I'm going to have to give those a go, always looking for a fin that has good thrust w/o severe cramp potential or excessive width ( e.g. Dafins or Manta Clones). Looking online I see one called the PF3 evolution, asymmetrical but w/ smoother blade , and then one I think they just call PF3 w/ a BIG a...

bdwqld, are you using the Pod 3 Evolution or the one with the angular notched blade ? Looks from photos that the foot pocket won't allow wearing fins on opposite feet to keep the long edge from dragging in the wave face ? Real good propulsion you say ?

Sounds like an excellent time, glad you guys scored some great surf, anybody getting any pics ?

Tahiti, thank you for taking the time to shoot all that, it was great to see the crew and put names to the faces. If I didn't recognize someone I could usually figure out who it was from the board, good fun

Got another vote of confidence for the Scotch 90 spray adhesive from Joe Taylor the other day and I think Buddy uses it occasionally as well, I highly trust those recommendations but I had been trying to avoid it due to the hassle of managing the overspray

anybody ever try that E-6000 adhesive ( I think it's a Shoe Goo product) Supposed to be very high strength with an extremely wide range of materials it can adhere together.

Great bunch of data on positioning ! You got me curious so I just checked my Parkes quad , it's spacing is 1 3/8'' from rear edge of fwd. set plug to front edge of the trailing fin set plug. Anytime you use measuring guidelines from Parkes, Kneeon , Flashpoint, or Blast, you can never go too far ast...

Got the beer chillin and fresh coat of wax on the boards ( which are a part of our living room decor as well).

EQ...you are the Stephen Hawking of the kneeboard world. Well done.

Might not be too crazy loose cause there's a significant space between fronts and rears versus say a Parkes quad where they're tightly clustered

Fun experiment ! How far up from tail did your front fins end up being ?

Wow, that's looks like some good stuff. Hadn't even thought much about using a silicone cause I always considered it more like a sealant than an adhesive , but that looks like a great product. Have you ever used it to adhere a full pad on a board? thanks Contiki

Sf, I think I have the weld wood solvent not water based contact cement, small size bottle with built-in brush, smells like the real deal but label reads "water resistant"...made me wonder. What's the label read on the can ? Thinking of using Aquaseal to both repair a rip and re-glue peele...

I'll just mix the Aquaseal on the kitchen counter, that ought to do it. Thanks Brother.

Been using my Oneil booties lately (full foot not split toe) cause I'm sick of coral cuts on my heels with "flipper slippers". Good, but with the thicker sole a bit tough to get in to some of my fins. Last week I found a 4mm booty made by Argos in Huntington Beach ( see argosx.com ) that a...
