Handmade Wood Fins from Pop.
I asked my grandfather to make a set wood of fins. This is what he comes back with. They are even Probox compatible. I was speechless. Then he took me into his wood shop and gave up all of his secrets. Thanks Pop!

023 Finished
I finally got this one done after a couple long nights. With this board I was focusing on light weight. This is a 6’3” round pin thruster at 19 1/2” wide and 2 3/8” thick. It weighs 5 lbs! Thanks to Larry at Probox for the beautiful fins!

024 Shoot
Willi Patton came by over the weekend to shoot a short about my shaping. So I pulled out a shortboard blank I’ve been saving for myslef. He packed my little room with lights and crazy expensive cameras. It was alot of fun. I can’t wait to see the edit.
