Single Fins

Post by **godsavetheking** » Thu Jun 12, 2014 1:47 am

This is my cheap(ish) vintage(ish) 6'8 single fin.

Made for 'Andrew' in 1995. Haven't ridden it enough to figure it out really. If it owed me any more than £150 I'd sell it, but it doesn't so I won't

Godsave, you'll find it easier to ride if you wax it.

Like most McCoys the wide point, most of the rocker and the fins are at the wrong end.

Is that a semi-gun?
Hang on to it, I reckon they are the best boards he's made.

yeah I reckon. mini-gun rather than semi though I suppose, to be pedantic.

admit, you like it.

also, i was born in the early 70's. surrounded with all the sights, colours, sounds and aesthetics of the 70's.

so doubt i qualify as a hipster. surely that's more reserved for those who 'weren't there'.

amber curtains were huge in the seventies. as was amber shag pile carpet, amber stained glass, amber tiles, amber fking everything.!

actually considering some stylised poppies for the bottom of the board

Tell us Kanye didn't figure in you discovering this classic.
Btw. Jodorowsky's Dune is wonderful.

Thanks. Will check JD out.

Holy Mountain is pretty wild. I can appreciate it more than I can stomach it. a twisted sensory overload that's a little suffocating. like an unpleasant dream post-drug binge

Hi-perf single fins. Polfer hull design. Looks pretty functional.

saw that a while ago....it looks like bad thruster surfing.

why not ride a multi-fin if you want to surf that way?
