The official history of surfing's missed a fair bit by the sound of it :?
i think we can all agree on that
pretty boys write history
and make a $ out it
in any case...now and the future is more exciting
huie with the mini...you said your going the twin keel....i'm kinda still impressed with the "missing links"far forward fin placement...it was a mind opener...cause it felt so good
can u see that working in a twin
can u push the fins forward a touch or three
and roy quote "displacement up front planing in the back. Im doing it the other way around lol, well sort of"
thats really interesting, is that because the length your boards or some other design factor
good see u both sharing....us punters do appreciate it
when shapers fight i just run to my morey boogie board

your new shape looks great....but i can't help but think
the longer the hull...faster it goes
reducing the area ...can that reduce the speed
gawd....i hate it when some stuff roy writes makes sense
its a bloody mini simmons with some slight twists
it will come frome behind ya and smoke ya
still a bloody hull though
How's the progress on this board? Almost a week now and interested to see the finished board.
Curious to know the dimensions?

I reckon you might regret posting the pic of your kids board Di99er, and all the mess in the background ( and foreground and surrounds )...then pick on Huie for needing to sweep up...

him and not a lot more would get by without a serve
mark while ya here you cant realy see but i have fitted a cple of these with 4 w s underglass
it would suit you for you can adjust cant & toe in or run em stringer concentric just the ticket for these simmons clones or whatever you call them to me there just big fat kneeboard from the past
but i am liking the nice shaping change /b]

Anyone still riding these type of single fins? I love this outline
http://vouchsurf.com/VOUCH_SURF_-_PRODUCT_EVO_2.html
Are they still primarily point break boards or have they been tweaked a bit to handle beachies?

A mate of mine rides a backyard shaped displacement hull around 7'. Its the full long straight outline, super flat rocker, blade like rails, domed bottom the whole way up, huge flexy Greenough style single fin, pulls in quite a bit at the tail. He loves the thing.
I've watched him surf it quite a bit in small beachbreaks. It seems like it prefers minimalist surfing with good trim lines and flow. No pumping and bullying around at all. Just all low centre of gravity, good positioning on the board for the waves mood at the time, and lots of shoulders for cutbacks.
He really enjoys it but I couldn't pin him down about how he likes it compared to other types of single fins or mid-lengths.
