Pyzel is a fan of matching the stringer rocker as closely to the rail rocker as he can manage, he has a lot of faith in his boards' natural lines after many years of Pipe, Sunset etc. You get that with a lot of the good Hawaii shapers, Arakawa, Bushman, Rawson etc, rocker beats bottom shape.

Yeah, so what pen range are we packing?
Fountain?
Artline?
Ballpoint of course.

Long smooth, low, unbroken rocker curve extending back from front foot
V subtle but distinctive. I see it as being similar to the rocker curve on my 9 ft Brewer

It's seems subtle bottom contours are a feature of a good modern surfboard.

Just make sure no one has looked up and been inspired by the (v NSFW) /r/buttsharpie reddit forum before the trip.

I'm fixing up a pretty nice 7'6" pintail thing, I've had it for years and years and only really now after about 10 years surfing down here I've come to the point where I might, might think about using it every now and then.

Anyway, I've put whatever FCS fins in (and yeah Braithy I agree the Futures system is brilliant!) from some stock stick I can find and they look piteously small. What's the word on fin size with a bigger board like this? Big waves equals big balls and fins?

Here's a new Reef Waterproof Leather Sandals ad with Shane Dorian.
I haven't seen a better ad for a pair of thongs.

I've had it with leggies, broke another FCS yesterday, after having tried Creatures and O&E with the same result, breaking at the molded ankle strap end. I'm going to give a couple of these a try https://staycovered.com/collections/sur ... surf-leash they have a guy selling them in Aus. Anyone used these?
Creature and O&E gave me replacement leggies after theirs failed in the first week, FCS not so warranty worth nothing.
