Shaping room shots before we went for the evening rise in surf.

6'6" x 19 1/2" x tapered 2 5/8" Eps Epoxy 5 Fin

Doug has ridden these for 25 years

He is a long time friend who moved here in 1971

He went to school with Ray who built the KKL machine , Bunker Spreckels , shaper Ron House and Steve Lis .

Reno had his shaping room at his house in the 70's to mid 80's .

He helped Jeff Hakman with his Quicksilver beginings as a silent partner .

Doug has seen more than most :)














Foiled Tucked Edge :)





Custom Fins fitted to the board :)






Happy Meal :)

Neal Purchase Jr. has just discovered the 5 fin design - he's stoked . <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

From his Blog :
WTF! A Quartet plus 1.... with smaller front fins...blowing my mind....

Would be big fun tuning him in further .

A guy I grew up with was really into levitation. Pioneer actually. The things he knows... you guys aren't ready for.

My buddy Russ came over last night. We were talking about spark plugs and hand grenades. He rode boggie boards before most of you learned how to surf.

Were your spark plugs specifically designed for your car?

Lemon asparagus last night. My wife loved it.

Best part is that a Sparkplug has way more real engineering in it compared to the fins you are using . <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/poke.gif" alt="" />

You're a good sport Greg <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

I'm riding Halcyons. But I would imagine that a spark plug has way more engineering in it than any fin has! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/poke.gif" alt="" />
