The real McCoy 

An insight into the life of innovative and radical surfboard shaper Geoff McCoy who passed last month at the age of 79.
Born in Gosford on the Central Coast of NSW, Geoff took up shaping after complting a pattern-making apprenticeship in the early 1960's.After working under various shapers, he eventually decided to open McCoy surfboards at his own factory in Brookvale on the Northern Beaches of Sydney in 1970.
McCoy was known for his innovative and experimental designs that were ridden by Cheyne Horan during two world title campaigns where he finished runner up on both occasions.
