Transition Snapshot


This is a pic off the internet. I have no idea when, but 1968 would be a good guess. The "where?" is anyone's guess.

There's a lot of story told by this collection of fins...


Fin #1 looks like a molded Hansen box fin, designed by Mike Doyle.

#2 is a W.A.V.E. molded fin...probably a Yater.

#3 is a glass on fiberglass fin from the end of the longboard era. It looks like it has an Island rake...swept way back, for draw on larger waves.

#4 is a Greenough Stage 3 W.A.V.E. fin.

# 5 and #6 are longboard era glass-ons.

#7 could be a Greenough Stage 3, but it looks like it has too much rake. Maybe it's the angle of the board in the photo that distorts the rake angle?
