Mctavish Surf International
Equipment in Byron

McTavish Surfboards is a lofty quality surfboard manufacturer based in Byron Bay, Australia. The McTavish staff make up the most experienced team in Australian board building, many of them with the brand for over 20 years. We now have a 12foot model called The Grace, which is a trim board, designed for graceful surfing, while at the other final of the scale, Ben McTavish has designed the five foot Butterball model, designed for punting airs and having fun in all kinds of surf. Like his famous dad, Ben left school at 14 to make his begin in surfboard manufacturing as a glassed. He later worked for the brand in Australia before moving across to McTavish. Another Byron local, Cal started in the industry in 1971 at San Juan Surfboards, active behind school and weekends when he would also wet rub McTavish boards prior they were gloss coated. Every time I surf, I feel a bit of Bob out there with me. A carpenter by trade, and a gifted surfer on both long and concise boards, Wispy has become a valued test pilot for McTavish designs and works closely with shaker Ben McTavish on the development and design of fresh models. Although he only took up long boarding when he moved to Byron in 2010, he has taken to the glide like a natural. Locke, the in house photographer at McTavish, is originally from Perth but now lives in the Byron hinterland and surfs the many quality breaks of the adjacent coast on a variety of surf craft, although since making Byron his home, he has become a standout lengthy boarder. Greg Saunders also taught his son an early appreciation of surfboards, with more than 30 collectibles around the house for him to try, which is perhaps why one of his favorites now is the historically important McTavish noose 66, along with a 1973 Wayne Lynch six two that, despite being snapped several times over, has taught me about rail to rail surfing and down the line speed.
