Shouldn't be long. September mine should be in as I pre ordered early on.

kdropin - I see you went with the 6'1 Razor...do you think you could have gone with the 5'11? Given your height the 6'1 probably feels better but I was curious in regards to the volume of the 5'11.
I have been using prj's volume formula, which seems pretty accurate, and it seems like you went on the high end. Just wondering what your impressions are after riding the 6'1.

[kdropin]

i find its pretty good.. i always wonder how the 5'11 would ride but i'm on the east coast which means inconsistent weak swells for the most part.. we're pumped for a 9sec period swell over here

prj's formula?

i am also always in a wetsuit from a 2mm shortsleeve full to a 5/4 boots/gloves so i do add some weight during certain seasons..

i kinda just followed what nev said with explaining the board he created.. i ride a 5'8 dom which would put me on a 5'10 hellfire.. and nev said to ride the razor 3in up from the hellfire so there u go.. 6'1

[delmarsurfer]

prj's formula for volume is .36 - .37L per kg of weight.
It was on one of the previous Hellrazor posts. Seems like a pretty solid formula.

yeah i saw that on the surfer forum a long while ago

Im giving up on firewire, we had a violent break up and in the end ive decided that they are dead to me. Snapping Hellrazor in April of 2012 after having had it for a month put a dent in my belief behind the product. Firewire was gracious enough to give me a new board at a very low cost and I do not fault their customer service, but after having had that board sit in canada for 8 months before being able to surf it and than have it ALSO snap on me after a month and a half is beyond me. Not including the fact that of the 4 boards I had in my quiver it was being surfed the least.
Took off on a 2 foot wave yesterday and surfed it through, when it closed out I turned towards the beach and held on for a second or so after the closeout before being knocked off my board, coming up only to discover it floating there in two pieces....
Today I was riding my 5'6 spitfire that I bought in october of 2011 which had held up like a champ with no serious dings other than rail cracks and the such. Once again on about a 2 foot wave I went up to do a floater at the end and when I came off the lip and landed I heard a super loud "CRAACK!" and felt the board shudder underneath me. I fell off laughing to myself in disbelief thinking I had seriously just snapped another one. This time the case was a bit minor but still a buckle all the way across the deck and around the rails with some good chunks of glass and foam that I am going to have to cut away.
Ill also note that the snap on my second hellrazor is of EXACTLY the same degree as on my first one. It happend literally in the same spot and the same way, could stick the nose of the first one and the tail of the second one together and you would never know the difference. Also finding fiberglass strands that are lacking resin within the break and whole sections where the resin never bonded to the foam. I suggest some revision of the quality control is implemented.
I love the shapes and the feel, but until I find that the 750 bucks that Im spending on these boards is equivalent to the longevity im getting from them, my money is going elsewhere.
Thank you and goodbye.
