Does anybody out there know if the great MR spent any time shaping for Strapper Surfboards?? Reason I ask is that a mate of mine has this retro Strapper twinnie and is deadset it was shaped by MR back in the day and tells everybody. I am caught between saying, "yeah that's sick" or "fark, you talk shit" I know MR shapes his own boards under his own label, and i know most of boards MR rode where shaped by Bob Margetts way back when. So do any old school shappers or people in the know, know about MR's history?
Cheers
