Re: DIY

That is weird! Is the tunnel just a straight tunnel or does it get narrower where the water exits?

Looks like it could be for stability in vertical turns???

Are they FCS? That way I can fit one on my toothpick!

Re: DIY

Will it not make the board less stable when you turn hard? as the pressure goes from in the tunnel to the side?

I've got the Laird DVD with him on a foil...looks reall hard to balance....how long before one of the nutters gets slotted at jaws on one...i'll give in another year.

Re: DIY

im having a go at a 5,6 fish... i have the plan shape cut and am in the process of reshaping the nose rocker (its the mid section of a snapped longboard) which is hard. im debating wether to make it a twin or just bang a box in itand have it a single fin. ive long been contemplating how to get the rails right, they are about 2 inches thick at the mo. in fact the whole thing is way too thick....
