I snapped my favourite fin last night.



It was the one I found on the side if the road and filed if down to fit. It was probably made for a windsurfer.

I was thinking about taking it down to Dion or Bennetts and asking them if they could cut me a new one from their stock layup sheets and even possibly foil it for me.

I doubt they would be interested But it may be worth a try.

nothing that exciting, I just tried to kick out in really shallow water and hit the sand.

So what are you saying Simondo,you don't like 80's retro pink

I only pull the gun out if he's bigger than me

Oh its just the pin ^^^ what Crazy mentioned,now that will fix it

Thanks CC, I may try that, in the mean time, I took the opportunity to make another one myself.

I had a fair bit of left over 200g woven and some 2mm core matting so I did a layup and cut one out that's much thinner a fraction bigger and taller with about 110% more flex that the molded plastic one.

I also made the hump more pronounced.

Took it out in some dreadful washing machine slop yesterday arvo and could not tell for sure how well it worked.

There was an excellent fullish wave this morning that really suited the Munoz so I tried it again and it does seem to have maintained the speed. But the turning is still so so.

Yeah, Collaroy, got about 45 minutes in the water before I had to meet the old girl down at the Mall.

It was just perfect for the board I had, I'm dying for the bommy to get going, I reckon I'll be loading up another 10 or so meters out the back with this thing.

Went back their this arvo, it was still rideable, but only just. A few kite surfer were taking off from Longy and making their way around the headland to Collaroy. Hell they were a long way out, those guys must have huge stones.

she was a pretty decent southerly.
