Jarvis,
The fins you are selling, and the ones you've tested... are they foiled just on one side and flat on the other?
Was wondering what your thoughts on 2-side foiled fins are. I recently put one on my quad fin surf board and I could feel the difference in better hold and speed coming off the lip on that one side.

Thanks Newps, very cool to know this knot.
I too have been using a Stay Covered leash and find it so much better and stronger than the DaKines I have been buying for the last few years. My Dakine's were lasting less than a year, which is about 120 or so days surfing. My last one broke on the second day I used it (fin cut it looked like).
I have also broken Creatures of Leisure and FCS leashes at the cuff where the plastic piece that attaches the leash to the cuff has failed.
I got tired of swimming for my life and came across the Stay Covered. Very happy now.

Thanks Bean, I appreciate the thought and understand. I'm not done with the Zone, its great place with great people, just done with Beasho.

So Beasho, how do you know the .2 lbs you lost didn't just come from the deckpad drying out? You need to analyze data and not just take it. Big difference.
Let me guess you are not an engineer and feel threatened by data.
The board had not been used for more than 2 months - dry as a bone.
Any more data insights that would be helpful we'll be happy to sit by your knee and listen.
So just to straighten things out Beasho, I am a Nuclear Test Engineer, qualified to supervise the operation of Nuclear Reactors for the US Navy, and have a BSCE in Ocean Engineering and Masters degree work in Acoustics and Vibration...so yeah, I'm kind of an engineer. The issue I have with you is with taking a small amount of mostly irrelevant data, and using it in a very unscientific manner to make broad claims. People believe the shit you peddle, and Im trying to show them that data needs to be analyzed properly. I'm done trying to help you not look stupid. Continue to tell people that its OK to repeatedly "cook" your board, I just feel bad for the folks that follow what you do and will then need to replace their boards after they delam , you idiot. So you may be an engineer, but your not a very bright one. Just a big blowhard that likes too blow his own horn and try to act like he know's everything. Rant over, that's the last you'll hear from me on this forum.

The madness continues: I am drying another board my 9' 2" PSH Hull Ripper.
It started at 23.4 lbs without fins. I got it down to 23.2 lbs overnight with vacuum pump and heater.
So Beasho, how do you know the .2 lbs you lost didn't just come from the deckpad drying out? You need to analyze data and not just take it. Big difference.
