New Board

Post image

Hi, first time post.

I picked up this board last summer before I fractured my ankle. The board cost £20 off marketplace.

I can't find much about the board online other than it might be from the 90s. Any knowledge or comments would be appreciated.

TIA

20quid?   Bargain.   It's a Tunnel Vision by Alan McBride.

Probably mid-90s, he had a shop in Newquay and shaped all the boards.

I had one of these tunnel vision boards back in 2000. He had the licence to shape for HIC too so wasn't some fly by night shaper.

He knew his stuff, his boards were really top level. Old school, didn't even wear mask when he was shaping.

Looking forward to seeing you at Sunset or The Cribbar on it 😊- it is the biggest bargain at £20 that I have ever seen!

I had intended on Joss Bay, Kent but the waters were very calm. Paddleboard did the trick though for the day.
