...now move to the next stage - adjusting all fins forward back and adjusting toe-in. I'm fitting such an adjustable system to all my boards and really enjoy the versatility it provides. You can ride the same board and fin set 2'-10', explore your theories and learn a lot about the interaction of o...

Thanks heaps to all of you - great feedback and can't wait to have a crack (was talking earlier today to a mate who has quite a selection of FCS fins, so it looks like he may become my personal FCS test centre!). Will let you know how I go. Again, thanks for the excellent advice. Its true that fins...

Sounds like what you're doing works for your style.What I don't get is I TURN FROM MY FEET...?What does that mean? I can understand the 13/6.5,but where is the wide point?Widepoint back of center,to shorten the turn radius,pulled in nose so it don't catch? Widepoint center and fins further back,wil...

Hey , sounds cool! I've been working with cork and and polyester low blown foam, plus wood.I'm onto alternatives to polyester resin and epoxy as well, I'll let y'all know how it goes. When the world is runnin down, you make the best of whats still around.

Chuck Smith, Freddie Rod. and afew others are on an indo boat trip, so cool! And I'm ........well I'm here.....I hate those guys! but I hope they score!

Got ya beat brother I'm 53, what a thing to brag about ha!

keel fins draw long lines, the longer the base the harder it is to do tight turns, I like a narrow based more straight up posture in fins with a slightly wider tip, but thats my take on it and whats cool is that all designs have some mitigating factor, keep searching!

Thanks for the input Jack and Randy. I would like to take the groms down this summer but have to be sure its safe. Mex has always had the danger factor, that along with the waves, food, and lack of crowds where the main reason I traveled in mex extensivly in the 80's and 90's, surfed breaks that I ...

Hey check it out first time I've been called a grom in .... ah..... well you know what I mean, kinda cool... I'm just saying

OK - enough with this devil worship! You guys just bought yourselves 10 to 15 years in the hot room downstairs. Thanks to Ed for some pretty creative and hilarious writing. Also thanks to Steeno for the props and the great times back in NZ at the '99 Worlds. I'll never forget the wiffle ball games ...

I picked up my new board the other day-custom hand shaped and glassed by local S.D. shaper Mark Schneider-5'7" x21"x 2 1/2" quadfin fish-EPS/Epoxy with parabolic stringer'sParabolic stringers are bolsa wrapped around the edge of the rails, about 2" in, replacing traditional down...

I'm wondering how heavy a glass job for my new stick I was thinking 4 oz on the bottom and 2x4oz top deck....... I weigh 90 kg's Any input guy's ? You more than likley have your board but as far as glass jobs go the main reason for dents and d-lams is the foam, it might sound odd but a higher densi...

cool razor, I was stoked that you came to watch it get shaped and add your input. hope you score in indo! and I got your extra plugs to take along.

tomaway, I don't see any real issues with the deck strength for kneeboards. I'll work with Danny on the frame to see if there may be any tweaks we can do for the critical area under the knees. I'm used to foam which does "dent" a bit under the pads which creates noticeable pocket for each...
