The 8 inch A4 arrived this morning and its fitted in board, first thoughts its not a lot of fin for such a big board.
I could be wrong but I think Skip and Josh Hall even use a 7 inch fin on the big boys. Like 4ryder said I think when you have that much rail in the water you dont need as much fin and if you do have a lot of fin it makes them stiff and track.
Could be wrong as I have never surfed a board even remotely that big but that is just what I have heard.
Nice Mac, it's a beauty!!! ![]()
See you in 6 months when I can possibly surf again and we'll share a few. ![]()
6 months I'm no hope you know my history on keeping boards![]()
Thanks Chrispy toning down the art as I get old![]()
I understand,I too have toned down the art on my boards as well
