McTavish Fireball Evolution
The McTavish Fireball Evolution is an awesome High Performance Longboard. Coming in a variety of flavors we got the 9'1" PU board to ride. However the board can be had anywhere from 9' to 10' 2" long and come in an SLX high performance epoxy. We've heard that the SLX epoxy, though lighter weight and higher performance, is slightly less durable. Some other technical features include a 3-stage rocker profile,rounded pin-tail, 60/40 rails, double concave tail, single concave nose, nose bevels to aid stability and solid a 6x6x6oz lamination.
But on to how it rides. This board is awesome. Does everything you want in a longboard and more. It has enough float to surf ankle high slop but can still hang with the bigger waves. The board trims its speed nicely allowing for the rider to express themselves on the board and cruise in style. Overall, this is an awesome board.
Here's an interview with Bob McTavish, creator of the Fireball Evolution!
