G-10
My new G-10 flex fin, I was told the stuff doesn't work too well for hull fins because of sharpness issues, so i dulled the edges a little and by all accounts over the last few days of unreal waves, it goes really. REALLY. well. Very springy off the bottom and forgiving off a long cutback...happy happy happy!
I have some more fin panel kicking around and can source more for other fins...if you're interested i'd probably make ya one if you want to give it a go!

Two Macking Swells, in Review:
Late December swell:
Early January swell:
R.I.P. Asymetrichull and Pinky, easily two of the best board i've had in the past two years, you did not die in vein...you took some he-man sized waves on the head and were blasted into oblivion at the same spot, in all of your balls-out trimming and overdrive producing bottom turning glory.
It is more than fair to say they were tested beyond their intended wave-size, which is half the fun of experimenting with shapes, pushing them to the limit and finding the point at which stringerless EPS and ultra bladey railed, 1/16" bass stringers don't live through.
This isn't about building myself the perfect board every time, it's about trying new things, finding new lines, new techniques, and new boundaries...and re-building my quiver before me and the boys waltz into waves like that again...........
