cheers , foamdust ! [ I have more , too ..... around the place .....'somewhere ' !! .... hahaha !]
AND , Mark , this may interest you ...
I had a surf on monday with a guy riding a "speed square" [bing surfboards] ...
He got it sent from cali ...in fact , he has THREE of them , apparently [the one he was riding had glassed-on small keels ... [yes , I took photos!] . He had the 4'6" one.
We got talking , and I mentioned he could have probably got an aussie one and he said yes , he had "checked out More surfboards in the 'eastern states ' " [on the internet , I assumed ...]
They start out from my favorite plastic foils then I mod. Them to work on wakesurf boards. Then if they work I will cast them in plastic. They all work great with with boxes set for drive.
**This **panel includes four of your ‘Wildy’ templates , Greg ! ( Which , to fit the panel , had to be made more upright than the originals you sent a few years ago now, Greg ! …)
Aloha Zack, The above photo is exactly what was happening in 1971, right down to fin shape and position. Looks like the ‘‘PressLock’’ tri-fins that I had produced back then. I still consider it to be one of the best fin setups.
How did I miss this thread? Since getting one of wil Jobson’s twinzers, I’ve been starting a collection of canards. Now I need to get them out and take a group pic (coming soon).
Bernie and I started resurrecting the Koa board that those off cuts came from. We sliced it in half then added 2 new panels of EPS and reset the rocker. We saved the top panel which was Bamboo, and the bottom section which is the Koa. Bernie will end up with 2 new boards when this is all done. Got it all in the vacuum bag then I left. Bernie will have to pull it out tomorrow and then put all the jigs away.
We surfed this morning with JT1 and Foamdust too. Friday I surfed with JT1 and Warrior1515. Waves were head high at best, but mostly waist high or smaller. I didn’t get any of the head high waves, too many guys out today.
some fins by the guys at alkali in ballina.
