Re: THE PHAETON F-44 BARRELHAWK
I'm pretty sure I saw the shaper of those boards back in 2018 at Oxnard Shores. Didn't get a chance to speak to him though has he suddenly disappeared since I was down the beach a bit. He has a couple boards in Ventura surf shop last time I was up there in December. They've been sitting there since 2019 the last time we had a gathering. Pretty heavy boards I would guess 20lb.

Re: THE PHAETON F-44 BARRELHAWK
I've kind of wondered about those groin bumps. The shaper has been selling these paipo-style Greenough spoon boards for awhile, hence the weight from all the glass & resin. I think the bumps are for hand holds during wave catching. They the rider scoots up and holds onto the nose rail handles. Agree, that seems like a ton of fin!

"Channel Islands-Inspired twinnies." so which CI has a massive center fin on their twin! the 3 fin twin! lol
i'm always so intrigued to see these surfed wondering if they have made something super complicated that they just got straight down the line on.

Re: THE PHAETON F-44 BARRELHAWK
Those groin bumps must be a lot softer than they appear and maybe a lot shorter than they appear. I would not want to wipe-out tangled with all that fin but to each our own. The gentleman has found something that works well for him, apparently sells a few and is staying wet in his later-in-life days. The production rate probably has to do more with the layup of all that glass--spoons are a manpower intensive project.
