The first board I shaped around 12 years ago its a 5.10 wanted a spray like that since I was a Grom. The fush one is 5.7 19.1/2 x 2.1/2 also one of mine both handshaped in christchurch ,nz and a Gordon Hansen single that he shaped here last year
7’ 2" x 22" eggy thing I just finished. Single fin and a lot of v in the tail. I have only ridden it once and the fin I put in it was probably not right but still a fun board. I have tried most fin set ups but always find myself coming back to a single. I think it is just what works best for my surfing.
The fin I am running is a Rainbow Skeg 8.5, kind of a like Velzy D fin. I will try to post some pics later, but you can check Rainbow’s website
for some pics of it.
I have been trying to get Gordon to make a fin more like the one that originally went with the board. . He has made a dozen templates, but we
have never made it to Island Fins with one he was satisfied with. Maybe my next trip to Oahu.
Nice airbrush on the first one. Looks Worthington inspired.
I really like the red Hansen, too.
The third one looks like an early 70s twinfin with that wide diamond tail.
Here is a pic of the fin I was running, the D fin. And the one I am trying out.

Why’d you sell that board Mark?
I traded it in for one a foot longer locally. I should have kept it, it trimmed great from up the front, and caught the smallest waves. Shoulda kept it.
Nice looking stubby mike hehe
