I am thinking overkill ! Why has the owner of this board set it up like that?

Ask Lacey

Actually murry burton just posted a board like that fb


Not as close as that. A thruster like quad or something.

For those that know he explained in murry speak

Here's Muzz's version if you can be arsed to read the full write up: www.bourtonshapes.com/the-little-zapper/

^ That last one Cobra is a classic (pffft like using three fins is ever gonna take off).

As a teen, on the search for my first ever decent surfboard surfboard I came across this old fat fish with a single winged keel. Twas white with the southern cross painted on it (just in case anyone has it).

I procrastinated about that board for weeks knowing it was something that didn't follow the norm, and for $100 it was a good buy.... but...... everyone in the lineup was using thrusters, and if you didn't have a thruster, well you just didn't paddle out.

But by the time I came to my senses, someone else made the decision for me and it was gone next time I passed the shop. Now I reckon if I picked it up I would have surfed it once or twice and then put it away as an experimental design classic. Would be hanging on the shed wall now..... if hadn't %&@ed around in making a decision.

Functional? Your guess is as good as mine

But yes, they are boards to be surfed. However some are just art. It's all abit weird

Have a flick around his site when you get a chance, explains a few things about them and there is some photos ofthem in action

On topic here are a few fins he makes.

I am all for continued design experiments.

Here is one from NPJ..

What some may see as stupid or pointless - others see as their light bulb moment.

i would like to try that board,in my uneducated mind i can see how it might work

Whats wrong with the good old fashioned single

Thought I'd better show my Quad Mod....fairly basic really, using the McKee system.


What a difference a Quad makes
