    that model is actually called a "sting fish". I had one, but the wide point is significantly behind the mid-point, so the board didn't paddle quite as well as I was looking for. Once I got on a wave, it was a hp beast.

    My first new board was a 5'9" Clyde Beatty Jr. Rocket Fish twin fin swallowtail with a mural of a fish closeup, all the scales, and its eye near the nose, bright green and yellow colors with light blue rails. Man, I wish I had that board now!

    Or just resin poured in and sanded back to shape without any reinforcing cloth.

    Favorite board eva was a 5'6" twin fin swallow tail Natural Art. Surfed it 'till the (glassed in) fins came off.
