Fin snap

Postby Katsura » Wed Sep 07, 2011 7:04 am

My blue square hatchet snapped clear off the base today, AND I lost it completely, If I'd grabed onto it I would have probably glassed it in on a beater board.

However in the process I think I discoved alaia style surfing is hella fun. I stayed out despite the finless wonder. The board is so loose it's hard to do turns, but I can just about surf it using the rails = spins and 360s are a bliss :).

Oh BTW, If you happen to come across a 10 inch blue hatch surfing around Noosa, give it back to me :)

That is annoying, at least it didn't spoil your session though.

A little annoying indeed, I loved that fin... But, no bad days surfing, I actually had a blast surfing it finless LOL.
