Looks really nice. In excellent condition too.

Thanks go to Asea, Boardculture, and of course McTavish.

9'1 x 22"3/4 x 2"7/8. Perfect dims for me. I already know I'll love this board, and I haven't even ridden her yet!

CMC, it has the normal McTavish style chines which start about a foot back from the nose, and go through to about midway. That's the bottom.

And chines on top is purely on optical illusion related to semi old wax in these photos.

If you put a ruler on the screen, on the blue bands, on the bottom of the board, you can actually get a feel for the concaves and chines. But it's a pretty stock standard Fireball EvoII that is about 12 months old. No big secrets, just the tried and true McTavish refinements.

Lace,
It's a blend of my old McTavish Original, and the proven Fireball. It's bang on the dimensions I like, and looks spot on. I have a good eye. Feels great under the arm, the template, rocker, and rail profiles, combined with the signature McTavish Bump Hips, and McTavish Chines up front, all look great. It's like old friends reacquainted... Hands down, this will work well down here.

I don't think 62mac has had much exposure to the EvoII. As in riding...but I think he has just ordered a blended EvoII special called the 62mac!
