Getting there on the ASymm...

ASymm Fin Install

So I'm trying to figure out how to place my fins in the ASymm...After talking to George at Plus One I think I have a plan.

The pics below show the quad side set up as desired at: Front fin - 11 1/2" from tail, 1 1/4" from rail, 1/4" toe-in. Back fin - 5 3/4" from tail, 1 3/4" from rail, 3/16" toe-in.

The keel fin is shown set up as follows: 6" from tail, 1 1/4" from rail, 1/8" toe-in.

After talking with George I think I'm gonna move the keel fin up to about 6 3/4" from tail and keep my other numbers the same...routerto be buzzing as soon as the water surrounding the shed clears...

ASymm REDUX

Finally got a weekend to do my man hobbies. Laminated the bottom of the ASymm and brewed a batch of Black IPA!

Here is a shot of the deck of the ASymm after final shaping.

For the lamination, I thought why not do crazy ass lamination to go along with a crazy ass board. I've always wanted to try a Mexican Blanket look, so I got a half dozen squirt bottles and mixed up 6 different colors. Unfortunately I ended up with more of a rainbow look of primary colors. Next time I will make thinner lines, more colors, and add some black and white lines in between to break up the color a bit.

Here is what I was actually gunning for...

Well, the lamination came out pretty good despite the color not matching...and I'm sure this crazy ass board will draw stares wherever it surfs...
