Are you talking a new model or Tuflite Mac.

I think the Tuffy wood was around $1650 back some years

Don't get a tuff lite....Noosa surf works make Robert August under license....about $1700.

Yeah I'm sure it's from Noosa surfworks.

I had the tufflite 9'6" What I Ride. Rode it mostly as a single fin and it was a great board in a lot of different conditions, especially longer slower walls. But I found it too 'corky' in beach breaks, particularly when the wave was different sections. Didn't want to drive around the whitewater and was a bit of a haul, in steeper takeoffs. I think most of that was the epoxy construction, as being so light, it had no real drive. On longer consistant walls it was gold. Smooth, great to ride. I think it would have been almost perfect in poly construction, with even a bit more weight, say 8oz volan or similar.

Thanks for the rundown and what a great picture.

Its a beautiful looking board but as the seller is selling due to owning too many boards I'm in same view, so I'm going to let it go.

I think you've be hacked mac.

might want to check out whats going on

Next they'll have you ordering a board in colours other than red, black & white...... It's criminal !

Go checkers
