[ Retro Single Fin ]
The
Single Fin was the original short board design. During the first
decade of the short board revolution the vast majority of all designs
were single fins. Rare exceptions would be Single fins with small
rail bites, Fish with keel fins, and Twin Fins. Rockers, profiles,
outlines, bottom contours, and rails varied by the design and the
shaper, but they all had one fin. Applying contemporary design
elements to this traditional design yields a bitchn specialty
board. Design features - Rocker: Low Speed Box, Low
Continuous, or Low Relaxed. Profile: Moderate foil with
adequate volume. Outline: Any of the contemporary shortboard
tail configurations. Bottom Contours: Classic early single fin
bottom featuring vee or tri plane entry to tri plane wide point to
panel vee wide point to tail. Or classic contemporary shortboard
featuring vee entry to single concave wide point to single or double
concave from wide point to tail. Deck & Rails: Flat or crowned
deck. Moderately full rail with foiled rail profile for control for
bigger surfers. Lower moderately thinner rail for smaller
surfers. |
