I have ridden Bob's boards off and on for over 40 years and it was because of his intimate knowledge of surfboard hydronamics, I was able to progress to an almost professional level. His passion is..... "insanity harnessed" as he gets so excited whenever he talks surfing and boards. He is one of a kind and anyone that talks with him just gets how special he is. That said.......... The other reason I'm writing this is to say that I've purchased quite a few clothes from your website and have always found them to be of the highest quality. They are reasonably priced too. The speed they have been delivered is phenomenal. Just keep doing what you do in the way that you do it, as you do it well.

Very happy customer for years. Had the honor of buying a few boards of the Legend that Bob is himself. Awesome boards and clothing. Great customer service in a situation where things didn't work perfectly initially.

Have bought a new wool jumper and a new cardigan August 2022. The cardigan is sweet as, went well in Sydney when meeting my favourite surfer of all time Tom Carroll over 2 days for personal meditation initiation. Love the style. Thanks BOB.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars (see below). Without doubt the most helpful surf shop I’ve ever encountered. I had been pondering a new board but was unsure of the direction I wanted to go. Tom and Dave bent over backwards to assist my search and I’m rapt with my decision. There’s something about this surf shop I can’t put my finger on. It’s almost like going over to a mates place and talking about surfing/boards/travel while having a good coffee. It’s also somewhat of a destination surf shop - people travel from all over the world (and Aust) to visit and this makes for great conversations. If I could sum up McTavish Byron in one word it would be genuine (however, soulful also springs to mind). From a genuine conversation over an early morning perfectly made barista coffee with Saffi, to discussing how I can best improve my surfing and get more stoke with Tommy and Dave, you’re guaranteed to walk away genuinely happy. Even as busy as Ben was, he also still happily came out of his shaping bay to warmly say hello and have a brief chat to me and my family (including my 6yo). The craftsmanship and finish of the boards is sublime. Serious Google rating - 6 stars (and then some). Happiness/stoke factor - 10 stars :-) PS A big thankyou to my beautiful wife who gifted me my custom ‘grail’ board that will become a generational gift to my son to share the stoke. Photos to come - yew!!!

So many beautiful boards attended to by patient and welcoming staff. Even if you just want to have a look and dream of some classic lines. Great spot (for surfboard peeps)

Sadly the barista and cafe staff ruin the entire experience. The red headed bloke couldn’t be more rude if he tried, shocking service, if you can’t stand people or hospitality mate work behind a screen!

An awesome surf board shop with top quality products

Great Shop and Cafe, great selection of boards

I’ve had the pleasure of having a couple boards shaped by Bob McTavish. Absolutely stoked with the attention to detail. Thank you Bob, Ben, Nico, Reed, Alonzo and anyone else I’ve missed. Thank you McTavish 🤙🏽

Had one custom board made and another off the shelf. This has by far been the best customer service experience I've ever had. Tom Dodd gave expert advise which board to chose, then updated me every few days about progress, even sent regular pictures and then moved heaven and earth to get the boards in time send to Melbourne. Best in class responsiveness, pro-active customer service and just thoughtful and friendly all around. Super stoked!

McTavish is an excellent company. Apparel is always the very best quality, comfortable, easy to wear and very good attention to detail. Finally I decided to pay the extra dollars and buy a board. The service from Tom was patient, informative and personal. Overall, every experience with McTavish has been the very best. Thankyou!

Great Coffee. Love the friendly crew. High quality goods.. Keep it up fella's (and gals)
