Hello everyone, my name is Cristian, I am from Argentina, I have found this beautiful and interesting forum, I have already read a few “discussions”, many people with great knowledge and a lot of experience.
I am dedicated to making miniature boards, replicas and with my brand, but the vast majority are beyond my knowledge, I try to investigate as best as possible but my young age and difficulty with the language are barriers that I try to overcome. By the way, I am using a translator.
Getting to the point, I am working on a Hobie super mini Corky Carroll and I have 2 questions,
About the Hobie logo “graffiti style”, what do you know about the use of that graphic and the one used later?
The Fin, which one was used on that board? I know about the DogBone system but I can’t find a photo of the fin profile.
OK. I don’t know about that resin color work, but the rest of it is pretty norm for a CC Mini of that era. I had one that was in great shape. Can’t remember the color, but it was a green or yellow cutlap onto the deck. Sold it to a guy who was thrilled to have as it was in great shape and those boards were great riders.
Been quite a few years back; but I think it was a Polypropylene molded fin. Wide base, cut out in the middle with a wide rounded tip. I am thinking it was a lot like the early molded Yater fins. ‘Bout all I can recall.
