We at pccboards have been working with Alkali fins in developing the classic foil for the simmons concept. With the design of the simmons requiring the fin close to the tail the need for rake in the fin is mostly non existent, hence the half moon shape of these foils. The fin is the most functional and aesthetically pleasing design our collaboration could come up with. The foil is fin in the tip, rigid in its base, with a hint of inside foil at the leading edge for transitional release.

Enjoy the Alkali PCC mini simmons keel fin.

Hand made surfboardToday we have a unique story on the pictured log, a re build of a 1964 ish surfboard built by George rice in Victoria.

I decided to build this on behalf of team classic surfer Danny Cook. The board has a one off quality for many reasons. The first being the timber stringer, the wood used here was given to me from a good friend who was stripping the exterior of his house, the timber is 40 year old Australian cedar, beautiful to the eye and a joy to work with. The blank was hand shaped from Dion foam, which is about a 4 hour process from go to woe. The glassing was also done by myself. I used the old style cloth that is called volan, which leaves
a green tinge to the glassing, especially on the rail where the layers are doubled over. The pre sanding and finish coat were all my work. For this hands on approach I have labeled this one as being master-built.

The fin is an Australian made Alkali 11 incher, made in Ballina.

Over all a very classic surfboard, as you can see from the images.

I have had the pleasure of watching the Danilama surfing her, one of the joys that I have experienced of late.

SP.
