Boatyard Magic
I needed to install a finbox in Jonny's new spoon for travel and fin playing purposes, so we got creative. about 5 minutes worth of scrounging around the boat yard I came across a pile of scrap Core Cell, a high density foam used in boats and sailboards usually...after about 20 minutes of shaping it against the doorway with a surform, I set in angled blocks against the finbox (which was not installed yet, just propped in there); and let it cure:
The next morning I came back, unstrapped the foam which was now resined in place, shaped it all tidy and flowing up onto the box; then covered the finbox in tape, set it back in there and glassed a shell over the top of it, which once cured provided my finbox with support and a cavity to be sunk into...tadaaaaa:
The finbox will act like a small spine for the tail of the board to twist around, not affecting the flex of the board much more than a glassed in fin would.

Revenge is a 6'5 Pintail Hull
6'5" x 21" x 2 7/8" for hollow waves...After the past few nights of super negative tide, I can happily say she goes wonderfully in the tube; silky smooth!
Still sussing out the fin setup, so far it's gone best as a single with the fin pictured moved back about 1" from that spot. Feeling like a wide-based, more raked fin with a long flexy tip will be the call in the end but there's more experimenting to be done.
