A lot of the shapers single fins are on sale at the moment if anyone's interested.

I got a true Ames greenough but the americano fins are a little loose in our boxes so will need to tape it up.

Put the 8 1/2" in and the side bites. Looks perfect so I'll try it like that next. Dead flat by the looks. One bloke out at the farm. Even at knee to waist there's usually 10 lol

Had a session up at greenhills this arvo on the midlength. Any smaller and it would've been flat.
Still had a ball. Love them. So much fun. Even after the recent Indo trip.

Picked up a 7ft thinned out Mad Wasp with DVS cut away quads. Ridden it twice, it's like riding a board 8 inches shorter. Tilt your back foot side to side and it turns like a serpent. Awesome.
