .

Re: The Good Luck A Number One McCoy Thread
All very good but not quite what you were saying....i.e. Scientists and statisticians being the only people to research anything in the 60s.

Re: The Good Luck A Number One McCoy Thread
Quite correct in a technical sense.....but semantics on an internet forum is pretty much a road to nowhere. I was more referring to the google phenomena , with it's push button search engines......or is that re-search engines ?
Re: The Good Luck A Number One McCoy Thread
Just traded two McCoy Nuggets (7' Surftech and a 7'2 TSA FX) for a 7' TSA poly Nugget.
Why? It fits better with the rest of my McCoys. So now its 6'8, 7', 7'4 and 8' Nuggets. I wanted a poly because they are better in the wind blown chop (thanks Steve) that is reasonably frequent at a more south facing break I often surf.

Wheres Hatchman. It would be great for you guys to compare notes.
Re: The Good Luck A Number One McCoy Thread
I've never seen any footage of someone, other than Cheyne, riding McCoys well. And I've never seen anyone riding them in the flesh at all. So yeah, feedback would be good.

Good article about Mark Richards hanging at the McCoy Factory when he was a grom on CoastalWatch.

Interesting collection. About 20 or more years worth.

Re: The Good Luck A Number One McCoy Thread
If you watch any recent videos of Geoff talking about boards you will see age is really catching up on him. Maybe a good part of why he is selling off his collection.
