Re: What we've been up to:

Hi Roy, all the latest progression looks functional and aesthetic, as always.

Not to speak for the man himself but from my observations-based on his windsurfing fin set-ups- it seems Greenough would agree with you in respect of the torsional plane that the fin should be flexing in.

neither Yasi or Tracey delivered a single surfable wave for the east Coast so I hope you're wrong.
