An often ignored but often useful place to find out about all the strange surfboard trips that Fineline Surfboards, Brian Hilbers and Kirk Putnam are up to.

2 NEW ORDERS
9'1'' Anaflexia Spoon for Nina.
Bottom
Foil
Deck
Like our SOS model just thinned down quite a bit more.
Flo's 9'0'' PHD Hot Generation
Just like my own 9'0'' HG just a bit more foam for Flo.
Those look like they have more rocker than what you normally do, maybe a little closer to what they were doing with these back then. Is that just distortion from the camera?
Hiya; Some camera, some not: Nina's stick has a definitely stronger, and better wave entry rocker than, say, the SOS. It's a thin board, and needs it. Flo's HG is just "stock" HG rocker- it has always had a deep entry nose rocker... Ask Flo- his 8'4 has the same nose trip. Both of these sleds are essentially tail-turners with a serious mid-board Buzz in the right part of the wave- this makes it a fine ride in slop, but when the Right place shows up, an exceptional ride- but it's still an emphasis on maximum pleasure on minimal wave quality. The best I can say, is that if wave quality improves, I haven't found a top-end for the boards, also. Thanks for asking, BJ
