FINS, FINS, FINS

Im workin on some new stuff and took out my templates that I have collected over the years.


A stash of Liddles fins ready for new boards and for any one who needs a fin.


Always been into my fins since I started surfing, pig skulls off Santa Cruz that watch out for guys who want to THUMB flex test my stash.



A nice keeper from Santa Barbara days from the hands of Jay Foley, Jay did these custom in the 70s and learned from Greenough how to foil fins , Jay was a good guy , always wonder what happened to him.
