    Hey Core what size Spartan you looking at getting
    What do you think are the major differences from the Taj pro

    Shorter, thicker, wider and I'm thinking the rocker is slightly more linear rather than the huge kick the Taj has.
    The 5'10" Spartan is the equivilant of the 6'1" Taj volume wise I think.

    not sure yet..need to replace my 6'2 hi-perf...should be on a 6'0 from a purely volume perspective, but i'm lugging and a bit creaky at the moment and may welcome a bit more to push forwards against on take off in the 6'2.. Nev used to shape me rockered 6'3's that were 19 x 2 1/2 med to full rails so might be good to revisit that kind of board...loved them...or should i get a hellrazor...or a taj...or replace my 6'2 x 18 3/4 x 2 1/2 flexfire...struth...i'll just flip a coin...!

    as phill said..more cushin' for the pushin'...

    Hey Chris or Justin, any chance you can post some pics of the rocker profiles for both the Spartan's & Hellrazor boards.
    Real photos give a more accurate image of the boards profile than just the 2d images.

    Also any news of the new Lost models

    Cheers guys.

    Anyone seen the new Hell Razor yet? Curious as to its rails thickness especially on the tail bite. Anything like the step down rails on the Hell fire?

    Hey Fritz,
    big differences: a mellower bottom contour on the Hellrazor and a square tail. Slightly less volume per unit length. Its going to track a lot more like a shortboard where the hellfire has more of the flow and tracking tendencies of a hybrid. In the grand scheme of things the differences are somewhat minor, but when compared to one another, that is how to differentiate between the Hellrazor and Hellfire.
