A very interesting board. It would be fun to try it out sometime.

Is the widest point about a 3/4 down the board toward the tail or is this just my eye playing tricks. The rail looks like half an almond or is this also an optical delusion on my part.

3" behind center bob and the rails are a variable but, super sharp hull rail, high in the front and super low in the tail.

heres a couple of photos of the fin set-up. i do move them back and forth occasionally to change it up and not necessarially for wave conditions, just different rides.

the board ended up a little thinner than i thought so thats the reason the rear of the fin doesnt sit all the way down. could sand it down, lazy.

Wow very cool looking board! Hows it ride?

[soulglider]

Super duper. Really fast. Easy duckdiver too!

Surprising to me it would need/be able to use that large of a fin. I would be very tempted to try it w/ a much smaller version, sort of proportionate. Esp since having legs/flippers if needed to recover tail slide if it starts to pop out and slide. If it would still hold you would get even more speed due to reduced drag.

You have really got the hang of those hulls Tim.
Pretty Damn Sweet.

hey thanks grumpy. its all i put my mind into these days. i cant say enough about them. i am working on a 4'5 version. i cant go much shorter, my big self drags at around 48" if you know what i mean?

heres a photo of my 11.25" fin. havent used it yet but will as soon as the waves bump up to at least 1-2'
