Just had to share my excitement upon receiving me new beautiful fin from Alkali. It's the Thomas Bexan 10.5. Something nice about Australian hand made products... Hopefully test it out at Scotts Head on the weekend.

^+1...looks like a nice board to put it in too, should keep you off those 666'ers most of the time

Cuts through water like a hot knife to butter mine was a 10.5 inch worked nice on my 906 at the time.

Warnsey, great fin, but, get rid of those side fins. Too much drag. Single fin for speed!!!!

Hmm... I was thinking the same thing. A 10.5" fin on a 9'2 board should be sufficient.

Please explain what this fin is all about? What's the reason behind the bullet ?

Looks like it would act as a wing to create lift

I run one of these on my 9'3" Clearwater Whalebone. Terrific fin for speed and turning with decent hold when noseriding faster/steeper waves.

Awesome fin... Why did you sell yours Mac?
