Ahh the joys of nagging yourself.

Is the new board ready yet Kitey?
Yes it's all done and here it is ready for collection.

6ft8 x 19 1/2 x 2 1/2. Fat boy flier with lots of volume left in the rails.

KS i'm a little bit intrigued at the angle of the fins. I know the general consensus is to get them to point at the nose, it just looks a little severe on this board (might just be the picks)

Have you started to experiment with fins yet.

In your work surely there has to be an oportunity to check the flow etc. I'm intrigued by the quad srt up o n the stretch, again a generalisation is that the rear split the " the surface area of the rear fin of a thruster set up" creating more drive blah de blah. what would interesting is if you could take the technology further, just off on one here but if the front fins in a quad were more flexible and were able to divert the flow of water to the back fins that were harder would that not create a better potential for quicker harder turns??

Infact forget that it would have to be the opposite way round i think? more flex at the rear.

It is just the pics as the fins point to their side of the stringer at the nose.

Nope my last clark blank is still safely in the shaping shack, awaiting a spray job.

COME ON PAULT WHERE'S MY DESIGN!

*taps fingers impatiently and ponders the merits of a nagging pault thread*

Also may have managed to lay my grubby little mits on another clark blank!
