Mate thought you might be interested- this is a pic of my first board, which i still own, bought second hand on the goldcoast around 1980- Mike Davis Stinger- If any one can tell me anything more on it thatd be appreciated- cheers.

Well Tony, you are in luck.
Your board is a part of a series Mike Davis shaped inspired by MR's famous "$8000 board". A Ben Apia shaped flame spray that Mark bought in 1977 in Hawaii and went on to win back to back contests on. He latter adopted the design himself making many replicas under his own label. You can read some more of the results of my amateur research below.
