In 1971 the SURF SYSTEMS ‘‘NewShape’’ was a Fish design, minus the butt crack.        It had an arc tail.   (aka BroomTail)       The NewShape was offered as a single fin, tri fin, and twin fin.        The same template was used to make the SURFBOARDS HAWAII ‘‘Gemini’’, in production that same year, and was offered only as a twin fin.      The design has been produced (as a Fish) in sizes ranging from 5’ 10’’ to 7’ 2’‘, with excellent results.    As a blended design, an all-time favorite of mine was a BroomTail design, that was  7’ 10’’ x 21.5 ‘’, configured as a ‘‘reverse widowmaker.’’      That board was a delight at La Jolla Shores, as well a big WindanSea.      Quite a versitile design.

Reverse widowmaker?

Two small sidefins, out near the corners of the tail, behind the main single fin.       Someone recently called the setup a Reverse Widowmaker.       I thought it was a good description.

Just watched it.  Good film.  Some great fish surfing. And I learned some things too.

All the best
