Love the wood finish!!!

Yeah cool. I don't ride anything over 5.3 - i find that a bigger board is more beneficial as any advantage of increase in sail area larger than 5.3 is just lost by the weight and feel. But that's just me!

No, its not just you .

SS, hope you enjoy the SUP. I think windSUP is a bit "marmite", but there are plenty who love using them in waves and light winds, me included. In fact I wouldn;t have windsurfed this winter at all without mine. You need to rethink your technique a bit, in particular you need to move your feet around if you want to get it to turn.

So it's similar to surfing a longboard...

[Billyboy]

yes, kind of. But more like SUP! the board is much wider so you need to move one or even both feet over onto the inside rail rather than keeping them near the centerline.

Sorry Chris for going OT! Maybe we should have a new thread if you want to discuss more SS?? There are a few forumites who regularly windsup in waves...

They are slot boxes (rear large fins have 4 small allen key screws each and front smaller fins have 2 small allen key screws each).

thanks, I have not seen a rounded end version of slot box. Nice

Ref the color and scheme it probably looks different in person. Its not want I call easy on the eye, but it is eye catching, so the artist has probably accomplished the task. Nice to see original art

That looks fantastic Chris - can we see some higher res pics and some more detail. What is the rail shape like etc? And tail width?

Will post some more specs tonight. Tail width, thickness, rails, anything else?

Oh and the 'stock' fins are 16cm/10cm
