Best of luck on the operation and hopefully the recovery is quick.

Happy, really enjoying it. It has a large wave range and not that wide for a fish. Had a few fish before but hadn’t gelled with them as they were hard to turn as Clay has said.

I was starting to find hpsb a struggle these days. Now I’m older ( 60’s) stiffer and of course slower means that they only work for me on odd occasions. Does not help that I’m on the most of the time gutless waves of the south coast. This is the fish I’m currently enjoying. Would love to hear your opinion on it.

You can set up as a two + 1 like Haydn but the fin box’s are usually in the wrong place to run as a twin.

Quad are good for generating speed, making it good in small waves, the quad fins also allow for quick, sharp turns, similar to a twin but with added control. Does have more drag than a twin because of the extra fins.

Nice quiver.

4th from the left looks quite like the modern keel fish I’m currently enjoying. Is it your version of a keel fish?

Hi Haydn, hasn’t worked on my old Mac for a few months. 10.13.6. Safari 13.1.2. Had been limping along for a while before that!

Definitely. It brings home the reality of how lucky you are compared to others.

Nice waves , and a interesting story.

On the south coast of England it’s often windy. Often it can be a 35-40mph wind and you seek shelter under cliffs, etc. where you can get good, clean, sizeable waves.

There’s also some breaks than can take a strong, cross on wind although these usually require a lot of Paddling!

Straight onshore strong winds are the only ones that produce no rideable waves for us.
