Hi Tardy,

Im no expert by any means however it looks like the fin placement is a further forward than normal??? Is this correct, looking at CSE's version the fins seem set further back???

I think its just because CSE board is 1 foot longer that makes it look that way ,but you might be right .looking at the hip the 9.9 fins looks a little further back ,might be because it is designed to be a big wave board ,because these boards are pin tails it may seem as though mine is more forward ? good observation

I saw CSE out on his today ...no not really him ,but he is planning to ride some big waves ,he's a hell man .

Yep, that will be me for sure

I have no idea about the fin placement though. I did not make any specific requests - I leave those details to them.

Wow! That's a beautiful looking functional board.. and the colours are stunning.
Of all the customs you've had made, I think this is my favourite.
Looking forward to vid from the water when you've had a break from grinning ??
