Modernized 70s single fin

They do wonders for your surfing, and when you get it right they feel so good.
I get a bit of that, because I started surfing on single fins. Everything has to be more subtle because you can't count on the board to help you out. I could go down the line on a single, but not much else. And they probably do help your surfing, because everything is so much more difficult.
But.. watch the surfers on Morning of the Earth. The limitations are so obvious. That was how I surfed then.
Sorry, but single fins on short boards suck. You would feel even better riding a twin, quad or thruster.
But carry on. Biases in people are hard to erase.
I think you completely miss the point of this thread. I surf thrusters, twins, quads, bonzers, griffin five fins and singles.
I like my old single, its really fun to surf at waist-chest point breaks and I happen to live by a pretty good one. Started thinking about how much fun an updated version would be.
When you can surf 3-5 hours a day you start to want to try new things.
Clayster, I do agree with a lot of your last post.
- most of the boards in MOTE were dogs (and the cinematogrphy is too zoomed in. Heresy, I know)
- I wouldn't go single on a DD shortie
But for down the line waves, and clean barrels, they definitely have their place.

It was a really entertaining listen.Such a frotherhe sure tells a good tale
The rendering of his surf stories reminded me of the so pitted guy........in a good way.
