Roger, I had a customer who lives on Hull Bay in St.Thomas, V.I. The break features a primary left, fairly hollow with a steady shoulder. He asked me if I could build asymetrical boards for the break. He wanted round pins, this was what I designed for him, the first board was for the smaller days, on the front side rail (left side) I pulled in the outline so he could draw a longer turn, kept the tail rocker lower and moved the V up more. The rail was thinner and the fin box for that side was back a small amout with less toe in. All of this was to get more edge and longer turns, the backside rail was boxier and outline was fuller with the V close to the end of the tail. The fin box was up further with more toe in, the idea for this was quicker snaps off the top, higher in the wave, setting up for the drop with another long turn. The other boards were for bigger days, but with the same basic designs. He loved them, bitched it took so long to get them, but they worked the way I planned.

He wants a single fin…I was thinking of a hard down rail square tail on the front side and a soft round pin 50/50 rail on the back side, I really didn’t plan on any vee in the tail but it sounds logical.I like your thoughts on the rst of the rail design.Boxy on the back side?Thinner on the front side?How far would up would you put a fin box?The board will probably be a 9’10" using a 10’1"Y blank with natural rocker.Am I off base here? Thanks Jim…you focking haole.

Thanks Jim…you focking haole. I usually put my single fins at around 7-8" up, but most of these tails were kinda’ pulled in, work off that. Fal Loa lookin’ fo’ you
