OK boys, I'm getting a Sumo.
Which shade of Blue should I go for? 
I think I will go for a 7'10. I actually really like the glide that the longer boards give you.
I have 3 options;
- Sunset
- Blue Hawaii
- Royal Blue Deck, and Light Blue Inlay on the bottom, and fin patch.
Decal will be "Rincon '68", not Sumo. Should I go for Splayed Stringers?

Here's Sunset... But maybe 1 foot of Red at "Rear End", and 1/2 foot of orangey-yellow, and in bleed tints.
 |
|
|
Splayed stringers and the corio bay Navy Blue with milk or white hoops  |
|
|
Splayed stringers... Suited to square tails?
 |
|
|
Splayed stringer for sure....
This looks good 2 IMO

go the triple stringer to break the tail up a little
|
|
|
I love this tint more SP!

If you go a splayed stringer, maybe start close together in the tail and run them out a few inches from the nose, saw a outer islands like this and it looked cool, Ill try and find a photo.

Blue Hawaii Tints...
 |
|
|
One thing is for sure...
"Boobie Cut" on the Fin Patch. My Gun has Boobie Cut, but my Egg has Straight Cut!!
Classic!
Probably better described as Bikini Cut! |
|
|
Outer Islands usually splays the tail. So no stringer through the tail, as a flex tail...
|
|
|
too many choices grom man i like sp idea with the stringer. also you could not go wrong with any of those colour combos as a tint...go completley different and get it in a fabric inlay |

I know what you mean, like this 
But no, they went the other way, wider in the nose, maybe the blank was flipped.
I like the Keyo tint, was that yours?

I've always like the fabric wrap on this board, the board I rode when I beat Mac in the 9'6 Single Fin World Championships!
Mine;
Mac rode this beauty!
The Black Stripe - we also called it "The Sunset Eclipse". |
|
|
SP - yep, that's my Keyo. Still have that lovely board too.
|
|
|
|
Blue girl in the first pic is still there too btw |
|
|
I'm a red white and black fan,Simondo likes his blue,they all look sweet.
|
|
|
Mac, Red White and Black, that is Sunset Eclipse! Get it, black represents the eclipse!

Poor old asea sells the best boards he will ever own,the man has issues
|
|
|
|
|

Good calls from Pup & Mac!
Also, Asea's EvoII is going strong! I love it!
I've said this before... if I ever snap it, I'll order another one the minute I get home! OK, it might take me 30 minutes to decide on the tints. But it's an automatic re-order! Doubt I will snap it, but there's some power in the waves down here... You never know.

ouch, most of mine have been custom, but yeah true for most

Forget the ****y tints and go Volane with a very light green tint in the mix. Looks amazing...... |
