I should wait until it’s finished and post in resources but… well, here is a hoop finned paipo for JeffCh I’ve been working on recently. I was sanding when my girlfriend came out to take a pic - hence the mask.
The hoop will have a shorter profile once the plug tabs are squared away and fitted.
The final version - pinlined, glossed, etc with dimensions will eventually be posted under resources.
John , paint it yellow [or red] , make it about 8’ longer [at least !!] , wear a yellow [or red] wetsuit [or kilt , perhaps?] and a helmet , when riding it .
"roy , the better part of roy and hg " [“in my opinion”]
[…anyone here see “Coneheads” ? …remember the rings THEY used ??]
I might have to ask Roy how the hoop fin works when stand up surfing , I reckon .
It’s got me intrigued .
…Not quite the same thing as the ‘tunnel fin’ looking contraption you had in the nineties , eh Cheyne ? But THAT was definately one I would like to hear about one day, too . [I think it’s in the ‘green iguana’ movie , where you’re standing on the beach with it ?]
