Used to be an avid reader of Swayloks, until the hate got thicker than the funk that wafts from under my teenage sons oft closed bedroom door. Tipping point was when some clown who went by the handle of "Silly" declared war on anything with a paddle. Put in my two cents worth and was crucified from one end of the forum to the other. Even some crusty old plonker over there who pilloried me in rhyming couplets...go figure, think he thought he was surfings answer to T.S. Elliot.
As I recall Roy Stewart had a history of ruffling feathers and standing his ground regardless of the sh.t he copped over on Sway's. His boards were works of art without a doubt and the craftsmanship involved in producing them way beyond my comprehension. But, as I recall Roy could be a bloody minded and stubborn cuss whos opinion on anything from his unique fin designs (tell me your on the Breeze so Pipefins can feel your hot and sweaty breath down the back of his neck?), to the allege'd superior performance parameters of his twelve plus hollow creations (incidentally backed by GPS read outs). Did I mention this guy makes Boarder Paul look like the kind of bloke you'd like to spend fourty eight hours with in a Navajo sweat lodge.
Welcome to The Breeze Roy...let the games commence!!
Cheers

So how thick are your boards at 27 wide? Do you make then thinner to retain volume?

Oh my gosh...haven't logged in for a while
Shock & Horror
Is that Pipefins on the breeze......or an imposter?

Hope everyone had a good day & had a splash around in water of some description (even pipefins whoever or wherever he may happen to be)

What are you doing posting on the weekend ? Surf no good ?

doggie never gets bad surf[:

occasinally even doggie must snap a fin or break a leggie ?

Of course I guess doggie....surfing absolutely perfectly....wouldn't even need a leggie

^^^ why would he need so many fins overhead perfection day in day out fin setup would be pretty straight forward I would think just sayin

Between 1.5" and 2.75", usually 2" to 2.5".

Sups are for people that can't surf.

I always say to pipefins that surfing is about enjoying riding waves & having a good time.
Doesn't matter what you ride....hand plane or shortboard/longboard/bodyboard/surfmat....or sup
Given that he thinks most of the world is made up of "haters" I haven't found much sympathy for this viewpoint from him

It was the "haters" word that spun me out & made me lose the plot

^^^ Hey Doggie, I got given one of those fcs 3d fins to demo (on a sup) a couple of weeks ago. I found that the tail rocker caused drag (like weed) until I stepped on the tail, then it slipped out forward from under my feet, but as soon as I regained stance, it dragged again...not sure of the purpose of it, maybe good for downwinders on boards with little tail rocker or for speed on steep waves - what's it like on a sb?

It feels like it drags, seemed to hold me up on take offs. I mite try it again soon, I should have used it on Friday but wasnt thinking about fins, I just wanted to get out there on my day off
They (FCS) recon they are good for stability but it didnt seem to affect the board in that way at all.
Maybe the SUP had alot of tail rocker and thats where you were getting the stop start feeling from.
Anyway, you want it? Cheap
