conventional shape and construction ? I am shocked

Surely not!

Looking forward to seeing the rest of this board build. Will it be highly tuned for the big days at Outside Indicators for the speed runs across the top of the Valley and maybe, just maybe into Whale Bay?

We have Camel in mind, but we'll see how she turns out, and will be going longer.

There are 5 different gun shapes which are lined up too, variations on the pintail theme.

Some conventional design and construction elements, some not so. Raglan's one of the test zones.

I got my fin the other day, cheers Roy.

Put it in to give it a run this morning but was stopped by the dreaded onshore

Don't take this the wrong way but I was a bit Surprised by how well made they are, much better Finish then I had thought. As good as as good as any other fin I've seen. no flat spots either

I had one just like that when I was about 18.

Shaped by Peter Clarke in Sydney, mine was 9'6" and had a beautiful green hand shaped single fin.

Nice looking board.

Can't be SB that has to be the nose on the ground. Look where the wide point is, it is about third point up from the ground so that must be the nose.

My Clarke had a tail and nose very similar to that board. That is of course if I am looking at it correctly.
