August 13 My new Fireball. Just sold my 10'2" after ayear of great surfing on it. Replaced it with a McTavish Fireball 9'1". Looking forward to the first session! Originally
designed for Gareth Donovan when he won the 1995 Australian Longboard
Title at famous Bell's Beach, the FIREBALL has gone from strength to
strength, becoming the benchmark Longboard across the world. Easy
wave catching, fast acceleration with the most natural feeling turns
are just the beginning. Step forward to the mid-trim zone, and the
FIREBALL simply speeds down the line. Two more steps and you're on the
FIREBALL'S wide nose, just walking on water with no visible means of
support! Comfortable, predictable, natural. The best Longboard going! TECHNICALS:Exclusive 3-stage rocker, for safe drops and fast acceleration. Tri-fins mounted well forward under your feet, for looseness. Blended Nose Concave for lift. Forward bevels for "No-Catch" re-entries, enhanced trim, and "Wobble-reduction." Double-concaves in tail for acceleration. Rails classic 60/40 to tucked edge in tail.

Jon May 16 Hi everyone. I am posting here to ask people if they would text a vote for our group, Surf 2 Heal. If you havent already heard we have set up a Surf Camp for Irish Kids with autism, this concept has proven to be very successful elsewhere abroad whereby some kids had gotten some great stoke from surfing! As surfers ourselves we are trying to do something positive within the sport this year and give these kids the opportunity to experience the joy, peace, fun and learning that we regularly experience through surfing. We entered for the AIB Better Ireland awards and have been fortunate enough to make the final 3 in the Kinsale District. Basically we now need friends, family, volunteers and the surf population of Cork / Ireland to support us by texting Kinsale C to 53099 By doing this we will hopefully secure funds to complete our fundraising program and then its full steam ahead with other aspects of our program. Texts cost 60 cent and the closing date is June 6th. We thanks you for your support in advance and welcome you to browse our website to learn more about SURF 2 Heal. www.surf2heal.com Many thanks Jon, Nollaig & Alayne - Surf 2 Heal.
