Foam boards:

Fck Roy how are you champ? We have been worried sick about you. You just vanished for a while. I will call the search party back in.

Serious question: is the picture of a fin or a board?
The title says 'foam boards' yet the info in the link is about fins. Looks like a board to me. Like Roy's take on the Thommo thing?.

Hi Natho,

The link is to the new fin, the picture is of a board which will be available soon... it doesn't look at all like a Tomo the plan shape can be seen on the bottom right.

Can we get Roy into the Tard of the year comp?

It's late I know but he's a worthy contestant if ever there was one

If these were the Atardemy Awards Roy would receive the "Lifetime Achievement" prize.

That depends upon the size and construction option but prices will be in the normal range.

Finally something fu.cken interesting in surfing to talk about on here

Do u have a set ratio to board length = fin size
Or is every board different and u go with the vibe
Are u still into turbo fins
Which end is nose

cheers Fongs

Not really a set ratio although they have tended to an inch in height per foot of board length, with a lower limit for a single of about 8 inches and an upper of about 12. I don't know why the inch per foot thing seems to work I can't find a really good reason for it but work it does. There's a lot of variation we do which doesn't fit the rule though, mind you that's usually with multi fin setups so is normal.

Yeah still doing tunnel fins and will have a polycarbonate tunnel range with fcs tabs soon.

The nose is at the other end from the arzehole. Hope that helps

Thanks squared, a bit of a mellow slide but covered the distance.

So you have decided to go the tuflite route and make your shapes available to anyone with a 3D Printer big enough to copy your shapes?

Groovy tracks on that vid Roy!

Where else does your taste in music take you?

Last quote on here was something like 629,000,000 dollars, australian or new zealand presumably.

Not at all, I've been riding identical wooden fins and they are powerful, unlike the usual gutless wonder greenough thin fins that most use.

I was talking about the way you used "3D printed" as a selling point like a Hollywood blockbuster. I cannot comment on the design.

You are a cynical, sour individual who has no opinion on the design but finds some imagined nuance to offend yourself with so that you can say something snide.

Probably you have a massive beer gut... anyway the 3D PRINTING is exciting.
