Thanks for that.
One morning,...Interesting, Paul. Thanks for that. <br /><br />One morning, I was watching Skip Frye find impossible speed on one of his Fish Simmons gliders. Probably an 11-footer with a really parallel outline. He was fading, carving, all the usual stuff. I was riding a similar board and eager to show him my new Frye flex fin, a 9-incher I was running with side bites.<br /><br />“You’ve got waaay too much fin,” he grumbled good-naturedly. <br /><br />When I asked him what he was using, he flipped over his board. The center fin box was empty. All he had back there were these tiny side bites. <br /><br />Humbling stuff.Festus Porkmeyernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289837270278241948.post-72572591491439669162014-05-20T20:11:34.423-07:002014-05-20T20:11:34.423-07:00This was a pretty interesting read.
