The design remains basically the same although with multi fin choices deviating from the single fin incarnation.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI've shaped up two 6'8\"x22\"x2-3/4\" & two 7'4\"x23\"x3\" respectively. All 100% handshaped, so there are minor differences as any handshape will possess from shape to shape. The blanks were ordered from U.S. Blanks in their new \"2.0\" foam formulation, and I found it a delight to shape. Very fine celled, extremely consistent, and although I've heard others have had problems with the foam tearing while shaping, mine cut like a hot knife thru butter.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll the boards feature a \"Brewer-esque\"  Beak with dropped downrail with \"70's island style\" flat decks, swallow tail stings, single to double barrel concave & vee @ tail.\n\n\n    \n\n\n\n\nImage processing.
