Recent ebay twin fins
There have been a couple of lovely twin fins on ebay . Firstly is this early 80s Tris, probably shaped by Hillsey , keeping a late 70s outline and a spray reminiscent of Rabbit Bartholomew's boards which he brought over to surf at the Foster's pro am. The board was upcountry and obviously hasnt been near the water for years judging by the thick layer of dust ! It should clean up a treat though, revealing channels and a nice pair of star fins. Whoever bought this has a nice board.
And also there was this fully restored Crab Island , 5'8 x 20 , in great condition and with beautiful strong graphics. Crab Island's like this are pretty hard to find , and are also sought after because they were so lovingly made , often with intricate sprays ; plus Welsh rippers like Carwyn Williams used to ride for them.
