Ok I'm selling fins this week, so it's the fin... definitely the fin.

Seriously though the fin is part of it.

I'm sure its a combination of fin, the board and the rider, you look more committed to manouvers, totally in control, that board looks to have a bit of extra nose rocker ?
Or is it just the camera angle ?

She's 10'6" and has 4 inches of rocker nose and tail, a circular arc curve so no nose flip at all, with 1/8th of an inch of single concave. width is 27' volume about 110 litres, weight about 24 pounds. Rail is continuous with an 18mm radius below the apex. Thickness is 2.75". Fin is the 11" BLEF spitfire shown above. A rewarding board which paddles very fast and catches just about anything. Thanks for the positive feedback.

There's a nice bank there at the Blowhole, we are just waiting for a bit more size.

Hey Roy

That is one of the more enjoyable clips I have seen of you surfing, thanks for sharing

How comfortable are you riding switch foot - sometimes I get confused if you are goofy or natural?

Not very comfortable switchfoot, so I don't make the effort to do it.

Why didn't you just drop the anchor and wait for the tide to fill in Roy.
