Very sad news, but I learn today that Colin McCulloch passed away this morning (29 July 2009).
From the information available on his website and in the English grapevine, Colin McCulloch had been fighting a brain tumour for just over a year now.click for larger version
Colin McCulloch was the shaper behind Lost Cause Boards. His boards were really famous and are riden by some of the top riders in the world including 5 times World Champion Aaron Hadlow.
Colin's had also been shaping boards for some of the top kitesurfing brands and as recently has last year was still the shaper behinh many boards in the Airush range.

According to many people who have known him, he was full of life and always having a laught.

At Hanglos, our thoughts go to his wife and young family.

A tribute post on the kiteboarder.co.uk forum has been started as many riders there rode his boards or knew him personally.
