An idea for you this morning

How 'bout a fin adjustment system where the user could dial in the placement of the fin fore and aft using a little deck-placed thumb-wheel similar to that on an Apple iPod. That would activate a worm drive that would micro adjust the fin. Between waves you could play with the fin - not have to get off, flip it over, possibly lose the screw, bang away at it with your hand, etc. When you get it adjusted the way you like it, “save” that setting. Waves 2-3 feet? Fin A/Setting 4. Waves 6-8 feet and really hollow? Fin D/Setting 9. Your turn

You don’t want the base of the fin to move around, especially when it is highly loaded. This means a very secure (tight) fit. If the fin was in the box loosely enough to be moved even by a worm gear the base would have room to shift. If you can figure out a way to get the secure fit and minimze the friction to the point of utilizing a thumb wheel. But, I spose if you rigged some hydraulic ram in there you could pump them back and forth.

Fin D/Setting 9.>>> Your turn Imagine something that weighs ounces, not pounds, and yet is so fast that it can glide across flat shoulders to connect with the next distant section. Imagine being able to easily adjust volume, flotation and flex between waves. Imagine the longest, hardest carving turns youve ever done... but, without the use of any fins. Imagine a design whose top and bottom surfaces move independently, and a shape so sensitive that it actually changes its shape in direct response to the curves and textures of each wave. Imagine only needing one design for all the types and sizes of wave conditions youll ever experience. Imagine riding something that requires the least amount of effort to unleash maximum performance… a shape that surfs itself most of the time, pulling you into the purest of trajectories. Imagine something that gains more control and goes faster in choppy, twisted waves… and imagine the surf spots those characteristics open up. Imagine the freedom of traveling with several of your favorite surfcraft in a small, carry-on sports bag, and surfing with something that feels and responds so naturally, that dolphins find pleasure in gliding alongside.

Imagine a swarm of pestulant bookies being over ridden by the one true Bonta (of which is myself). MY WAVE!!! Bonta

PS Can I make a BONTA model surfboard (I promise it will be over 10’ long!)?? Just picture the logo… bookies being scattered left and right…

Cleanlines, back in the 1930’s they used to call paid protection. Racketering & extortion. Today its called insurance & administrative cost!
