put on my green hi-tops and took the morning of st. patrick's day to turn the rails and tune up a practice shape prior to getting back to work sometime next week. tinkered with the shape off and on for the last week or so, mostly having to resort to using my left hand...was able to use the right arm today if i kept it pinned to my side. not bad for a 9 week layoff.
the shape is something i've been wanting to do since i got back on my twin fins late last year...this is a real performance twin for our area...it's not a retro shape in any way...basic high performance short board dimensions tweaked a bit to allow for a heavy front foot drive through your turns but still a controlled cutback off the back foot...less nose (ears) facilitates a more vertical (conventional thruster) attack.
