I pour plenty of glue in the bottom of the hole, then set the box in it. Hell we even took the fin off it and rode it down some grass hills as kids, and my step brother even belted the next door neighbour with it hence the slight chip out of the fin.

It has a round pin but I am tempted to cut off the last el or two, Im single fin shortboard this would make some more release. With a thruster, I find myself moving around inside the tube more with little pumps, using the transitions inside the tube to generate more speed and to flirt with the foam ball. When it was at its ring, guys were getting paid to ride longboards, travel the world, and do contests. Might have to pinch it back!. We conspired on the design always one of the most fun parts about getting a new board and I took possesion of it about a month ago. And I shape for customers like yourself, who ride longboards most of the time I tend to shape something that isn't terribly loose to keep the transition from long to short and back to long a lot easier. A board I really like is the Albers Bro single that belongs I single fin shortboard to swaylock. The Surfboard fin was born!. Advertisement - Haven't spent enough time on it to feel it out properly, though i did get some decent little bit overhead waves on it, however i had it setup as a thruster then haha. Without a fin, the first prototypes were impossible to keep going in a straight line for more than a few seconds. Hello, I almost exclusively ride longboards, but Id like to shape a singlefin shortboard, just to add some variety to my quiver. I dont really like the feel of thrusters, that is why im choosing to go with a singlefin. My question to anyone that could help is when shaping a singlefin, is there anything special to keep in mind when drawing the outline or placement of the fin box? Any input is appreciated. Thank you Mike Rannie Mike, Since you are a longboarder you may want to keep some of the same qualities in your shortboard. When I shape for customers like yourself, who ride longboards most of the time I tend to shape something that isn't terribly loose to keep the transition from long to short and back to long a lot easier. Design wise, use a long box so you have a lot of flexibility with your fin placement. If you have a bit of a forward stance, you can place the fin up a bit in the box. Rocker wise, you'll want to try something that lends itself to a fairly large sweet spot, so you need to keep a nice flow without the standard thruster curve, flat, curve. As far as bottom shape, try a little roll in the nose if you're using a nose over 14 inches, fairly flat through the middle. A little V at the fin and finished off with a very shallow V off the tail, or flat at the end if you want to increase the drive a little. Concave spiral V in that V area if you want to get some extra speed through turns. Rails can stay neutral with a hint of edge tucked way under almost to the nose. Keep the rails at the tail a little more pinched than a thruster as you'll need some extra bite to make up for the fact that you don't have any fin out on the rail. Yeah, you want to install the fin box straight. I have used only O'fishl boxes as they are to be glassed in... With low volume, I haven't been compelled to use a router and template. I mark the box on the blank and tape around the mark. Then I cut the box open and install a fin in it. Then I tape all the parts where the glue shouldn't go. I use a dremel tool and carefully freehand cut the box opening. I create little voids up and back on either side of the stringer for the glue to grab the stringer. For cutting the stringer, next time I plan to drill it with a bit as wide as the stringer. Then I'll clean it up with the dremel tool. For glue, I mix resin with Diatomaceous Earth from the pool store. DE is tiny glass shards. I coat box and hole with glue. I pour plenty of glue in the bottom of the hole, then set the box in it. I sight in the box to the stringer for direction straightness. I sight in the fin with the blank entry area for squareness. I check back periodically while the glue dries. For squareness, I believe the eye is more accurate than any tool I can can use. Besides, if I can't see an error then there isn't one... My method works, although I'm sure it's too labor intensive for production work. Any input is appreciated. Thank you Mike Rannie I also like the feel of the single fin and am trying to make a good shortboard out of one. I have made a series of four. My favorite one is a 7'8 egg. This is longer than I wanted to go, because I was looking for quick manouvers in smaller waves. The other 3 were between 6'8 and 6'10. Of these 3, The 6'10 with 13n 20m and 14 tail worked best. The tail has hard edges like a thruster. The rocker is medium. The first one i made had a little too much. It has a round pin but I am tempted to cut off the last inch or two, Im hoping this would make some more release. The boards works great when the waves are hallow and juicy. It has the single fin smooth and can do quick pocket turns. If the waves were great all the time I would ride this board. Unfortunately the South Bay is plauged with small mushy surf, the antagonist of the single fin shortboard. My next single will be 7'0 roundy squash. The rails will have the edges of a thruster. The rocker will be low but I can not forget I will only be riding this when it is hallow and at least shoulder high. The glassing 6-4 deck 4 bottom. I think I want it light. What do you guys think? Any input is appreciated. Thank you Mike Rannie Mike: What type of surf do you ride on a regular basis? Rather than type a bunch of stuff I think I'll try to post some pictures of a few of my boards with measurements, descriptions and explanations. Yeah, I am on the single fin kick also. After watching Morning of the Earth I figured, I won't ever surf that good, so why do I need the extra fins, those guys ripped on 1. A board I really like is the Albers Bro single that belongs I think to swaylock. Nice shape that one. I have not been quite able to get my curves right to match its look though. Yeah, I am also working towards a single fin short board. My desire is highly influenced by the classic 70's films like Morning of the Earth, Free Ride etc. Its in rough shape but one of my neighbours was throwing it away, so I got it for free! Its kinda round in the nose, fairly flat, pretty wide 21 + and has no leash plug. I believe it has a Fin's Unlimited fin box. I'll throw some pictures of it up
