G'day guys & gals,
just back from a sunday session at south passage, question on the 60mm finns, i found my hammer really grippy, would 50mm help? is this just my poor surfing technique? any advise please

it was a top afternoon

Has anyone stuck small surfboard fins on their Hammer?

Ive got a 138 and wouldn't mind trying a 144. Happy to to do a trial swap if you want.....

LOL
LOL
AR SLAVE YOU HAVENT changed
remember the poles

That's cool Pete, am thinking of putting a 3rd central fin at each end. Where'd you get those fins from btw ?

This is the master for a new fin I've made,
9high, 95mm long, 8mm wide it will come with 2 M5x16mm 316 stainless screws.
I was making them for Mutant and directional boards. They have the same screw width as most 2 hole twin tips. They wont be ready for a couple of weeks yet. If you're interested message me

I also make 40mm & 50mm fins which i can send you a picture of if you want.
A set of my 4 fins costs around the same as 1 of a name brand.
Regards
Paul

Yep that "grippiness" is one of the reasons the Hammer is better than most TT's in the surf. I mainly ride an Underground FLX but also have a 144 hammer that I use if it's very choppy or there is a bit of swell around. (for real swell you can't beat a surfboard IMO)
It always takes a little while to get used to either board if I have been riding the other one a lot, there is a big difference in the way you have to ride them, but when I get used to the Hammer I love throwing it into a fast carving turn as it just hangs on and sends up a huge spray.
Get aggressive with it, as Poida said, put a little bit of weight into it on the turns, particularly on the back foot, jam that rail/tail in hard and hang on.
