    You probably won't hear this often on here but, good job Roy! I'm not a longboarder but look forward to the reviews and discussions with the man behind the fin.

    Sorry, I seem to recall that you offered to test a Gull Wing over on the other thread.

    I lost track because I was expecting a PM ( that way I don't have to scroll through the whole thread to catch up).

    Anyway I have Gull Wing and possibly more ready to go, what are you riding?

    A slight correction here, the spitfire single I sent is a 7.5" Eppler168 and I sent a 3.5" Spitfire BLEF Eppler168 trailer as the 4.25" Eppler isn't printed yet, I'll send that on ( to make up the thruster set) as soon as it is done.

    Thanks.

    There are plenty of shortboard options with the smaller fins in the package if you have FCS, the Spitfire and even the big Gull Wing will work in some shortboards and midlengths also.

    No worries Roy. My fins are glassed in anyway. And, as my luck has gone, If I get stabbed by your fins, it would take a giant chunk.

    They are probably a lot safer than most conventionally made and shaped fins, by quite a margin.

    Of course, because they are made from a sheep's bladder by a gnome on an island where fairy dust really does exist.
