Its from the ProBox fins site/blog and the templates (board and fins) are pure McCoy/Horan, with a little reverse Campbell Bros thrown in.
The reverse (to norm) foil is meant to be the lowest drag option, which is why this is a more common shape on boats now than swept back like a conventional surfboard fin.
I had the best barrels of my life on my McCoy Nugget in both Indo and the Caribbean. I guess I may have to make a version in the very near future, add the EVO vortex bottom, foil up a spitfire fin… find some decent waves to try it in – watch this space…
hi tim , i really enjoy reading your blog , always something really interesting going on , i have a spitfire fin you can try , hand foiled from brazilian mahogany , i tried it in a wood skinned bonzer i have made but the board felt better with a 6 inch bonzer fin in there , i never tried the spitfire all the way foreward in the box so that might be worth it at some point , it will just save you the time of making one if you want to try mine , i live in st austell
ReplyDeleteThanks, that would be great Pete... maybe we can meet up on the North Coast sometime and try some boards out...
