Hi DJ i have had one for a while now as you know but have not used it for a while cos i been using my Bullet to often but i did a DW paddle to Franga the other evening and put the Aercore fin on my Naish LE and I had the best time out there. It has got me back to using a fixed fin board again for DW'rs. I think you'll really enjoy it and don't forget to call me for any DW action.

It will be interesting to see how my new fin compares with yours and see if there's any difference.. I've seen quite a few variations.

Next thursday is looking like it might be on for another downwinder.. I should have my new camera rig finished by then..

At least you know where in the box it needs to go... you can't move it forward or back!

Looks very good. A mate of mine talked to me about "fin shadow". My thoughts (without trying it), is that you should get really nice tracking with the fin shadow effect, and you might also get nice maneuverability / response when surfing the runners...

It's a nice looking fin actually... also, the front fin looks like a lovely George Greenough inspired "Marlin" fin. Check out is movie "Crystal Voyager" from the late 1960's.

What's the theory with having the whole in the middle ?

My take on it is that if the hole was not there it would make the DW board too hard to turn.. They are hard enough to turn anyway.. I'm sure there's more things going on with this design.. I'd be interested to hear what others think about this design.. Is there a canard fin/wing thing happening?

Thanks for that, D J, and H C. How did the fin go?

Didn't get out yesterday so nothing to report, later in the week is looking promising.

I finally got to test my new Arecor DW fin yesterday.. the fin went great.
