The real Mccoy Nuggets are capable of incredible things.<BR/> I don`t think I`ll ever buy another style, I now have 5 nuggets and they all surf amazingly well in anything I will go out in.<BR/><BR/>Drop an email to Geoff and get him to send his Jedi apprentice shaper from OZ to you for awhile........He shapes just as good if not better than the master himself!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13713772.post-1148319179491845932006-05-22T10:32:00.000-07:002006-05-22T10:32:00.000-07:00Hey Chris,Great to hear from you. I don't feel gyp...Hey Chris,<BR/><BR/>Great to hear from you. I don't feel gyped at all about the Pautsch "Nugget" you sold me. Actually, I've had some really good sessions on it (minus the one where I broke my nose on its nose). And I know you did too, because I saw some video of you riding it on the surfer.com message boards.<BR/><BR/>As much as I am mystified by McCoy and his unusual/revolutionary shapes, I may be even more fascinated by Greg Pautsch, who is really an enigmatic character. Virtually zero info at all about him on the web, yet he's the only licensed shaper of "McCoy" boards in the US. Does he have that license in perpetuity? Can't Geoff bust him for biting the loaded dome shape? Are those guys even on speaking terms any more?<BR/><BR/>I actually considered selling it after a few bad experiences, but took it out on a head high day and it really opened up. I guess it may be better on biggish days in surf that isn't pounding beach break. Now I want to try and keep it in my quiver, not only for the novelty of having a piece Cheyene Horan-inspired Clark Foam, but also because it works. We've been through a lot together.<BR/><BR/>I still want to try a real Nugget though - did you see the 5'6" one on craigslist?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your long comment. I know you loved that board because it was in good condition when I got it. I hope you enjoy reading more of my blog where I take your baby out and describe the ups and downs of riding it in the Pacific Northwest.<BR/><BR/>-ChumChumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01398067594202867228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13713772.post-1142039604483114032006-03-10T17:13:00.000-08:002006-03-10T17:13:00.000-08:00Cheers chumbenCheers chum<BR/>benAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13713772.post-1142014975655601112006-03-10T10:22:00.000-08:002006-03-10T10:22:00.000-08:00Hey Ben,Thanks for your comment.

I am also a front foot surfer (although I'm trying to surf more off my back)and a rebel when it comes to any sort of "established" conventions in surfboard shapes. Whatever shape that is the most FUN is the best for that person.<BR/><BR/>You are a big guy... If you ever get out to Oregon, look me up and we can go out to the Point together!<BR/><BR/>-ChumChumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01398067594202867228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13713772.post-1141955438791330332006-03-09T17:50:00.000-08:002006-03-09T17:50:00.000-08:00I gotta say that sounds like a bummer of an experi...I gotta say that sounds like a bummer of an experience.<BR/>Geoff's a mate of mine and made me single fin that he cals a blu ben, something a bit wider than the nugget to allow for my front foot surfing. I weigh in at 105kg and stand 6'10" tall. not an easy bloke to shape for. But what he made me was so good that i eventually sold every board I have except for my logger for small days as the mccoy works in everything. if ya ever get a chance to get hold of one of his originals do it. i used to be sceptic. Now i'm a zealot :-)<BR/>happy surfing<BR/>big ben in ByronAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13713772.post-1137738593162026502006-01-19T22:29:00.000-08:002006-01-19T22:29:00.000-08:00Big time surfer dude and you having a little "tete...Big time surfer dude and you having a little "tete d' tete".

It would interesting to find out if Geoff is going to take any action on this "nuggetless, nugget" shaper. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Music — Sly & Robbie & Nambo Robinson — Mambo TaxiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13713772.post-1137621472822093602006-01-18T13:57:00.000-08:002006-01-18T13:57:00.000-08:00Yeah, I can get pretty obsessive about stuff.
