Geoff McCoy Designs<br />
The icon is back...<br />
Phase I<br />
5’ - 6’6”<br />
1974/5 - <strong>2012</strong><br />
This is the original design of the icon<br />
Lazor Zap, the original template that later<br />
became the modern short board disaster<br />
with its impractical slender low volume<br />
extremely hard to surf performance.<br />
The basic design concept of the Lazor Zap<br />
was to increase area and volume in the<br />
back half of the board using only one fin.<br />
The design concept not only worked, it blew<br />
minds around the surfing world, and history<br />
shows how it achieved four times 2 nd in the<br />
world titles and a 1 st under the feet of the<br />
great Cheyne Horan.<br />
This extremely advanced design is<br />
now being copied world wide by all, so<br />
many years later. These facts speak for<br />
themselves and indicate the amazing<br />
capabilities of the design concept that Geoff<br />
calls his ENERGY THEORY.<br />
Phase II<br />
5’ - 6’6”<br />
2005 - <strong>2012</strong><br />
Now performing better than ever since<br />
Geoff adjusted performance features giving<br />
the design, smoother dynamic curves, more<br />
even thickness distribution this in turn has<br />
balanced the board in a practical way.<br />
This allows a much wider range of skill<br />
levels to enjoy the true features and<br />
performance available from this original<br />
GROUND BREAKING design, now 30-plus<br />
years old and outperforming all other retro<br />
designs and the modern short board by a<br />
country mile!<br />
Every McCoy surfboard is the result of Geoff’s uncompromising<br />
design approach which integrates style, hydro dynamics and pure function.<br />
The Lazor Zap / Nugget design, features compact hydro dynamic curves, under<br />
scoring the concepts of pure performance oriented efficiency that inspired them.<br />
These unique designs develop a personal, emotional connection with the surfer<br />
through their superior capabilities on the wave.<br />
