I took the 10" dolphin off my new Soul Surf and put on this narrow 9" jobby.



Fully expecting that all it would do is help me catch a few more waves so I can get used to the board a bit sooner and fully expecting that it would not be of any use if I tried to noseride the board.

Well bugger me, regardless of the fin, she still manages to put in a reasonably good job of holding me up at the tip. This board never ceases to amaze me I can't stay off it, no matter how crap the surf is.

I got a bump on the side of my head, bark missing from my shins wetty and board chafing from arsehole to breakfast, sunburn everywhere else, and I still want to keep taking it out.

Me and MR surfed till dark yesterday and I did the same again this arvo, then went back to work for a half arsed excuse of a callout, just so I could turn up late tomorrow after having another sesh.

I think I'm getting a bit out of control with this

i've seen short board fins like this. this 'handle shape' is also useful for pulling the board out of the old board bag.


still, some crew swear them.

surf like there's no tomorrow

I kid you not Mac, this south African guy who shaped it must know his sh!t.

I think the Pearson arrow CJ Nelson will be going soon and maybe even my spare 10.6 munoz, I just can't see the need for them anymore.
