Great comparison and video!

But what about the twin setup? ... seems like that would be worth a look too. Not talking about just using 2 of your thruster or quad fins, but an appropriately sized set of twin fins. Especially in the softer waves we get in FL, would be interesting to see how the speed, top-bottom maneuverability, and fin blow out characteristics compare. Expect the wider boards would again benefit the most.

Sweet looking wave! ... that water clarity blows me away every time!

Question for you ... I ran into a guy from the USA Surfing org a couple weeks ago here in FL and talking to him it sounded like the Olympic surfing was for sure happening this year. Wanted to ask you what the Japanese peoples view is on the whole Olympic thing, and of course the likelihood of an Olympic surfing event actually happening?

General Discussion / Board Repair Referrals in FL ?

« on: February 05, 2021, 09:35:30 AM »

Do any of the FL zoners have a recommendation for quality board repairs in the central FL area (i.e. someone who can do it all ... dings, delam, color match, etc) ?

Welcome to FL, lol ... yep, like most everywhere, you gotta respect the locals! But those fellers look a tad bigger than what I normally see and I woulda cut the sesh short too, especially if i'm the only one out.
Hopefully you'll get another chance with the Casey Flow, and can give us a report. Those step rails look nice.

Thanks for taking us along! ... I'm always blown away by how clear the water is in your videos, the reef is perfectly visible at the 2:55 mark! That would take some getting use to!
