That Razor was not mine but Matts,the Razor was dropped for the UFO model in the range,I still maintain its a great board as the UFO for anyone coming from a shortboard to a longboard as Chrispy was at the time.

I couldn't tell you how many but 2,723 images at an average of around 10 photo's each board so it's well over 250.
Wow can you send me a jpeg file of that lot so I can steal some artwork ideas truly an amazing collection past and present.
SupAnimal you are stuff of Legend ..... my god I've spent ages just droooooling at your work .... respect big time brother cheers for the smorgasbord of Porn post .... bravo as chrispy would sagely say !
Thanks boys;
It's been fun, made a lot of friends buying and selling but also lost a wife in the process partly due to surfing / surfboards and our lifestyle.
Got me thinking about the best and the worst so I made a list based on my experiences on them all;
Best Longboard - McTavish 9'4 Redline (2205 build) - I had a few but this was the first and by far the best - was made for Bob Mc himself and seemed slightly different to the rack models.
Best 'Traditional' Longboard - McTavish Noosa 66 (2006 build) - super smooth and worked in overhead conditions just as well as peelers.
Surprise Package - South Coast Stylemaster (2004 build) - expected it to be fun but it was an absolute delight on north coast point breaks.
One Board Quiver - Surftech 10'6 Munoz - If I could only have one board this is the one I'd choose....silky smooth in 1-6 foot and a delight to paddle.
Best 'Big Wave' Longboard - MC 9'3 'Mal Gun' - Just at home on 3 foot walls but bring on the juice and the MC carved.
Super Fun - 10' Surftech Bear Waikiki Special - Moments on this I'll never forget.
Legend - Wegener 10' Crusader - Absolute Quality in every aspect of build and performance - the one I regret selling !
