Searching for waves is a journey, not a destination. My Blog is all about sharing with you, my passion of the ocean and surfing, nothing else in between. Once you have sands stuck between your toes, you are hooked for life. So come and join me in my journey. SwellSeeker

Longboard fins in the Making - Part 1
As a surfer, have you ever wondered what type of fin that suits your style and perform its best for you?
And as you continue to try out, over a period of times, you would ponder how may fins you have been collecting for years. And when you do a tally, you would nod that you have been spending an investments on FINs.
Well. I am not going to stop trying out different fins to suit my mood or surf condition. But I will stop spending on them, by making my own fins from now on.
I have started designing my own fin templates, by cutting out on papers for the design and combining the styles from multiple existing fins that I have, plus type of boards in my quiver.
I am now going through a process of cutting them out from plywood, then sand them out as proper templates. They are better patterns than normal papers.
Cant wait for this long weekend to make a mess from my garage, after resin and sanding.
Keep an eye on this space, Folks! More to come...
