btw I had one of those fins (single), but tried it on a kelpy day, mistake. Next time the tab snapped tightening the screw, it was a prototype I think the new ones much stronger. Still would love to try one someday, keep us posted!
Thanks huck. We had a single printed blef snap at the screw from over tightening. But sikaflexed it back in.no worries. Roy is making me a glass set handfoiled. For 270nz. Not much more then some glass fcs quad set…the board is super quick as is and fine on pig dog backhand tubes. Doesn’t side slip like my last one.I was really concerned with the low nose rocker. But the board gets in so early it’s not a problem.was riding it at a local spot that has a take off peak area I don’t usually make it and go a bit further down the line. But it has allowed me to get in at the peak and surf the wave from behind the whitewater as it is fast and easy in… foam is eps insulation . Since I can’t get mako blown eps anymore. That hot wired shit they are selling is only fractional better then insulation foam so no point buying it. Wouldn’t use xps at all it is not great foam.the best eps like mould blown mako does not sucketh water at all.
Oh I cut the rocker with a planer out of block. Cut the outline and bottom contours. Glued on the rails.and free baged the bottom skin on before I touched the deck.so it was flat one side while bagging. I did it that way for no particular reason .seemed easiest at the time with what I working with. Rocker is my own cut by eye. With only a tail measurement. So glad it worked . I was interested to see if I could do my own rocker from scratch .
That’s a beauty Paul! I had thought about what might work to dye/stain wood that wouldn’t compromise the epoxy bond… great thinking. You old compi videos helped a great deal in getting vacuum bagging and skins set up: cheers, glad to see you around!
