The potbelly suits me, since I'm more a front foot surfer than a back foot. They take a bit of getting used to because of the volume, but I don't agree they that they are for average surfers or not steep waves. I really find it predictable and trustworthy in bigger stuff. The biggest I've had it out in is 10ft in Manly Sydney where I live, but I have a suspicion this board would suit waves like Cloudbreak. It doesnt look like it should work (its all round, short etc) but despite the looks, when you get it in big stuff it works. Early takeoffs, and down the line speed. It seems to pick it's own line and holds well into the wave face, particularly for me on the backhand. Its not a pump and slash machine, its going with the wave energy, rather than needing the surfer to generate speed. Yet to prove it, but I really think this thing will like tubes. Went to Cloudbreak Fiji & the Maldives last year with my usual 6'8

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 out in now to see what its really made of

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 on it'll make that vertical drop and lead right into a sweet bottom turn.

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.
