More 3d printing fun... look now before the thread is binned.

Do you know of materials which are suitable for surfboard fins? Polycarbonate is doing well, nylon is a possibility, but I'm keen to learn more.

 

From shaper Paul Cannon of Napier posted on Facebook, who has a 6.5" Warp Drive Spitfire BLEF RAE102 single fin:



"so mylo my mate i posted those photos of recently.. finally stuck the warp drive fin on his board in the last two day . surfing the rivermouth.. like i really tried hard to get him to try it. but hes a skeptic so it sat in a draw for 3 months. anyway i was hassling and he finally chucked it on . i saw him to day and he was RAVING about it. this is a surfer of 40 years and tried a lot of stuff. Roy told me that the fin he made for me was a bit too small for a mal . but we did it anyway ..so he was tripping on it basically. saying the differences and improvement wasnt subtle. it was obvious . he as asked me to get him a longer version and i am gunna set one of my boards up . comments like having a "turbo". like driving on dirt and then changing to new ashpalt. and it " blew me away ".. So Thanks ROy cant wait to try some other xxxxx from you brother.."
