2 days

O Jeff Mccallum chega a França daqui a dois dias por isso não percam mais tempo e encomendem já a vossa prancha.
Jeff Mccallum arrives in France in two days, so hurry up and order your custom made Mccallum.

Some of my favorite models with words by Jeff himself:

Mini-Simmons

"I built the Second Mini Simmons ever, I made it for RK in 2007. The Second Generation Simmons combines the Spoon Tail and a pre progressive outline. Special edition for Europe, limited series."




J.Jr
"Designed for punchy waves. Hallow beach breaks, or slabing reefs. You want to ride these boards as small as possible, I ride a 5'5'' The idea is to get the board to fit under the lip in these types of waves. The are thin, with a flat deck carried out to the rails, than a drastic change to a progressive rail. This design allows you to ride a thinner board, while keeping the flotation and the sensitivity of the modern rail. Thruster or Quad"


Quagg

"Designed as a fish alternative. All the characteristics of a traditional fish, with an Egg outline. One of my first designs, and one of the most popular. The Curve in the tail creates a looser feel than a fish, while still maintaining the speed and glide. Ridden from 5'3'' to 6'6'' I am 6'3'' 185 and I ride a 5'10'' Great all around board. From mushy points to hollow beaches. Quad or Twin Fin"





New B

"Designed as the ultimate performance, while not a shortboard, Still mantains the paddle of the other designs with a more progressive rocker, foil. Has the same deck design as the j.jr. Quad Fin. "




Mac Deville

"My most popular long board. From 9'6''-12'' Full trim model. Designed for speed an distance. Long Journey Sufr sessions and paddling. One of my favotires."




Spoon

"The Spoons is a very hard board to build, need times and patients. They are 12 layers of glass and two sessions of shaping for this beautifull object. Expert only."
