i don't get this Mac

you know what a ten footer surfs like the conditions its best used in style of surfing deeded.


please don't say its some lame excuse to buy another board...


just go and buy another board……and please keep the ten footer


the way i look at it.
nothing better surfing small hip high waves on a 10ft board ,just don't try throwing the thing around, work on timing trim and enjoy the flow.
IMOH its like blokes on shortboards 666 mini mals or even longboards on small waves trying to do to much…looking like they had 15 red bulls
and ready for the straight jacket.

thats my 5c





Agree. Trying to wriggle your arse on a big board just looks bad.

I thought you had a 10 foot cruiser Mac.


Sold it mate it was tinted towards HP and to me 10 hp are not the way to go.So I hit the 10 foot log seen but there not me niether
Thats way I'm thinking 908 will still catch small stuff but will suit my form better.

Why not just once - like just once - get on the blower and call SDR or Mr Goddard and get them to make you a board. I seriously think that its about time you gave them a shot at the title.

Macaha,have all your boards been off the rack models or custom made between you and Bob,definitely worth changing shapers now and then to see what they bring to your surfing,you might be very surprised and thankful you did,those magic boards are few and far between,in all my years of surfing Ive only had two and one of them was like the holy grail to me a Gunther Rhon T&C which i snapped after only half dozen surfs,that was a very bad day.Hope you find that magic board soon,maybe try before you buy

Is this a pisstake?
I saw the quote ted posted above an thought it couldn't be a new board... Then I remberes it was Mac. Gotta Love a Mac board thread..

Can we get some new art on this one Mac. What about a classic volan with 2 thin bands in your signature colors horizontally across the middle. Like the one you posted the other day...


Maybe think about the nose and Tail dims

If you aren't going to use the nose then why have a fat wide nose rider nose, maybe trim it in a bit.

if you do want it to slow down cause you're not nose riding it then get a tail that wants to accelerate and turn.
Maybe pulled in a bit and some edge in the back bit.

Thanks for your input mate and Ted Pfff come on


Ricardo,all customs with some dims input from the factory when I'm out of line
I just think as Lance mentioned there is or should be no need for a 10 footer and
the board I'm looking at replacing is huge by most peoples standards,I think the 908
with my favourite rocker with side bites like I said earlier would suit me better than
an out right log.

Now I'm going to have a real good look at myself in the house of mirrors and look
forward to some serious replies on my return
