Inspired by Chipf’s post on ‘the prawn’ I thought i’d show some other setups for the standard thruster.
If anyone outthere does simaler or completly different things POST shots of them, widdows, twins etc.
To Kick Off…
… The standard twin or thriw. backfin off thruster.
Whilst on twins…
…Small backfin loosens the tail.
Like that fin? I made it, i love the fire effect (made by accident) = )
Ok Josh,
How’d you make the mistake, I like the look.
‘The Widow Effect’
Hows about a THRONZER!!! wtf!!
‘feeling the chipfluence…’
Fibreglass fins made by Chipfish (The sideys) wood and clear fin made by myself (back fins) Black Thrusters made by FCS.
!!!
Hi Hix!
I first spray’d it with silver paint followed by randomly pooring an old tin of yellow enamel that got rusty. I let it sit for days and somehow it wen’t wild and glossy like this…
How 'bout a twuster? Made a twinzer type setup on a fish. Slid a little too much for me. Got inspired by some board pics posted by Greg Griffin on the surfermag design forum, added the fifth fin and she flies!!!
Yes, everyfin on there is recycled/reshaped…
I have yet to try a reverse thruster .
But one day I will. Probably on a fishtail board like the prawn or Surfthis’s .
It’s…
One F.C.S plug an inch or two up from each tip of the fish tail . A single fin up in a finbox, IN FRONT OF the two plugs . *
Too many plugs on the "Prawn’ already for me to try this , but …
to be continued …

Hey Josh
I see something on your board, is it a Hicks sticker or a Swaylocks sticker?
All I can see is a cks…
“TRACKS … the surfer’s bible” [or, at least , that’s what THEY reckon ?! ]

Hey Ben,
That’s exactly where Clyde Beatty Jr. puts the trailer fins on his RocketFish (Tigerfish) boards. I can send you a pic of mine tomorrow if you like. =)
thanks mate …
and a report on how that setup rides would be really good too, please ?
cheers !

that’s strange Josh , because …with me , reading “Tracks” sometimes gives me a momentary depression …
