Ben,
awesome- I’m stoked on mine. I’m going to rummage through the Swift board library and see if I can borrow something fishy with FC to really give those cutaways a serious run. I have the big board set up with the other hemp fins you sent and a big Greenough center fin- sort of widow on steroids deal. Felt good in the smaller waves I was playing around in but probably better if there had’ve been a bit more push. I’ll maybe start mixing the starfin or spitfire in a see what happens!
Great thread Ben…Not sure how I missed it earlier on! I would love to make some skegs out of hemp…
(just for the record, I do not partake in the smoking of Mary Jane, I just think it’s a nice alternative…)
cheers mate
maybe if it’s not outlawed in america ? i can send you enough for a few fins ?
cheers
