    The two boards in consideration are a 6'6" Alternator or a 6'6" Hellfire. Finances will dictate timing and I'm not sure which one I'll go for first, but leaning toward the Hellfire at this stage.

    The MB for sure as I need a standard short board in my quiver. The Hellrazor is very cool but seems to have a touch of hybrid.

    The massive single concave reminds me of and old Lost I used to have and love before destroying it with bad surfing.

    The sub is a sweet board indeed. If I didn't own a Futura, I'd have one for sure.

    I had this old Hamish Graham/Rip Curl board that was very similar to the sub. I wished she were still around but I seem to destroy my boards after a while. The FWs are the only ones that last in my little world.
