Testing out my own fin

Ok, finally I got to it. Testing out my own fin, it was really fun and rewarding.


 In the design, I mixed between D Fin and modern hatchet fin with a 25 degree angle at the tail. This gives the feel of old school and modern nose riding.

And it holds really well in a tight pocket.

I picked my mate Pete's board. And it really delivered. Yeeewww.

A tiny issue that I would fix for my next similar fin, is a bit of drags. Which seems to make this board goes slower than usual. Even paddling it, that I could feel.

So, the next fin, the back side will be right up at 90 degree angle, and the front will be 30 degree tilts towards to the tail. And it will be a tad thinner too.



Other than that, I had a BALL!!!!
