one word, archives
go, search, learn
Ditto what kellerfreek posted. Check the archives. Tons of info on fishes. Come back with more info like your weight, height, skill, type of surf, etc. and you’ll get some responses I suppose. Mike
Hey, man I could share the love… John Mellor sent me his template for a 6 foot fish I could sent it to you, but only if john will post back, and say it’s ok, cuz I don’t want to upset anyone. Just thought it might help. And of course I have to give credit where it is due… Daxx
Heck yeah… I just kind of made it up though, so don’t hesitate to modify it.
Retro Lis Fishies are way cool fun …

Seems like the thing to do since it’s referencing a kneeboard design that was hatched in 70’s or so. NOT that they ALL conformed to the same original set of kneelo spex, either - they just all have the same direct parentage (Steve Lis & Co.). YMMV.
