The mighty WD Nubster: Marko's ride report.

Recently we sent a Warp Drive Nubster to Marcus. Here's what he said:

The board:
 
'I'm putting the nubster on my 5'8" x 20" 1/2 x 2"1/4 fish.

I surf it as a twinny a lot and love the looseness of it but it sketches out on bottom turns. This should add a bit of grip, and I'm hoping with less drag than a standard thruster fin.

Roy will probably correct me if I'm wrong - but by breaking up the leading edge it allows water to flow over the foil surface without stalling. In a thruster setup, where fins battle each other and cause drag, I'm hoping that will be reduced but maintain a bit of drive in the rear fin. That's the idea anyway. I'll probably try it as a fifth fin in my standard quad setup and see what
happens too."
 


Nubster fun received, looking forward to giving it a blast, thanks Roy.

 

The review:
 
"Righto...so my take on the nubster. Surfed today in 3-5 foot plus surf.

Frickin sweet so far! Super drivey for the size of it, really fast going down the line or straight.

Adjusted to top turning with it by starting the turn a bit earlier - which could have just been Magnet being fat and offshore.

Really noticed that foot placement over it, made a difference, very sensitive to it.

Handled size really well. No squirelliness which I thought it could have had."
