New Supertanker Fin

After a horrifying fin-loss on my 9-8 super old school board, I decided to give the board a new fin instead of just repairing it. I figured it was a good opportunity of experiment a little. So I decided to replace the big D-fin with a more modern hatchet fin.
Scientific analysis yielded the optimum placement of the fin. Yeah right....this looks about right

  2. Yeah, some bits of pine from a pallet!

    I think maybe the fin is too big....it is reallly stiff!
