glassed on fins

then put in the fin rope at the base, and then a full piece of cloth on both sides of the fin, extending onto the board by about 2 inches, and then a smaller oval piece of cloth that went up the fin about two inches and down onto the board about two inches. as you can tell, it'll take a lot of cleaning up/sanding to get these looking remotely good...

rear end

more dimensions than you think here in setting them. back ends of fins are 7 1/4" from the back tips fo the board, back ends of fins are 1.25" from the rail. the front end of the fins are toe'd in 1/4", adn the fins are at canted at 4 degrees. set them in place with a bit of resin on the bottom and taped them securely there to dry for about an hour or so

glassed on my fins last night. once again, somethign that didn't seem that hard, ended up being hard. or just more time consuming than i thought, but oh well. it was also a bit trickier, but they turned out good, i'll just have to sand down the edges and stuff a bit.
