Gary McNeill Surfboards Reviews

The RTT is a speed machine! You know you’ve got a great board when everything just feels right. As soon as I picked it up, I knew the board was going to be good. Same in the water, as soon as I paddled on it, the board was balanced and just seemed to glide. Super easy to paddle into waves and really fun to surf...I couldn’t be more happy with my Gary McNeill RTT

Wasn't too sure about the board at first as I haven’t had much experience on a twin fin but persevered with it and quickly learned to enjoy it. Now it’s pretty much the most ridden board in my quiver.

Love it, could possibly go a little more volume, but otherwise i love it.

The twin fin goes really well in 2 foot plus and okay in 1-2. Likes a clean face to put down clean rail to rail turns, also has really good drive off the bottom and controlled release when wanted.

Great board, really happy - dudes look at it in the car park all the time. Good measurements for me and my wife wants one.

The RTT goes really sick. It floats a lot better than it seems based on the streamlined dimensions. Personally I was worried it wouldn't ride enough like a fish, but so far it has felt really solid, effortless speed, clean arching manoeuvrability. I'm using the (Futures) Sea Shepard keels and they are super good, great momentum with great control on small to medium sized waves. I was surprised how responsive it was, very controlled and simple to surf, it feels lively and cooperative.

For a little fish this board is amazing, it handles the juice, it also feels short, I think I could have easily gone a 6'0 as flying down the line would not be impacted by an extra couple of inches. Gary's boards are very refined so don't hesitate to get some extra thickness, he will hide it and performance will not be impacted. Will be tring this board some twin fin fins also, hold is amazing with the Rasta keels.

Incredible board! Now surfed in different type of waves and it works well on fat to hollow waves. I tried 4 different fins on the RTT and mainly surf it with the Akila Aipa as it drives like mad and gives it a nice loose feeling. For bigger steeper days when take offs are going to be challenging, I surf it with the Rasta twins as it is still fast but provides added hold on the drop! The wide surface area of the board gives it a very forgiving and comfort feeling while riding the waves. Natural speed flows into long nice carves or loose fins out depending on the fins you use. I surfed the RTT on small to 4ft reef breaks and fat to hollow. I found it most fun on fat onshore days.

This board is great! I've bought it as an all-rounder and have not been disappointed. Paddle power is better than expected and has increased my wave count for sure. The outline is a bit different in that it's narrow enough through the nose and has some tail lift to take steeper drops but rounder through the body giving some forgiveness and drive in smaller days. On top of all that the artwork is amazing and SPC construction seems really sturdy. Thanks Gary!

Super fun board. Despite it's small size, it is a really drivey solid feeling board. Doesn't get up speed that quickly on flatter waves, it seems to need a hollower or bigger wave to get that tail lift happening for it to feel loose, once you have a bit of speed though, its really fast and responsive and holds a solid rail through turns. Paddles really well for a small board.
