Cleanse. It's a more powerful antibiotic and anesthesia than ti tree oil without the stinging.
Dilute it, otherwise it can be dangerous.

Re: Where did you surf today ?

I didn't surf yesterday, it just looked sharky and shaky and cold. Nobody else out, an hour from a hospital, no mobile reception.

Re: Twin fins as go-to boards

And the foam goes on the inside of the fiberglass, right?

Re: Twin fins as go-to boards

I'm not saying that volume is the only thing driving design, that's insane. As is saying it's only a result of design decisions. But volume is achieved by design decisions ... thickness, width, length, foil, concave and other varying factors all contribute to how much foam is left after shaping. Vo...

Re: Twin fins as go-to boards

What's your point? They've either chosen the flat deck because they like it and want to keep the volume down or the rolled deck because they like it and want to increase the midline volume while still having refined rails. I'm not saying that volume is the only thing driving design, that's insane. A...

Re: Twin fins as go-to boards

That's inane.

A rolled vs a flat deck, for example, is a direct result of a decision about volume. As is a beak nose.

Re: General snow stuff

I hope you mean the 9th? No chance you'll make it this weekend. The forecast for the higher points is 160km/h winds and up to 12ft of snow. It goes without saying but because you'll be frothing, the avalanche danger will be insane and it's not a good time to experiment off piste if you are a beginne...

Looks sick but it's not a twin
If thats not a twin fin, then neither are the the MR Super Twins ... the rear fin is an optional stabiliser.
I agree it's not a twin, my post a little while back was bait that noone bit.

Both look like fun options.

Re: Where did you surf today ?

It's more that if you're there you have to be surfing, they know you are gone for a while.
And they can escape over the hill or by car and be in a different state pretty quickly which make it hard to police.

Re: Where did you surf today ?

That bank on the northern end can be a board breaker, sucking below the sand on low tide and an east swell.
Also one of the best places to get your car broken into.
