By his own admission Maurice Cole is a far better designer than craftsman. He works better with his head than his hands, and MC's 'head full of ideas' manifest themselves in some of the most progressive surfboard shapes going around.

In this short clip, Cyrus Sutton and the Korduroy.tv crew catch MC in the shaping bay riffing on design and also ripping the top off his beloved Bells Beach.

Been surfing MC boards since I was 14, I'm now 52. Surfed others but none as fast, as loose and they just carve. They also look awesome.

Hi Brutus , how do your deep concaves go in fat waves? or do they need power to get em up and moving?

Hold onto it and it might just become your most valuable board too.

Still remember Maurice from when he was the hottest young grommet in Warrnambool. Last time I saw him was when he and his young mates got me to buy them some alcohol from the drive in bottle shop.

And Maurice, as a fellow ageing heterosexual male who works pretty hard on his fitness, you are looking pretty slim and taut. Well done.

I don't do bad days ....that's why I only make a few here in Australia , and shape when I am really sharp...shit is that why I only get 6 bds done a mth!!! hehehe

I also have a policy that I will refund money on a board someone doesn't like.......it did happen once!!

Got my first MC 5 years ago for my 40th, felt like a grommet again. So much speed, getting to parts of the wave I never had before. Now riding a custom metro, best boards ever!!
