Inspired by chipfish

More pod configuration options= Mo’ betta! Matching fin sets are overrated anyway, right?

Probably not going to run all of them at once… But I could, if I wanted to!

THanks to ben for the inspiration on this one. :slight_smile:

discaimer : -

due to previous groin injury chipfish today goes on record as in no way endorsing 7 blade knifes …er… 7 fin weapons …in the lineup…

hey Jarrod, WHAT have I started??

…aargh !!!

…texas fin saw massacres galore !!

please let me know how it goes mate !

keep up the creativity …

ps - reminds me of your barracuda boards bert !

that board is a photogs worst nightmare. i bet with that board less people will snake you. i know i wouldnt want to be on the recieving end of that stick

Strangely and sadly I don’t see a single fin box in there somewhere, Turbohog. If you are going to go all the way, the original ingredient needs to be added.

And a single or in-line set-up is definitely something you should try.

Have fun and don’t run me over, or you’ll be up for a fortune in ding repairs.

Shwuz,

How does that “bathtub” concave go?

Well, I’ve only ridden it once so far… I decided to go ahead with the additional boxes after my first ride, and that’s when I found that it had been leaking, so it’s been drying since then.

The only think I can say about it for sure was that it seemed to be getting into waist-high gutless waves just as early as, if not earlier than, anything other board I ride. Now that I’m almost done with a new sealer coat and fin install, I plan on putting some test time in. It’ll definitely be going with me to mexico this winter. Going to put some local mexican friends on it and hopefully get some video.

And no, I won’t be riding it with all seven fins, that might be just a little bit of overkill… Seems like it’d be tracky.

By the way, to anyone else who has ridden cheap EPS/epoxy boards… Do the rails always feel slightly squishy on duckdives?

Yep, on pop-ups too. At least, glassed with double 6. Double 10, feels just like a poly-poly board.

Cool benny, at least it is “normal” for these things.

…INTERESTING comment, eh , Jarrod ?

I recall mentioning the same, that I’d like to ride the fat penguin as a single fin first…

… ? great ? / similar minds think alike ? " chip "

ps- it’s never too late to put a finbox in, by the way ! You may just need to move the fin way forward in the finbox [say a 10" box, IF you can fit it in] , because of the ‘bathtub concave’ ! That’s a GREAT expression, LeeV ! One to add to the glossary, I reckon !!]

I actually was really close to putting in a “real” center box, but I didn’t have any room to spare. Since I had the leash cup on the stringer, I had to sand down the bottom of the futures box just to get that in.

Maybe I’ll do full box retrofit later. :slight_smile:

…or, maybe you could just shape " Pingu no.2" , just as a single fin next time ? …
