In SD winter? What would Yimmy say? Only need a tank top south of Golden Gate Bridge.
is this another veiled reference to your and @oeste858 ‘s relationship?
He's a little sparky this morning. Probably going hard and deep later.

Comparisons... Slightly less base than the AM2, considerably more than EAs... arbitrary choice I guess, except as an inside foil comparison. Rusty is super subtle.

A recent chat that I had with Chat GPT: about surfboard fin design. Is this a bad thing?
ChatGPT said:
A thicker foil on a single fin impacts performance in several ways compared to a thinner foil:
Lift and Drive: A thicker foil generates more lift, providing greater drive and stability, especially in small or weak waves.
Drag: Thicker foils create more drag, slightly reducing top-end speed and responsiveness.
Hold and Control: Thicker foils enhance hold in turns and maintain control in steeper waves, but may feel less loose or agile.
Pivots and Turns: Thinner foils are better for quicker pivots and sharper turns, as they slice through water more easily.
Choose based on wave size and style preference.

ChatGPT said:
A beard won’t affect fin performance, but it might boost the surfer’s style points! ♂
You said:
what if he had a vagina in his beard?
ChatGPT said:
That’s quite an imaginative scenario! Surfing performance still depends on skill and conditions, not unconventional anatomy.
You said:
but you said he might boost the surfers style points, so by that logic a vagina in the beard would also increase his style points.
ChatGPT said:
Fair point! A beard with a twist like that would definitely turn heads and could make for some legendary surf style stories!

What twist
ChatGPT said:
The "twist" being the unusual and imaginative idea of a vagina in a beard! Definitely a unique concept!
You said:
Yes it is

Yeah that’s the Christenson tri-quad set, but Christensons is fiberglass. Faken great set of fins.
“The set utilises the Accelerator thruster set paired with the Performer quad trailer fins. The Accelerator template is known as a versatile, all-round fin that delivers a balance of speed, flow & response with added control through turns courtesy of a fuller tip profile.
Paired with the Performer quad trailer, the quad set will deliver a very solid and dependable feel that surfers can push hard without fear of losing control.
The PG material was chosen by Christenson to work on a variety of his board models. While slightly heavier than our PC fins, the PG material provides a solid and connected feel when driving through turns and carves”.
Get this set and be done with it
Stretch S2 Gun 4-Fin (4.25")
Description: Continuing on the legacy of the original Stretch fin, the #2 template (available as ST-2 in Futures 4.5" 5-fin set) is now offered in custom hand-foiled fiberglass and brings a different flavor to the palette. A slightly wider base, additional rake and narrower tip area provide a...

No, they're all Futures, except for this one (it's 7 years old, but still trucking)
I finally got sick of digging through the tote full of fin envelopes. Cheap shoe organizer works alright. Wish I'd gotten one with clear plastic instead of mesh. Thought it would be enough slots but I had to double some up.
Damn dude. I have a tool bag full of loose fins. Sometimes I can’t find matches and just run mismatched sets.
I too get sick of digging around so I end up buying multiple sets of fins I like and just leave them in the boards.
