Was the "chopstick" for strength or for decoration Spaz?
good question, if it was for strength it must be overkill. those chopstrand fins are like 1 cm think and it destroys rocks if you hit one, rather than destroying your fin.
id say decoration, noll is the only 1 i have seen doing it, seems to be in alot of his early 60s boards
