Reasons Keef should make me a fin
I'm willing to pay.
I'd really REALLY appreciate it.
I'd take really good care of it.
Keef provides other services to strange women for money all the time. I don't see why fins should be any different.
I need to go really fast.
Isaac generously shares his knowledge and gear with people from other teams. It would be a shame to be outdone by Isaac in yet another category.
It's scientifically important to test whether the fins work as effectively on the north coast as the south coast.
It would shut me up.

decided to do a post on HOW TOO make a weed speed fin 45+deg wide profile in the speed section until c3 posted there proto , very much similar to mine

so far to my knowledge the only fin like it is the MFC and there 55deg rake , just a bit to much for my liking
these wide, low profiled fins around 22cm or less will drive a 7.5mt sail in chop, and cut through weed like your grandfathers axe
the biggest problem with your normal weedy to drive a bigger sail through weed, it just doesn't do the job
ive almost got enough data down to show you how to make make your own , its been a slow process because i have had to make a fin from scratch only a week ago, it should be ready too box in a couple of days , then ill post the pic's
this is an excellent time of the year to knock up a project, we will have the westerly's here(illawarra) around june and you will need a shallow weedy

weed fins
can anyone give me a general idea of what the measurements on a weed fin equate to on a pointer fin?
I have a Flying Objects weedy that is a 28 (or 280 as marked on the cover) and I also have a Black project Speed weed that says it is a 28. The two of them couldn't be more different in depth. The FO is definately 28cm from the base of the fin to the tip if I drew an imaginary straight up and down line. The BP is 24cm using the same imaginary line from base of fin to tip. The shape of the 2 fins is quite different with the BP being a fat little thing and the FO being more like a raked over pointer.
The rake of the 2 fins is different, the FO being the more raked of the 2.
Does rake have anything to do with things (apart from the barometer with which to measure how much weed you may or may not pick up) or is it a surface area thing?
I guess what I want to know is ideally what my 2 fins are equal two in pointer terms and also from now on what other sizes I should be looking to purchase to compensate for not being able to use pointers in weedy spots. The FO seems to work fine in my Falcon 89 (although I would like a smaller one for another smaller slalom board I have) so it is really my Falcon 112 I need a good fin for.
Cheers all
