Evergreen Bob McTavish recently had a reunion of sorts when a kneeboarder rocked up unannounced on his factory doorstep. The kneeboarder was Gary Self and he was holding two spoons Bob made back in 1974. They were part of a batch of four spoons Bob shaped, one of which (the red one) currently resides in the Gold Coast Surf Museum.

Following the reunion the McTavish crew had a mass gathering of spoons - the three '74 models plus four new ones - on the lawn of the McTavish Byron Bay factory. In the words of Bob, "They looked awesome lined up together out the front".
