Looking at the background I'd go finless.

Id rather surf the finless board over that other heaper

[Beerfan]

So hows does it go??? That's what we wanna know

[pridmore]

put it this way, never smiled sooo much in the waves....the fun factor is rediculous for me when riding these boards. The AquaBat ( currently ) has 2 tiny little fins which allows just enough hold for making sections and some very basic turns and floaters, but small enough to do spins anytime I want almost.....the foamy finless ( made from a block of housing insulation foam ) makes alaias seem like driftwood or possibly firewood ( for me anyways...)...

Longy, whats a heaper to you, is a keeper for me, its all about FUNction for me.....
each to their own but hard to really know until you've ridden a board imho, been plenty of times I have hopped on a sled and had no great expectations but then realize it goes much better than expected ( and visa versa too )...this one goes great for me, without fins mostly lately ( or 2 tiny ones at least...)

The white one reminds me of the coolites we rode before we were allowed to get surfboards.
They didn't have swallow tails or indent channels, having instead raised ridges as keel type fins they were rounder at the nose than these, and more elliptical in shape but they were exactly like your white one and lots of fun

BTW I just bought a genuine Greenough type surf mat! Mega fun coming up

Next traveler MP?

[pridmore]

the mind boggles with options....haha, narrowed it down to about 3 or 4....but waiting til the green QF gets back here first....

[Cpt.Caveman]

sweet, any hints as to which boards?

I get the feeling that it'll be a mind opening traveler...

"a three letter word for a flightless bird."

great deck design.

[pridmore]

I plan on filling it in with some answers one day soon.....
just shaped another variation of the finless ( quasi ) , very different but should be fun ......

[pridmore]

some fun testing ahead for meee......

[pridmore]

few pics a local guy took...
original board, mid backhand 360 slide...backhand is so hard ....
kinda caught in an ugly poo-man position but you can see the board mid spin, interesting to me to see how the boards sitting and whats going on....
swapping the tiny fins around on both boards soon and will surf them both in same sesh to see what goes best coz at this stage I really like them both....also have some new littler fins coming, tiny little almost 'D' fins shape.....

[WANDERER]

I've been running through designs in my head that would lock in rather than release, a finless board that can hold in the barrell via suction and hold in the face rather than via the use of an edge, if I get round to it I'll do a few scetches and some deeper thought and come back to this thread.

Belly and round rails?? Keen to see what you're thinking of Wands
