A few pics of my custom Taj ?

Hi

I ordered a custom Taj through my local shop that long ago I could probably take it to the Antiques Road Show with my family treasures if it turns up?

I ordered this for a dream once in a life time trip to the magical Mentawais this April, with this being now less then 3 monts away I have doubts if this mythical board is ever going to show!!!!! Is there any way I can trace this board? I keep pestering the guy from said shop, but he is not instilling me with confidence telling me it might turn up in his next shipment, which is his last order before i go away! With so little to choose from with Firewire stocks been so low in the UK, I may have to do the unthinkable and order a PU board which I haven't done in 5 years of enjoying such a good products from Firewire. However on a £5000+ surf trip I would be gutted to rock up with just the one board. HELP PLEASE?

Many thanks for any help in advance! Sunny

Has any one surfed both boards if so can you help me descide between the two boards. I have surfed 6'0 hellfire and thought it was a good board but was a bit chunky, was thinking the 5'10 would be better? I love the look of the sub but dont know any one who has surfed it, Iwant the board to cover variaty of waves at local breaks (East coast England) slow to punchy beach breaks and the odd point break when they work. I do have a6'2 alt round tail, i have owned a few firewire boards; sweet potato,el feugo ,dom and futura so familiar with the tech. I have placed a order months ago for taj custom in the hope of getting it for my Mentawai trip in April (looking like i might not see that board before i go which i was suprised ordering it so early...... but thats another story) I have read threads on the sub and hellfire both sing each ones praises so if anyone could help me descide between the two would be great help.
