A SHED !!
...to get a hundred or more fins FINISHED !
1] a good 'stub' [my favourite !]
[shaped by pridmore , 'speedneedle ' , robin mair , bill barnfield , or nocean ]
somewhere around ...
15 " nose x 6'- 6'2" x 20" [max !!] x 14-15" tail [ 6-7" pod ] x 2 1/4" - 2 3/8" , from a 6'4 kneeboard blank , probably .
four probox sideys , finbox back fin....
maybe deep double concave , for a bonzer3 or 5 setup , or maybe fairly flattish bottom.
either resin swirled , by 'darth vader ' , or a really nice airbrush spray [or wood vac-bagged] by 'speedneedle' .... or martyn worthington sprayed
... or, a gold spray [? maybe with 'sparkly bits' ?]
fins...
from my bronze metallic fleck fin panels...
a set of four [quads] ,
a set of twin keels ,
a matching single fin and bonzer side runners set .
Also , I'd use the kevlar keels .
And , for good measure ...all of the above , done in the 'glo' in the dark option, too.
2] probably trade the 9'4 mal [? and maybe the Bob Cooper 6'4 singley ? and some other board[s] ?] , for about a 7' x 21" [max !!] small summer waves option board , but with a more pulled-in nose and tail than mini mals. ...similar to the one my mate Wade rides. Set up as a single but with probox sideys , for a widowmaker setup. I'll have to check the bottom contours on Wade's board , cos , maaan .... it FLIES !!
3] I'd also like to try some of michael mackie's and carl ekstrom's latest stuff ....and brother Simon's 'jet bottoms' , IF I only had the right waves for 'em ?!
