Where in the box did you find the center fin works best...Any pics?

DJ

Hey DJ I managed to upload some pics of my board;

I cant believe how much time it takes just to add images to threads - Not something I can be bothered doing much of - would rather be riding ;)

Hi Jethro,

yes it's the naish pad but as you can see I cut it into 4 strips - this looks better but more importantly it lets you know where you are on the board without looking. you can feel where the centre line is and the 1/4 line as well. works well for me. I think I'll put a tail-pad on someday too as it rides so well off the tail.

7.3/4" centre fin side view( it's one of my old windsurfing fins I used on 8' thruster wave sailboard):
These fins have really losened up the board - it has affected the paddling too, it is less stable & when paddling along the flats it turns alot more. I've had a few sessions on this fin set-up now in junky wobbly shoulder-high onshore & it goes well so I'm looking forward to a good big clean swell.

The handle does not balance well - I tend to use it only to get the board onto my shoulder or head for carrying.

To get your wax looking like that: First you carefully cross-hatch using a hard wax on its edge like a crayon - the quality of your lines affects the finish. Aim to get unbroken smooth "crayon" lines. Once you've done the cross-hatching wipe off any excess wax with the flat of your hand. Now wax in the usual way, gently rub the wax on its flat side in small circles. The wax will build on your cross-hatching.

Hey Glass off,

cool pic's mate first time i've seen the deck pad for the naish and i like it; how much was it? Im thinking about getting one for my 11'6 naish.

How about just a couple of pic's of you surfing it before you give up on adding images.......lol
