Leave the board in wet beach sand for a month, and the fins grow out

Looks like you have a fellow traveller when it comes to the parallel fins. Have you ridden it yet?

Hilarious. If you leave 2 in the sand, you might just end up with 3, or at least eggs.

Very vaguely reminds me of obscure board I briefly had in mid '90's. I was molded from almost literally "bomb proof" automobile bumper foam and had chine rails, molded "fins" like on your original posted above (though closer to 1/2 way between midline and rails), and very slightly dished deck. Problem was it had plenty of volume and then some, for a 300 pound Samoan. And I weigh about 125 lbs. It was so dense I could not cut or sand it to thin it, at least not with hand tools. Some sort of free hand hotwire would have possibly saved the day. I never could handle the volume enough in water to get any sort of feel for how it rode.

i'm guessing your going to have to move very far back on the board to get over the fins and make them the turn pivot point loosing speed and plane.

What was your design idea of the fins so far back?

Strangely it needs me to move far forward when riding on steep faces, not one of my better boards still better than a sponge board

Would you consider making the fins smaller?

They were smaller it was 2 weeks work to make them larger I wish I could change between the two on the test day
