Nice looking board mrmike. Is that a piece of the nose turned up to add some nose rocker much like a nose block?

[mrmike]

it is a nose block cut off the blank before I shaped it

Good to see you back in the swing of things

Good to see you can't help yourself again. I'm looking forward to seeing more of these beauties.

After the week-end I plan to post some photos of my new board - a similar planshape, but more stretched out.

Was looking at the pics on my phone so it looked funny.

So tell us about how that fin feels when you ride it

[mrmike]

can't tell yet surf to small to tell. I have made boards with hoop fins before work good if you get some speed going. I don't keep them long people like them just something different I guess

Lovely looking board Mike, how do the hoops feel compared to finless?

A little more bite on a fast steep face
