Chuck and I have returned from the Surf Expo all super stoked and ready for the sailing season. I'm sure Chuck will have some additional comments to share but one key bit of information I picked up and just thought it couldn't wait, was these neat charts about fins from Curtis/Orca. Go to http://www.gsport.com and go to the fin charts. Download all three of the adobe files and check them out. There is a world of really good guides as to what fins to use with different sail sizes and conditions. (I printed them all out and posted them on my trailor. One other key item is from Hot Sails Maui. I'll go out on a limb and say this new sail concept will rock all of our worlds. I'll also bet nobody can guess what they have came up with in terms of sail material. To make it fun, please post your guess on this bboard and I''l reveal the answer. Winner gets an undisclosed prize, tba. One final word is Hypersonic by Starboard, if you like to go so fast your flesh peels off your bones, jump on one of these, and be sure to say your prayers. More to come.......
