Im almost finished my latest, a 6'5'' diamond tail single fin. 14'' nose x 20.5 ( halfway ) x 15'' tail x 3''. After a stuff up with the hotcoat ( i forgot the surfacing agent D'OH!! ), it took a while to get the bottom flat. Not the greatest sanding job, but it'll do. Here's a pic. You can see its been raining here by the water running down the bottom.

Im not sure yet ric. I do have a set of fin solutions, but im just hanging to surf it. I started this almost a year ago. If i find it needs more bite etc, i'll put some side boxes in. Hope to surf it next weekend. Will update.

I would add the side fins too, I think with the side bites and a small centre fin it would go better than just the single, but you would have the option then at least ??? should have sprayed it like the brick wall in the background..... A whole year ???? you are a fan of beer.... good on you for doing it yourself mate...hope it goes well for ya

single fin
Took it out the other day. First beach was south facing, and the sets were 4-5 hollow, and sandy, well, the ones that didn't close out. So, i left them to my mates, and went around the corner. Chest high, gutless wind chop. Paddled alright, catching waves was ok. Didn't get a lot of speed out of it, but hey, it was pretty gutless. Once on my feet i couldn't seem to get it going. Im used to getting on my front foot ( i ride a twin keel mostly ), but that didn't really help me. Getting on the back foot, the 15'' tail bogged down. So no real ride reports yet. I had to put a patch over the leash plug, as it looked a bit cracked around the edges. Just need to sand it a bit, and try again. Although i dont know if i'll get out this weekend, sounds like some bigguns a comin.
And yeah, there will be side plugs added soon.
