    Wow, you've ventured off into creating Formica countertops! Pretty good stuff Roy, gotta admit it.

    Single fin, with single plus tunnel and single plus inline trailer options.

    Next up the same dims with wide point forward... ready to glass now.

    The board above is incredibly tough with double 10oz top and bottom. The board is a blade, feels super thin ( nearly as thin as my 1990's boards). Light single concave, low rocker, I should be able to duck dive it and can't wait to get it out at Whale Bay.

    From what I've seen of your designs, you are very fond of the pin tail. Some of your boards, if there was no fin, I would swear they were upside down. Why do you favor this design?

    This board is (apart from the rocker) basically double ended, so turning the board upside down would look pretty similar to the right way up.

    The extreme pintails ( which this isn't) certainly would not be ideal with the planshape reversed however. I favour them because they ride so well, it's quite a lengthy topic to explain I'll do so if you are interested.

    The board above has a 13 inch tail at the 12" mark so is not unusual as far as the nose and tail go.

    Nah, it's okay, it's just something I've notice on your boards you display on here. You are correct, this one is not as extreme as others.

    Mike that's a 6 foot balsa single from 1997, which I made for my son when he was 7. He caught hundreds of waves on it. Needs a new fin and a tidy up for smallest son now also aged 7.

    Lol you think the pin tail shoud go forward !! I'm assuming you think this because you ride a short board with a pulled in nose right ?
