Fark that's a nice fin though Mac!
It has little tiny shatters on the trailing edge now... Too much fun laying it into the bottom turns!

Yes, I thought things were a bit dull of late.

I started a new board transport project today and I was going to take a bunch of pics and write it up for your viewing pleasure, unfortunately, I had to shelve the idea as a favour for a friend.

I bumped into him today and explained my idea to him and he said he'd been trying to think of how to do that for a while and my idea had never occurred to him even though it was he simplest idea possible. He'd like to see it before I told anyone else.

Maybe next weekend if I can get it finished, It will see the end of my ladder type racks if it works.

crap w/e here.....although we have had a rain event which was pretty exciting as we have not had any rain for months....rain tank still needs a bit more before it will be fill Had a small crappy surf Sat morning and that was it. Today we have had the devil wind - the SE howling in. Watched a few kites out the front on the lake getting into it. I spent most of the day working and then sneaked a few hours in the garage doing some sanding. Running out of time to get all my projects done before I head off. SB has been slow of late......lets fire it up !

Looking forward to seeing your new roof contraption ob !!!

Nose riding fin - just try a hatchet fin, with a blunt (as in square) leading edge!
Rounded Square leading edge!? That's something that hasn't been experimented enough with!
