The Review  :-)
My brother and I only got to test out our new mod fishes so far.

A few points of interest:
The keel throws a lot of spray
Is super loose off the top like the cheater 4
Takes late drops and carves like a thruster
Projects far with no effort


The 5'5" 19 1/2" 5 fin mod fish from the few waves my brother let me try:
This one is unreal!
Super loose and flicky
Fins out of the lip with no effort
Anyone who rips out there needs to get one in these narrower dimensions, 
A damn exciting board

Thanks to Greg for creating another batch of top quality boards.

welcome back to Swaylocks , Greg !

 

  I like the keel / twin fin hybrids !

 

  I prefer them to the 'standard keels I've made . More manouevrable , while still having plenty of hold and drive . It started for me with the old len dibben twinny I had 13 years ago [but it was a ? 1978?  board ] . The twinnies had a slightly bigger base , a bit like a keel , so I took it from there , played around with the template a bit , and made a pair of hemp inlay twin / keel type hybrids , which I loved .

So much fun plaing around with fins eh Greg !

 

 I like the orange and the yellow boards , do you spray and glass them , also ?

 

what bottom shape did you put on them ?

 

  cheers !

Bottoms are flat which maximizes the planing surface while also maximizing the rocker in it. :slight_smile:

Foiled Tucked hard edge nose to tail .

Very precise fin shape , size and placement - Big Ego Here :slight_smile:

I just shape make fins and deal with the Glamintaors .

Nice boards

5

Sweet!

6

Fusions and plugs are both used .

At the shop I am at sometimes the Fusion boards take longer.

7

Greg, why did you go back to FCS plugs instead of Fusions?  Also, I’d love to see that wider tailed board you mentioned somewhere.

all the best

Beautiful Greg, As always. love the lime green.

Those are nice, I like that green

…hello man, the boards look right.

I use a lot the flat bottoms and tucked edges too.

One thing that I see often in most shapers, is that the quality of the logotypes is not the best. I put a lot of attention in that. When I walk around a surf shop that sell my boards and compare with other boards there, really makes the difference.

The tints involved, the paper quality and to have a White edge to have better contrast with the board colors.

The Red one is the most noticeable one in these photos; check for example, that the clear part of the paper is not translucent

There is a whitener added to the resin which collects in the paper .

This paper is the best . :slight_smile:
