  • Anybody who knows what the thin board witout fins you surf out from the beach is called ?

  • no the hydrodynamics make NO sense sorry

  • great

  • Very quick noob question: Im about to buy replacement fin for my board which is the right and which is the left fin? Probably stupid question but its not cheap and buying online so want to get this right!

  • yeah dude, you totally forgot to talk about longboard fins. thanks

  • keep up the good work.

  • @RoyStewart Hi Roy, I have a question regarding your vortex fin. I surf with a 9 foot modern longboard; and I made a vortex fin that utilizes the side bite fin boxes, to hold the vortex fin in place. As a result, the single fin is placed behind the vortex fin. That seems to work just fine (makes the board faster and seems to create lift); but I was wondering what's the effect of placing the single fin in front of the vortex fin, which is the way your boards are set up. Thanks in advance.
