Wild set of fins on that twinny Wanto, interesting shape and they look like laminated ply. Be loose asa goose in the smaller stuff, so it might have a longer shelf life than 4 months! I was gunna put it on the other topic but I'm here now, have you thought about thicker stringers, and chasing down someone who'll do an epoxy glass job (say6oz) to still keep your boards light but stronger?

I aint no Sherlock but I got odds on that surfbabe from westoz is one of the usual wankers tossin' off under a new monicker, and this is way more attention the f.wit deserves

My fish is 6' 6" x 20 1/2 x 2 3/4. I'm 6' 3" and 117kg so I agree with Wanto about going a bit shorter 6'2" or 6'3" but at a minimum 2 3/4 thick. Remember this is a board that's going to be mainly used in 1' to 4' summer wind swells so the extra thickness is what ya need.

I've got a fish or sorts. Two actually. One is a moderrn fish...basically a wider swallow tailed shortboard, and the other with a fuller nose, but neither a full on Steve Lis fish.

The wider nose one is 6'6" x 20.25" x 2.5", and the more standard shape is "6'8" x 19.5" x 2.5". I'm between 82kg and 85 kg most of the time.
