Making a fin template for Matts Paipo Board.
Fin template inspired by the Campbell brothers Bonzer surfboards .
These shots were taken of me when I was 20 my first proper longboard single fin,purchased second hand from Jon the Hairdresser and locally shaped by John Greene at Hot Rocks surf shop.
Named “the breakfast club special”
Previously to riding this board I had an 7ft tri fin egg (very fast) and a 9ft6 pop out (out of control on that one)
and several body boards.
These shots were of an East swell wintertime Bournemouth Pier,

I have attached photos of my Bonzer 7.0 Trueames Fin that was damaged.. . I repaired and re-profiled this to my requirements – I wanted a fin that was quicker to turn with a bit more flex.
