When I got the board I think he was working in a nursing home or retirement home or facility, something to do with caring for people.
And the board is sooo heavy. Serious glass job. It's been up against the rocks at Steamer Lane when I lost it on a "big" day (for me). I fixed it up and it's gonna last forever.
that's pretty rich coming from the guy who started the "help me choose a coffee maker" thread.
Speaking of scored a Cuisinart® Automatic Grind & Brew 10-Cup Thermal Coffeemaker last night with a 200 gift card my wife had for BB&B
current quiver:
5’9 Robert’s custom based off dump truck
5’4 Christenson fish
5’3 Mccallum
5’6 forest minchinton twin
6’3 Wayne Lynch step up with lock box
6’1 (I think) Maurice cole reverse V
6’1 Robert’s g step up
Everything in the 28L range except the Cole which is my lazy winter board when waves are good.

It was a pretty awesome score at the SF mollusk second hand shop. Apparently he buys up all his used boards to control the market.
It’s actually a three fin (I mostly hate quads). funky beveled rails. Love that board, got me back into non shortboards Again four or five years ago.
nice quiver. I see some of those McCallums around at the hipster shops, and I can't believe what they sell for ($900-1,000 IIRC). Some of them look more like wall-hangers than functional shapes. I haven't noticed them in the water and I don't think I know anyone who's ridden one. There must be a market for them- unless he really is controlling the used boards. LOL
@racer1 how did you know of them? are his quads more well-known than I think?
How do you like the MC reverse vee? always wanted one since Curren
I’ve heard the same story from A guy that sells his boards (new and used) so I assume there’s some truth to it.
Not sure about the designs but McCallum charges big blacks on his boards.
It’s funny because the board isn’t exactly shaped to perfection. You can clearly see it’s asymmetric (not on purpose), particularly in the nose. I got it for around $150.
He's popular. He was Vissla's marketing campaign when they first launched, but I've seen his boards long before that.
