I forgot to mention… this is for chipfish… This board works great as a twin. I’ve currently set it up with a trailer for winter at the beach in San Francisco. I don’t have that many fins for a twin, so I’ve been fairly limited in trying different setups. I’ve also surfed it as a thruster… to stiff. I also tried it in Costa Rica with Vector 3/2s and a hatchet center fin… waayyy too stiff. It went straight like a mo-fo, but didn’t turn at all.
I’ll be getting some more foils from Futures soon. I’ll let you know how it goes.
thanks for that Kendall !
what are the widths of that , and the rocker , please ?
[only me , but…] it seems a bit of a pity that it doesn’t have a big bahne back fin box , as I’d like to ride it as a single fin , too ! [still , you can always put one in , I guess , if the urge ever hits you !]
cheers

Yikes! Hahaha.
I’ll get back to you with dims. I’m wondering what it will do with some modern small keels. The thing I like about this board is how skatey it feels. I’m afraid a single may negate that. It looses its feel with thrusters… and the Vectors w/ hatchet was godawful… it tracked straight, but refused to turn.
I’m not the one to ask ask. I’ve collected too much of everything in the past. Over the last few years I’ve toned down my “more is more” attitude… divorce helped with that. Now I mostly just obsess with surfboards and guitars. You can never have too many of those. I use my stuff though. I’m about function, not wall hangers… except maybe those Reno boards from my other thread… and maybe a balsa Brewer or two… and a Velzy… and a…
My girlfriend surfs - along with a lot of other stuff I like - so I’ve stopped looking at other girls.
