Re: Boards that "die"

In my long term travel boards (6.6 and 7.0 Jim Banks) I had ceramic speeed fins- medium size despite me being a little bit of a bigger unit. Lasted for years with a slighly heavier glass job.

Anyone know what happened to speedfins they were pretty good IMO.

Re: Boards that "die"

Speaking of boards that die, parkos effort is not too shabby at all.

Is there such a thing as a two ounce glass job?

Re: Boards that "die"

Some timely stuff for me as I am looking to resurrect a magic old Dain Thomas quad fish that is in very good shape, except for the deck caving in and taking water around the foot areas, esp. around the thick stringer as Speedneedle mentioned. In the back foot area the stringer was soaked, but the bo...

Sholud throw in my ortho (who is regarded as one of THE shoulder guys) reccommends breaststroke swimming 20 mins three times a week (minimum) as one of the best rotator cuff solutions.

Re: the most annoying surfer

In the right waves a 'proper' old school twin keel fish is fun as, that said mine has a thick layer of dust on it. Can't remember last time I surfed it.

Rocker it up, pull in the tail width with double flyers and make it a quad fin, now you're talking.....

Re: Road trip: Sunshine coast - South coat NSW.

All this talk of the south coast has me reminiscing over Don's Cabins.....

Those days we didn't drink that much, just a stubbie or two to wash down a cone or three, :lol: and a carton was good for a few days..... Until we said to Donnie, help yourself to a beer....


RIP Don.

Re: Help: DHD Double Shot + DHD Sweet Spot ??

Why not do the ebay thing?

Try as many cheap second handers as u can. Sell 'em if u don't like 'em.

Then buy a new one of whatever works for you.

Guarantee you'll find some good boards that some bloke has been convinced to buy in some wanky shop/ mag ad/'what slater rides etc.
