Single fin surfing
I bet that board goes like a bat out of hell Seeka.
The main problem with 70's single fins was that they were often under finned or had badly foiled fins.
Also, singleins benefit from greater length as they use the rail more.

mister1 put some info a few posts back. have a look. interesting read.
what gets me about your stick seeka is the thickness. is there any reasoning behind it? seems a little thin.

yeah good read, but not a s deck tho. the light is weird on that pic, statik thought it looked like a down tail rocker, so dunnu why it looks that way. here's a better pic...
just cutting back on weight Dunga.
it's quite a strong construction., so should be fine.

Yes it is right.
I found it most beneficial to grind off the typical poorly foiled singlefins and replace them with slightly larger well foiled ones which I'd buy from Wayne Parkes.
Regarding length very short singles cam't handle size as well as multi finned boards of the same length, you should know that.

i had that 6'0 single you made me out in easy over head to 2xOHand she handled really well. except on my third wave were she skipped a lil on the bottom turbn so i learnt to alter my lines.
personally, anythin over 10ft is too much board. you may as well take out a dinghy in the surf.

I used to ride a 10'4" single pitail in bigger waves .It skipped on the bottom too.so u c longer boards with a single fins are no good at all on bigger waves.
So take that and put it in you pipe and smoke it too Roy.

I wasn't really talking about longboards, and yes 6 foot singles can handle DOH nevertheless a few more inches in length can help a lot with singles... look at some of the waves being ridden at pipeline on sub 6 foot multi finned boards there's no way that singles under 6 feet would do as well, but get them up towards 7 feet and it gets better.

and that is how you hulk smash. Battery take note.
pipefins, log off you're embarrassing yourself. Carve a tissue and show some respect.
what i was really askin bc was in regards to pipefins want to market his fins on this site. i thought there were rules regarding that. please correct me if im wrong.
btw, i took the seasons beast out for a blat last night. ive decided to put the biters in.
well roy does it so I don't care. what I do care about is his lack of humility and respect towards others and his constant propaganda about how wonderful pipefins are. He also calls me a mud flapper and that does not wash with me at all.

yeah, sorta. bit too lose in the tail but thats just how it is with twinnies. found it paddles really well specially for its size.
no offense to the old boys clubs but i cant wait for some of em to pass on. be good to watch their kids sell their 'stock' for fark all. specially if they dont surf. it rips me to shreds knowin that these guys hardly ride these gems. it rips me even more knowin that these treasures will probly never see water again.
wall hangers they say, get a farken picture of it you muppets!!!!
too true Dunga
nothing like finding a rubbish heap condition classic single and fixing it and hitting the water
