hws surfboard and wiggle fin

hey guys, this is a board my mate just bought for $100. from a gland local. will have pics of it surfing soon.


I may be wrong but I thought that hws is “hollow wood surfboard”.

That board does not look hollow.

I’m curious how that fin rides!

hi mate, yes its definitly hollow in some places, i has a bottom and top glued together with rails. its not solid!

thanks for posting feral dave! i’m intrigued

if he rode the board upside down , he would have competition with bob tinkler . He could call it the "sphincter-tickler tail / fin " board. Just be careful sitting waiting between sets . ouch groin damage revisited … don’t make me show THAT photo again !

…a "gland local’’ sounds painful , mate !

[and then I realised …"g-land’', aka garajagan . Wow that would be a challenge , riding THAT fin at g-land , I would reckon !]

Ha!!

More like a prostate tickler.

Let’s see you make one of those, Chip.

Imagine one of those giving your tailpipe a good snotting.

Quick …someone ask Tom Carroll if he would like to er try that fin out ?! [Go on , ask him …I dare ya !] Preferably next time he is surfing in Japan …

I’d like it on the worldwideweb famous "fletcher tail’’ better , Ralph …

too bad THAT thread got locked , instead of “that other guy” [who now , I have noticed , masquerades as “bintheredunthat” … everybody , beware ! [his bad spelling gives him away , EVERY time ! hah hah hahaha]

…if the G-land local was an ex-pat Aussie [? by any chance ?] …

…it didn’t happen to be that guy with the helmet , “Camel” , did it ?

cheers , Dave !

ben

I’ve tried lots of fins, but never anything like that!

I’m sure it will work, but hey, everything works.

I think it would be better off in an art gallery.

welcome Greg !

how’s things …been making any fins yourself , lately , ready for your return ?!

cheers !

ben

That’s the plan.

It’s good to get a few waves I can tell you!

But most of all I’m looking forward to making myself a new techy board.

…so , how’s the surf been lately , in “Colorado” , Greg ?!

hehehehh [private joke now made public thanks to bits and bytes and bens]

ben

Go on Ben, I’ve got some corregated iron and some ripple fence you lay one up in…

imagine what a nightmare to get the tip perpendicular to the bottom of the board ?

and , how would you extract it out of your head / groin/ leg / buttock cheek , without the "wiggly bits snapping off inside you and becoming newly implanted internal organs ?

…no thanks …give me fins that go straight in and out like a dagger , any day ! […no comments , thanks , Mr. ‘Rubberlove’ !]

So, how’s it ride???
