FIBRE GLAS FIN CO

.
Larry Allison of Fibre Glas Fin Co is a stoker— A wealth of fin history and design knowledge gained from decades of experience that he shares openly. Graham of Shelter made a fin run to F.G.F.Co yesterday, and I jumped in for the ride. Here's a few pics through the halls of Fibre Glas Fin Co, where fins are made far, far away from China:

Fin templates that are in constant monthly production, shelved in the laminating room.
.
And heaps more templates stashed in another.

Just picked up a Greenough 4A flex template at Mitch's by Larry. Psyched.
