OUCH!


I remember this board from the early 80's. I was during a time of experimentation when surfboard companies were trying to find out how many fins would work best on a surfboard. I believe it was Buttons who took the board out and kept breaking fins off with his bare hands until he started being able to control the board. I can't remember when "real" surfing started, but I sure wouldn't want to get hit by that board.

Lets see...
Your first board in Oregon had one fin. The next one, five. The next two boards, three. And the latest, four.
Looks like you need a twin fin, just to cover all your bases.

I'm looking forward to seeing you breaking fins off your quad with your hands out in the lineup.
