As a kid growing up in the surf in New Zealand I admired and worshipped five surfers - Phil Edwards, Dewey Webber, Nat Young, Midget Farrelly and Bob McTavish. One of the most creative all time surfers, and still hugely respected world-wide for his innovation, creativity (especially with George Greenough - watch "Crystal Voyager" before you die!) and his genial, modest nature, Bob McTavish is one of surfing's greatest and one of the sports finest characters.

 

 

    

 So it was with pride approaching disbelief when I heard the story of Bob's recent visit to Devon. The story goes - and I'm more than willing to believe it - that Bob was surfing one of his own boards in very average and typical North Devon surf. He borrowed one of our sponsored riders Quiver longboards and didn't give it back! Surfed it all evening apparently, then eulogised later about the board. All or none of this may be true - we only have the picture...

 

Now I'm willling to be content with seeing you on our Quiver board, Bob, its a great honour and after all we strongly believe its one of the best longboard designs in the world right now, especially the Mark Neville Seaflex models.

  Sincerely though, if there is any way we can help you in the future with a more permanant arrangement, please call. You could shape some for us - or perhaps ride our other shapes? 

 

Did I say thank you?  Thank you!
