So far so good. Only had 2 surfs on it. Just arrived late last week. Swell has been pumping all january more or less. Swell tap just switched off and crap winds started blowing. Had a quick pointbreak surf on it and a beachbreak grovel on it. It came with a 6" fin so will try a larger one. Feels really good on a rail. Nice and loose.

Tail pad looks like a great fit, who makes it?

21&3/4" x 2&5/8".
OAM tail pad.

 

[Bman76]

21&3/4" x 2&5/8".
OAM tail pad.

That tail pad will hurt your knostess turns, Pete, please take it off.

 

[Retropete]

That's a relief. Call me the anti-Knost!

What is the reasoning behind not having a board that surfs good?

 

[20W-50 and blood]

wow....even hate for the rnf?

 

[Colin]

Whole lotta good in that quiver. Good call on the three fin MBLV vs the five. I'd love to get my hands on a pair of those little dvs quad rears. Speaking of .... What's the story on the wiener model? Looks flat and fast. Is the blackbird a mctavish?

 

[santacruzin]

what are those fins on the DVS?

Can I come visit, Pete?

If you lived in a rainforest jungle would you rather own a set of surgeons scalpels or an assortment of machetes, axes and tomahawks?

 

[Retropete]

Pete, which one is ur fave dd?

The 6'6" McNeill cv2 is supposed to be but I've only just got it.
Had a quick point surf on it late last week at the end of the last swell and the fins made a big difference to how it went.
Before that I was riding my rnf a lot before the Christmas school holidays.
The DVS 6'3" is a bucket load of fun (with the Webber flex fins) in waves up to a bit overhead. The feeling as the fins flex is addictive.

Webber flex fins are made by Soar fins.
The rear fin has one tab so it flexes side to side as you turn.

The DVS quad rears you can get from Shapers Australia.
The set in the rear boxes of my nano, Leveler custom made for me with the same template. Beautiful job on them.
The DVS is basically a micro mal model of his with a tweaked nose so that it doesn't catch in turns. Nice deep double concave through the bottom means it has a discernible gas peddle. It actually handles a steepish drop well. The flex fins make it a lot more fun to surf than a standard thruster set.
The blackbird isn't a bluebird (McTavish) it's just a bargain basement purchase to ride if the points have a lot of water moving and are unruly or large. A once or twice a year kind of board.

 

[Retropete]

Can I come visit, Pete?

Sure...I know my boards are in your preferred size

 

[mapache]

i can't even remember whats in my quiver

theres that AG channel bottom twin plus trailer for a DD, then a roberts i like when the waves get curvey or biggish, sometimes i ride this pintail 5'11" x 18 x 2" longboard nosed thruster from hawaii that was probably made for a girl or a child, i think those are the only boards i really like anymore....a bunch of other sh!t up in the rafters,....oh yeah, another FAVORITE is the fuken chemistry flashpoint thruster (another DD) 5'7 x 19.5 i think.....that is a GREAT board......
