Props to both Marlin and Danny.
ReplyDeleteMy new board has been ordered with Marlin's glass-on bamboo fins and I can't wait.
Waves to ya,
Lamont

Oh Lordy!!! I thought that my surfing hit new levels when I got my Hess... and it did not have the 101 fins. I think that would almost be "too much stuff"!

How much is the wood board ?
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of fins are they? Bamboo? Fit Futures? thanks for the pics!
ReplyDeleteThe Hess boards are up to about $1300 these days. Mollusk sells some for that much. Custom might be the same. Sounds like a lot more but the performance and durability (No pressure dents at all) make it worth it. I have a 6 ft Hess Pacheco Fish Quad that is insane. I heard its about 12 month wait on a board now.

I have Futures on my Hess. Didn't think that 101 made any fins in anything but glass ons or LoxBox. I have a couple sets of Rainbow Fin Co quads.
