The Tombstone
The newest addition to the twin fin lineup. While it looks superficially similar to the P-38 and Richard Kenvin's Caspers, it has a lot off different stuff going on, mainly in the rocker. Think skateboard for the water- really pumpable, with a lot of front-to-back weight shift potential. The front end still has a genuine, deep-entry hull, but it's mainly there for wave entry and trim line, rather than to turn off of. Fuller rail volume for a poppy, lively feel. Notice the fins are a lot farther forward- also a new template, with a one-side foil. Both more hold, and more slide potential, depending on how you weight on 'em. More user control, either way. This one pictured is 5'0 X 22 3/4". They don't have to be this small, but you get the idea.
Looks familiar. Sort of. Only took me one try to figure this one out. When i learn how to measure stuff you guys are in trouble. the only thing it's missing is rail handles for parallel stance bottom lacerations.
very interesting.
