My first wooden fin(s) - Yeeeewwww






This is my very first wooden fin that I ever made.

It is fun to do. The sanding process is quite messy, but the grains appearance turned out to be pretty good.



It is not 100% completed yet.

Now I have to glass, then sand it.

 Cant wait for the weekend to come to complete and give it a go.



This is another wooden fin in the making.

It is a hatchet fin with an attitude.

I deliberately pulling the tip of the tail a bit longer (approx 50%) than the base. So when it sits in the fin box, the tail tip would be very close to the board tail, if not exceeding it.

The reason for this is to make the turn/draw a bit more radically easier, especially on a pig or traditional log.

Hang Ten, Dudes!
