Stubbies
I had many requests for shorter versions of these designs by those who wanted again
to push the limits of the concept. The previous single fin versions in the late sixties
early seventies were to severe in several aspects for average condtions: too much "hull"
forward, too large of a glassed on fin with inability to adjust the fin etc.
These new versions have been much more successful with the modified "hull", the
adjustable fin system and the addition of the small adjustable side runners.
The design should also accomodate a single fin approach by using a deeper flex fin and or
deeper flex fin with a bit wider base.
These are still extreme templates in my opinion and as with the other plan shapes must
be utilized in the appropriate type of surf: small point surf with some power is of course
ideal but because of their shorter length: 5'10" to about 6'4" they are more adaptable
to other condtions.
