Thanks Larry..  Great interview and everyone should listen to this.. It's great to hear someone talking my language with fins.. I've been a serious fin guy for the same time you have and been though the same fin journey on opposite sides of the world..

I've been wanting to chop my Ninja fin from the day I got it and was worried about butchering your piece of art.. It's good to heard that you're cool with doing that and understand my reason for wanting to do it..

There's so much more to fins than what most people think there is and I appreciate your skills.. your knowledge.. and your willingness to share it..

Hey DJ,
That is what the butchering looks like :-)

Finally got to listen to the show. Nice interview. Like the piece on the GT Morey and Aercor and the flex.

Cheers DJ.
I am slowly sanding the tip part to reduce the thickness of the foil and have some flex/release. The funny part is that while it looks rough on the picture, it is actually really smooth after the fine grain sandpaper. Just does not look as nice.

Larry, this interview is a great source of information! I enjoyed every minute of it and appreciate the recap of fin evolvement
and present state of development.

This should be on your website so people can go back to it and refresh every now and again, I know I would
like that. Mahalo!
