Re: Rail shapes for finless hold.
krusher, instead of round 50/50 i use a pointy 50/50. sometimes the whole length, that is to the 12-16" from the tail. and some the 50/50 sharpy first third of the board to a 60/40 sharpy for the next bit until the 12-16" from the tail and ones that really work great (depending on how you ...

Re: Quad Fins for Summer
SG…Aside from leaving out reference to that obscure, functionally one-dimensional design known as “the hull”, which has obviously upset you, I’m not sure what your point is here.

Re: Quad Fins for Summer
nomas, "Stand-up riders apply pressure with their feet, so fins are set towards the tail. Kneeboarders apply pressure through their knees and ankles, so they place their fins much further up from the tail. I..." your THEORY, your comments are a generalization. not all standups put the fins...

Re: Latest Design Wear for Your Paipo Riding
