If you, or any other attendees of the upcoming workshop in San Diego, would like to get an existing board routed for the twinfin setup, I'll bring my equipment to do the routing. Probably be able to do two, or possibly three boards. The report of your experience has stirred quite a bit of interest in the setup.
I would be very interested in doing that. I am getting a single fin glassed this coming week and if you are willing I will bring it to the work shop so we can do that.
Considering will how long it takes to lay out and rout out two additional fin boxes, plus the risk if weekining the tail, it would be easier to fabricate a double fin that would fit into an existing single fin box. There would be issues with respect to their connection, but with a little thought and some R and D it could be done.
Surfifty,
The two boxes are routed in with only one router plate, set down one time, that allows both slots to be routed. So, there is no more time consumed, than setting up for a single fin. I explored the idea of a double fin, as you suggest, and considered the effort and expense, to far outweigh the benefit.. You would end up with something similar to the Velzy Butterfly Fin, in any event. Not what I was after. I do not believe the tail of a board is weakened by setting two boxes, or retrofitting two extra boxes, in an existing board.
You seem to have broken my longboard when you routed those two fin boxes in to it.
Now when I surf this board it goes way too fast and turns with an abbreviated radius that causes large amounts of spray that disturb the local seals and gulls.
Do you think that if I dragged a bucket off my leash loop it might make it ride like it used to?
I just logged a few hours of the most phenomenal birthday surf at a right point setup with just myself and one friend..this board made a great session totally phenomenal...I can't believe the feel of this setup compared to the singles I've riddin in this board.
First wave comes...big outside set...hadn't really surfed this thing in anything over waist high and wasn't sure how the fin positioning was going to be. Paddle in, pop up and lean in to the bottom turn and the afterburners kick in!
Thanks again to you and David for all your help getting this thing setup for me.
Afoaf,

I'm thinking that someone else should get the opportunity to get the setup on one of their *known* boards.
That being said, if no one bites, I swear I will shape a board for the sole purpose of having you sink the boxes in to it!
Is Hermattan Beach where the hermaphrodites live?
want to check under the hood, sailor?
Thanks, but no thanks.
You got the wrong site.
The Gay Sway's is thru the San Francisco server or you can check the Sydney one too.
Hope that helps.
Got Mik?
How dare you lump the two together!?
That's insulting to San Franciscans...
