FINS FOR THE CAMEL TOE

.


.
I sacrificed a dawn patrol opportunity this morning to go draw up a fin template for the Camel Toe with the Dove.
.
For this board I want long based twin fins, but at the same time I don't want all that base glassed on the tail to retard its flex. The solution we went with was to notch out the rear of the fin to reduce the amount of base tied to the board... form must follow function. Plus, though I've never ridden notched fins, they supposedly have a bit of good "twang" to them as seen in a Rastovich interview that Pranaglider/23 Breaths posted a while back.
