Hi Byronbus
is it an old one?
post a piccy of it
here's an early 80's model
[Edited on 27-2-2005 by lowrider]
Its probably an 80's board, its in the rafters of a garage somewhere, i see if i can dig it out...
I have several mals from the 60's and some early 70's single fins, I'll get some pics up soon.
I snapped the nose off an early 70's jackson board on sunday, probably reduced its value by a couple of hundred dollars...
ouch!
:cry
The rainbow warrior single fin looks like the one that put the fin chop into my new quad 6 weeks ago.

That McCoy is a technicolor yawn! Would have been a hot item in it's era!
Byronbus,
You'd probably know that the original shaper lives in Byron and has shaped out of there since 1983. David makes great boards and is a real good bloke to talk to (and he rips on a kneelo).
Lowrider,
My quad pics are on my other PC. I'll try to post tonight. No surf this weekend. Out before daybreak yesterday at Avoca. Watched 15 mals go out in 1 foot weak swell. Went back home to bed.
It would be interesting to hear from everyone as to why they ride the watercraft that they do.
I ride kneeboards because of the sentation of speed due to the low riding stance (just like a Go-Kart) and it's all about trim and weight transfer. Carving turns and long cut backs, hit the lip and land it turn it on for me.

i ride my 6'6 Nev because it is the sweetest shaped modern shorty i have ridden, just handles soo well, but for style i ride the single when Im not feeling up to the challenge of the Nev, much slower and easier board to ride, real smooth turning, but in desperate need of a more powerful fin. when it gets bigger and dumpier there is nothing like bodysurfing or bodyboarding when it's just stupidly dumpy..
Reimagined/Recycled/Upcycled Cool
Yeah
The McCoy's great, its very thick compared to todays wafer boards, and Im a bit on the heavy side, and its only 5'9, so I can ride it still. The skipp is a little thinnner and it sinks under me, and its a real struggle paddling it, so it dosent get much use.

Go the FRIAR TUCK . parksie shure knows what hes doing!
I must get a few shots of some of mine but Im off to Cresent for two weeks on Friday so it might be a while.

23 windows ...8 too many!
yes the old hanimex thats all i ride nowadays, too old to change
but not old enough for a mal. i have about 10 broken ones under house
& 1 good one left.
byronbus if you do find one i come & pick it up will pay good money & will
make sure its worth the effort for you or anybody else that has a hanimex or know of one floating around
started surfing them at tamarama in syd 30 odd yrs ago when you couldnt ride a board in flags & since i moved here 10 yrs ago started up again
blows people away when i paddle out on a foamy & ride it like a board.
thanks wally
Here is the Friar Tuck Quad Parksey shaped for me. Bloody fast board. I can't wait to get back to Crescent myself, especially the back beaches.
Brendan
Another Kneeboard. Wizstix Tri Pin Tail 6.0. Good in bigger surf but too much rocker for anything under 2-3 foot. Don't use it much. My son learnt on this board.
Brendan
good stuff!
Crescent looks like a great set-up but its always been flat when I've (infrequently)
passed thru...
winerot, love to see someone on something different.
there was a foamy on ebay a couple of weeks back; will look out for one.
how do they ride??
:bounce
[Edited on 2-3-2005 by lowrider]
Man all you knee boarders, whats the world coming to?
the truth is out there....
Spent 4 days at Crescent in early November. 2 days at back beaches and 2 days at the point. Don't think it got under 3 foot. Had a 4-6 foot morning session north of point Plummer, 3 kneeboarders and no-one else for 3 hours. There was Dolphins everywhere every day (Those buggers Rip!). Like I said I can't wait to get back there.
Brendan
Well this is me and My stick, Although you cannot see it I am sure your able to guess it would be under me, He He
The Kite is a 14m Vegas North Kite and man in a Bit of wind it can pull like a TRUCK...!!!
This was taken on the Far Northern Outer Great Barrier Reef, Launching from an Island and followed by a Rubber Duckie to rescue my ass when I go to deep...
Mind you this is only my second day on the board, I have got alot better since, Ripping it up now...

so...... any waves??
Shark attack near my local break yeaterday.
Guy was surfing at crackneck on the central coast. 4 metre Great White took a swipe and knocked him offhis board. He was by himself although there was a couple of bodyboarders closer in. The place is only surfable at 4 foot + and is only accessable after a 20 mins walk along rocks. VERY deep dropoff. The reason I have never surfed there.
Surfed Umina point last Saturday at 4-6 foot. Bloody great session. Also a supposed sharky location.
When we get into the water we enter THEIR foodchain! The landlord in the dark grey suit.
Brendan
so did he get got by the landlord or did he escape the eviction notice on his life?

He made it to shore without a scratch. Said he saw it after he was knocked off and reached down to grab his leggie to pull his board back to him.
Scary moment.
Check out the picks of Crackneck at it's best.
