    Now that I've been riding Nuggets for ten years I thought I should put down a review.

    I now own 4 of them... and I still ride the original one that I bought in 1999! Sure it's kind of beaten up but normally a board lasts me a maximum of 2-3 years before it dies.

    The Geoff McCoy Nugget is, for me, the best surfboard ever! I have a few other types of boards that I still ride sometimes but none of them can come close to the ride I get on the Nugget.

    I often come in from the surf and talk to crew post surf and they all rave about how I seemed to be on every set wave that came through. I'm not that good a surfer so it is only the board that gets me on all those sets.

    By far the best thing for me though is i can take the Nugget out in 2 foot onshore slop and have a ball and then take the same board out in huge macking barrels and tube ride it better than any other board in my quiver.

    Someone will no doubt claim that I've drinking the McCoy Kool-Aid for to long but I really do try to ride other boards at least once a month weather it be mine other boards or swapping with friends. Most of the time my friends ride the nuggets a few times and then go out and buy one...or two...

    I'll end the review with a quote I read somewhere on the net, "Geoff McCoy saved my surfing life"

    Nuggets ROCK!

    I find my nugget (potbelly) a good board to brak things up a bit when you get stale etc, they are definately easy to paddle and catch waves on.
    It does'nt have as good a turning circle as a shortboard (wide tail obviously) but does pivot nicely off the wide round tail and if you set your turns up can be surfed fairly vert , fig 8 turns and floating etc are easy and fun on the nugget.

    Ususally ride a fish or my longboard - so thought i would take a gamble on this Mccoy Surfboards Nugget as it seemed to meld the two toghter- and i wasnt wrong! 6'6" surftech model was purchased about two weeks ago and its been nothing shourt of awesome , the massive volume means you catch waes really easy , and i can still duckdive it with no real problems. turns excellently , but what i really liked was the drive i could get off the tail . just waiting for some bigger hollower waves to take it ...

    The Mccoy Nugget board has made me remember why I first got into surfing - the addictive exhilaration of catching and riding a wave. When the evolution of surfing design shifted to thrusters and thinner more slender boards my enjoyment of surfing wanned. I traded in my MR twin fin for the tooth picks that the pros used that took surfing to a new level but as I got older and heavier, I found the new boards made catching waves hard work and no longrer fun. Refusing to buy a Mal, I stopped surfing ...

    Been riding a Mccoy Surfboards Nugget for about a year now.......its the best! This board loves the late drop and fast walling waves. Great in the beach breaks and points alike. These boards are a bit on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for. You will not regret investing in one of these boards.

    I have a McCoy Clone from a guy in FLorida that makes a real quality board. Maybe only 90% as good as the real Nugget, but at half the price, it's a good value and still out performs just about any normal board in wave catching ability and is so manuevable but in control. It's the best board in the water for 3' mushy wind chop or 10' hollow barrels. It's almost impossible to find a drop to steep to make, which is one of the biggest surprises since that is seldom talked about. If you can hang ...

    Buy a poly board, go surf and you will never look back! Fast, so easy to catch waves and take off, fluid and smooth and if the surf gets big, you will be laughing. Only bad point is for the non McCoy users, they definately do not have as big a smile as a McCoy rider has. The McCoy Surfboards Nuggest is awesome.

    I've paddled and looked too many times down that line to see a pretty nice walling wave and I'm not on it; this gets you there and then it's up to you.

    Really good to paddle, the board is in tune with the waves, great glass job. Only bad point is that everyone wants to ride it, and some one tried to steal my board twice. If someone does steal this board I'll just have to buy another and well recommend Mccoy Surfboards Nugget.

    My first Mccoy was a single fin nugget that I bought 4 years ago because I was feeling a bit stale in the water and I needed a bit of variety. I now have a 7'2 gun and a 6'4 nugget (both thrusters).

    I started surfing in the 80's and as a gromet I looked up to power surfers like TC, Crammey and kong. The big moves back then were vertical re-entries, round house cut backs and floaters. And it was these moves that I cut my teeth on and developed.

    As surfing evolved to the air the boards got ...

    most shops sell Mccoy Surfboards Nugget as a begginers boards when in fact they are like a"subaru impressa" of surfboads, anyone can drive one really fast and not crash very much.
    Most people are stuck on the "normal" shortboard, that`s really only good if your "mr slater".
    So fast that when you fall off it`s of the back of the board, not over the nose like you do on boards with tiny rails.
    The wide tail is the accelaerator that most boards don`t have.
