Strange thing about all my longboard fins since the sixties the nut and bolt has always been at the front.
Except for the other nut on the deck.

all my fin box fins (single fins and quads) from the 70s/early 80s have had the nut and bolt at the rear. is this some longboard/shortboard (aka kneeboard) division?

No just seem to be the other way now. Nuts
The older kneeboards I have 70sish rear nut! trying to recall my very first fin system 1969????????????? took it to Hawaii. Kraft moment

Thanks for the ride reports Steve and Jaffa.

Steve I have an 8" fin with the NACA 16-012 foil here which is a beauty. Spitfire fins have less tip area than regular fins so going a tad deeper is a good idea.

The range of fins (so far) is listed here: http://roystuart.myshopify.com/

Coming up next are:

1) Gullwings based on McCoy's design, with and without the bumpy leading edge, these will have an Eppler168 foil.

2) Lokbox bases for all the side fins ( we already have Futures bases). and BLEF thruster sets, here's one of the side fin options, available in 4 and 8 degree cant:






3) Spitfire fins on a longer base and no cutaway, with the forward planshape of the original spitfire wing. These will be in sizes up to 10" to accomodate logs.

4) Tunnel fins.

Can I borrow twenty bucks Roy?

[Roy_Stewart]

Yeah ok

[alakaboo]

So what's the real story, Roy?
Pharma bloke put up the capital for the 3d printing caper and you needed some ad space?

[spork]

Don't recon those wax scrapers will work too good, all my boards have convex decks.

'Tracks' just asked for an article but all they want to talk about is money, so I told them to ask something interesting.

[Roy_Stewart]

Yeah, funny how the price just went up though. I haven't heard 1.8 before.

[offshore1]

I'll give you 1.9.

I doubt it.....(lol)....no sale , just your annual marketing hoax...

[Roy_Stewart]

It's all legit and the article request was from Kirk Owers... but keep your blinkers on to stay in the comfort zone Kayu.

Regarding fins: we can now print up to 10" fins and have an fcs tabbed option.

Also Gull wing fins based on McCoy's, with either BLEF or smooth leading edges. The foil will be a vast improvement too, McCoy's is slab like.

[packa]

So what's the real story, Roy? ...

Yeah, c'mon Roy, spill the beans ... did you sell a board for some serious coin, or what?

Or, is Kayu on the money and this was a great marketing hoax to drive some interest to you and maybe sell some fins?

[kayu]

I wasn't enquiring about yer fins Roy........I was just saying that you selling a board for the reported sum of $$$$ dollars is just your annual marketing hoax.....then again , as a winner of "Shaper of the Year" ", and you being a celebrity and all........ .

[Roy_Stewart]

There had been no hoax.

The shaper of the year thing was totally truthful, I didn't say that I was surfermag shaper of the year or anything like that, I said that I was olosurfer ( that was us ) shaper of the year, just a joke that I'd voted for myself.

I don't know of any other candidates for having pulled a hoax either.

The info on fins wasn't meant for you. obviously there are other people looking at this thread.

[kayu]

There had been no hoax.

The shaper of the year thing was totally truthful, .

(lol)....yeah , about as truthfull as you selling a board for $1mill +..........if you were halfway fair dinkum Stewart , I'd be the first to congratulate.....but your too dodgy . There's artists .......and then there's bullshit-artists....

[Roy_Stewart]

Really?

Ok point out what's not truthful about me voting myself 'Olosurfer shaper of the year'.

Thanks in advance.

[Roy_Stewart]

Yep.

Sorry Yep=Yes

My cousin Mike just sent over this photo of me from 1984 on a Raglan trip.
