    He is Brew. That is all. But I do think the fin try out thing is a great idea. Despite my opinions on your prices of baords, loving of sheep and many other of your ways I could see the fins working and would try it out if there was a NC stop over for it.

    I have no problem sharing my name through PM, but don't make me the start of the fin tour. I think FL is a better starting point.

    Dear Roy,

    I am an old surfer who rides shortboards, single fin classic longboards, and I am just finishing a high performance 9'2" 2+1 HPLB. I am curious about your new fins (I usually go with a 8" Ames Squirrel cutaway for snap and looseness). If you would be so kind as to send me one to try out, if I like it I will review it, order it, pass it along to another responsible member of the SI Forum community, and will rep it for you for a piece of the juice, if ya know what I'm sayin'. If I don't like it I will review it and pass it along as well. Fair enough?

    Peace and waves,

    sisurfdogg

    Does this conversation remind anyone of a bunch of middle schoolers talking some girl into showing her boobs?

    What if someone got the fin for testing, did something really f*cked up with it, made a video, and then released the video after the fin had made its rounds?

    Just saying. I wholeheartedly support this program. LET THE TESTING BEGIN!

    I'm curious as to why somebody that made over a million bucks on his last board is moaning about a buck eighty.

    Wow could this be a new day for Roy? Agreeing to let some SI members try out a fin and give a report? That is admirable and I am very interested in the reports. Although the scary looking front edge give me reservation I do see the potential for the fins.

    A new day for rcarter too I suspect.

    We just got some nice new shaping and glassing stands from shapers australia, and are in the process of converting the back room of our shop for some R&D on foam boards. I'm pining to get down in length again so some 8 footers in eps are coming up.That's what started the fins, I wanted some ( not wooden) for these mid lengths:

    Someone needs to PM me and tell me how to post pics on this site. Roy has agreed to let me try it out, and I have promised him to give it an honest tryout in several conditions, then find another member who promises to pass it on to another responsible member and so on. I want to post photos of the sessions, and my boards, but am a Luddite. This could be informative, cool, and a breakthrough in Yankee-Kiwi foreign policy. (I hosted a Kiwi and a Limey from Stormrider Guides for a few days, way back when. They were mapping all the surfspots in the US and I put them up for a few days. It was totally flat, so no secret spots were exposed).

    Click on the little pic icon in the reply window. Then upload form your computer. I have to use the basic uploader on my Mac for some reason.

    I ain't slippin man. Roy is still king sheep banger for charging a million+ for a popsicle stick but if he is willing to let some of our crew try his fins for free then hey that is a cool move.

    Just to put up some more points,

    Fuk you Roy, Fuk you Wayne, Fuk you Michelle Jr, Fuk you Wave Gayer, Fuk you Big $ Tbag.
