You're not retiring Lacey! But if you do, we'll hope to catch you again late in year, or first up in the New Year, when you come out of retirement!

Fins - my Brewer 9'6 Nose Rider felt really stiff/tight today in the small beachies. That long based centre fin is definitely a Point Break Specialist Fin.

are you having a go on it? it's narrow but stable. i'm getting one a bit different. flatter, displacement , more volume up the front narrower tail, but 1/2 "wider over all. looks like a real flier on the rack.

i would think at your size a bit wider would be the go. but it will interesting to see what you think

Nah mate he was in the alley way at the market just across from out little store,so just killing time.He said he was turning it into a showroom with some other design mates,while I was there a guy was doing some really cool pen work on a shortie.That board as you said 27 way to small for me

This market is a cool gig on second Friday from 5 to 10,bands bar and heaps of funcky people.

I do not talk high brow or have a superfluous vocabulary.... Haha.

Bags not be the fin guru. It's yours mate, you own it. I worked for a fin company for 4 years and have not tried as many fins as you.

P.s chrispy have been very busy helping a friend and been o/s on a work trip. Kind of over the bull---- on the SUP forum as well. Prefer the SB and Lb room right now.

Welcome - it gets us all at some stage.


On another note maybe Chrispy has just made a brave stand for the fin position - he has been putting his body on the line to study them more closely.
