The Pheonix Twin Fins
Summer moves on...Small swell cometh...The North wind rips down in to the Algarve threatening to blow us all to Africa. Thats how it feels here in this windy pocket of Western civilization. As most people, I wish I had more time to...Surf surf surf..
Short and sweet...or not so sweet...which is the real mood I'm in. But hell, its not about my moods, its about these boards. I have here 2 twin fishes. I call them the Phoenix Fish series. They are not identical, but they are twins none the less. Born in the same time period which was January 2016. These babies were my winter's work, and they took a solid couple months to finish as life sometimes has other plans for us. Anyhow, both have hand made and glassed in bamboo fins. They are both 5'10, while the red Pheonix is a more bulbous and voluminous 21 wide. The Green Phoenix is 20 1/2 with a slimer and more agile figure. She is a built with a bit more performance and speed in mind with a flatter bottom moving to vee out the tail. The red Phoenix fish has a rounded belly to vee on the tail as well, but everything is more pronounced and fleshy.
They are a couple of special boards. I imagine they will shine in small to overhead surf. I have been tempting to but have abstained from whetting the fins of these twinnies....however, I reckon I am not going to be able to hold out much longer. My shack is filling up quickly so if anyone is interested in taking one of these beauties off my hands...say the word. Peace and love...
