A trio of singlefins

A quiver of eight footers in EPS.

'Ace of Diamonds' 
Inspired by early 80's singles of the double ended type, Ace of Diamonds is an up sized version of a favourite singlefin which I had custom made by Roly Stanley in Piha during 1987. I'd spotted a good looking thruster in the corner of his shaping  shack and commented that it would make a nice singlefin... Roly replied that it  was originally one of his single fin shapes, and the game was afoot.

'Ace of Hearts'
A reincarnated blend of  all the wonderful narrow tailed pintailed 70's singles which I rode through the 70's, 80's and 90's. Ace of Hearts is wider and thinner than the originals, with an improved low volume constant rail profile.

Earl
Here we have taken the mighty wooden Earl 10'6" and scaled it down, while keeping 70 litres of volume in a modest 2.75" thickness.
