Walking the nose or turning is required due to inefficient design apparently...

You fellows are full of **.

I'd explain in detail but it's probably a waste of time, as you are no doubt going to hang on to your misconceptions.

Roy totally confused here with your fins.

firstly i have been on your website www.roystuart.biz/ and i see a few fin reviews here and videos but they all seem to be of SUP'ers or you surfing a board and going primarily in a straight line. I am interested in these fins if they snap or crack due to the layers upon layers made my the 3D printer. Furthermore according to your 3D viewer these fins seem to be quite fat and chunky is this due to the fact that if they are foiled down they snap?

the board and some of your other boards seem to have ridiculous amounts of rocker through the board why is that? In my opinion you have made a very 1 dimentional board here. Not allowing for walking forward or noseriding due to the nose rocker, and not much turning either im guessing due to the tunnel fin not allowing the board to turn at all?

alot of the videos of you surfing, the board seems to struggle for speed and push water. in this video you seem to be constantly sucked up the wave due to the board not having enough speed and your rectify this by crouching down. maybe the tunnel fin doesnt work?
this video you have a flatter board and you seem to maintain alot better speed and trim thru flat sections




There are no SUP based reviews on my site.

The fins are robust.

The foils are designed for hydrodynamic efficiency, most fins are too thin.

The rockers are not what you suppose, and I can prove it.

You can't spell dimensional.

The boards turn very well.

Nose riding is not what they are designed for.

Speed is excellent, and has been measured. You fail to observe this.

The guns shown in the article have sub par design, and that's a fact. You'll see.

Whatever.... a lot of jealousy being expressed by you fellows.

Anyway I'll be making the boards as promised, and you'll see what happens.

lol It was only a matter of time -he cracked.I still would like to see a picture of the board that supposedly sold for a mill !!!
This is like an episode of South Park - so good.
Really like to see innovation and lateral thinking but it needs to be backed up by performance so Roy how about some footage of some decent surfers riding short or longboards with with those crazy looking spud cutters

Well I haven't seen anything yet,in so far as innovative surfing on your innovative fins,I'm not saying they don't work but surely you have footage of decent surfers riding them,that would be a step in the right direction as far as getting people interested in purchasing them, or are we supposed to blindly believe you?

Actually we have many people commenting upon how well the boards go when I'm riding them, including longboarder mark 'CJ' Nelson who said recently that the Hotkurl 10-5 "turns amazingly well"... my surfing is good, the boards are good, and so are the fins, regardless of what you say.

Innovative surfing does not only include asp monkey tricks. what you see above you won't see anywhere else.

I'm happy to be 'indecent' in your eyes.

LOFL - I rest my case.
In addition I didn't say the fins weren't good I asked for some footage or pictures of decent surfers riding them on short or longboards.Your videos of yourself don't really show what they are capable of,or if thats the extent of their performance thanks but no thanks,I was surfing like that on a coolite in 1970-no offence just not my style anymore.

But I have to say, I don't see him using the fin on his Instagram pics...




"Oh man!! I love the fin and rode it daily in my 11' skip frye eagle copy. It's changed a lot of my
perception of what works.
My mind is opened.
I love innovators such as your self man. Keeping things fresh and moving is so important
I'm loving the fin.
Thank you"

He has his own line of fins to promote.

Ask him on facebook if you don't believe me.

Well i am a pretty slack person on seabreeze, Roy I will.respond to your offer on fins tonight. MR I will also get back to you.

So I'm a crap.surfer, and I will buy for one of Roy's fins for my single and for my new shorty. I will then give you all my opinion on how they go.

I have nothing to gain except a good fin setup.... I hope.
Or lose money,which this broke arse hopes is not the case

pointed at nobody in particular , but plenty of blokes on the breeze flapping their gums on what they know and how good they are.
…then again whats wrong with a bit of self belief.

as for pimping i think there is one or two blokes in the surf trade with breezer logins
