Chippa Wilson Rides A NPJ Duo
And he does it really, really well. This clip has been floating around Instagram in chunks and comes from What Youth?, but in case you haven't seen it here's the full deal. In fact if you have seen it, it's worth watching again- that barrel!
...hello Kirk, I really never understood why to use alternative fin set ups the shapers use retro shapes? I made several boards with different fin combos like single in line, mega twins, boomerang fins, bonzers, etc however all in contemporary (refined) shapes. Fishes are the great example. Is not necessary to have a flat rocker or full rails or beak noses or too thick the nose area (the foil) etc to design alternative boards. Please take these words as a valid point and not as to try to rain over the parade. Imagine one of these very good surfers what can do with a contemporary modern alternative design.
