I don’t know Cheyne personally but he and I exhchanged some interesting e-mails last winter when I inquired from his web site about the winged keel fin design he uses. It seems that the fin design was something derived from an America’s Cup keel design. My interest was in how well they might perform in a performance longboard and the feedback I got from him was positive. They are available online from his site in AU ($45.00) and as I recall he will provide you a North Shore mailing address to keep the S/H costs down, very reasonable with the exchange rate applied.

I dont know the exact nose and tail measurements, but the nose looked to be somewhere around 13" and the tail 16" round tail. It was 2 7/8" thick. He was using one of those gull wing fins like on the website, exactly which one I dont know. Unfortunately I only got to see him catch a couple mediocre waves. Aloha, FD
