It turns out, the McTavish Carver is actually a shortboard, it just comes with added wave-catching and comfort zones grafted on! Who would've thought?

It's engine is a stiff-rockered zone with double-concaves right under your feet in a turn, and the front fins pulled right up under your back foot, supplying speed, acceleration, looseness and comfort all from the one generous sweet-spot.

The front section is light and bevelled, giving that real shortboard feel, yet enabling fast easy paddling. The ideal design! Just surf it like a shortboard, but with a massive wave-count.
