Hi Joel,
Loving the look of your boards mate. I’ve been thinking of getting a single fin log for a cruiser when the waves are small for a while. Having been a shortboarder rather than a longboarder I would love some advice. From what I can gather I’m after something in the 9’4″ to 9’6″ area to be able to ride the nose. How much is a custom worth and is there much difference for colour? Loving that resign dye stuff!
Cheers, Andrew
