Stringerless Stubbie
Dan Partch just sent over some hand-foiled marine-ply side bites for my newest stringerless project, a 5'9" stubbie 2+1. I've been really stoked lately on sub-6' stubs with spiral vee for navigating around various nugs here in Ocean Beach. Chuck Ames is in the process of making some special 7" volan L-flex fins for Mandala, which should be ready around the time this board's ready to surf...

Hey Mani, can you explain in what consists a spiral vee?
Thanks
Spiral vee is a double concave through a vee panel. With my concave stubs, I like to have a single concave running into spiral vee. With the single concave under your front foot you can surf it like a shortboard, and the vee in the tail allows the board to set up into cutbacks with a natural feel. The concave through the vee keeps water attached and channeling through the fin cluster. This concave set-up results in a board that allows for maximum rider input...quite the opposite of a hull.
Mani-
Is this concave in the 2 + 1 stubbies you currently have at Mollusk NYC. I am picking up the 5'11" that was sent around the end of oct.
Thanks
