Re: Josh Dowling Designs

Nice JD .... is that all D-Cell rails? Looks like a piece of red-wood stringer in the tail?

Re: FCS Quads - What are you using ?

Mate, I would recommend a smaller rear fin than the K2.1 quad set if you want it to turn better. As far as I know, that quad set has M3 rear fins which will still be a similar stiffness as your previous M5/M3 combo. If you want it to turn better I would not only decrease the rake of the front fins,...

Re: FCS Quads - What are you using ?

To give you an idea of what fin combos I like in a board, I'm an inch shorter than you but the same weight. I have a board very similar in dimensions only with a blended planshape in the tail and a round-tail. In this board I found M5/M3 sized fins way too big and too stiff. They produced a ton of ...

Re: FCS Quads - What are you using ?

Yeah a bit scarce on the board information sorry. It's a Josh Dowling quad: 6'1 x 19 1/2 x 2 5/8 diamond tail, small bump in the rail near the front fins to bring the tail in a little, flatish tail rocker. I think a more raked fin would suit my style of surfing and would also suit this board. It is ...

Re: FCS Quads - What are you using ?

Right I need some help choosing a new set of quad fins. Me 6'0 x 84kgs I have been using: --> PC5 front with M3 center back; --> M5 Front with M3 sides back; --> I've tried H2 medium quad set - felt too small. Am I under finning myself? :? I'm thinking of one of these sets for surfing in 2 to 4ft be...

Re: Josh Dowling Designs

Hey DV8. I didn't want a full wood deck as I like flex in boards but still wanted some stiffness when I step up to 6ft + so the mix wood d-cell is the best of both worlds. I also want to ride it as a pure single in clean head high + surf. All credit to Josh, I have the whacky idea and he takes what...

Re: Josh Dowling Designs

Hey DV8. I wanted a widow maker originally but then also wanted a single fin and I wanted to be able to surf it from 4ft to 8ft. So Josh and I got talking and with his guidance we went for a bottom contour of single to double to spiral vee, flatish tail rocker, rounded pin, semi gunish rails, Josh c...
