Even if the pads are cut out to fit, it looks aftermarket to me.... and bloody dangerous for the toes too !!

yeah I am pretty sure its for a clip on wheel setup so you dont have to carry the sucker around. I have seen similar things on an exocet learner board a few years ago.

dont have a shark shield so i suppose i could hook a spoiler on it to change the aerodynamics abit. I definately dont want to slow down enough to use it as a fishing rod holder

The actual shark shield was probably eaten by a big w. pointer though...

So, they label the board with 'Tufskin' and then add a shark shield.

I think they may not actually believe it really is 'tufskin'... or rhinos have gotten wimpy.

Be interesting to know where the previous owner sailed if he needed a shark shield or maybe just paranoid

it's a white thingy with red line and knobbly bits attached to what looks like a back of a windsurf board. Maybe a trailer hitch?
