While there is so much 'claiming' of inventions in surfboard design going on out there in the media and hero's claiming revolutions, bottom outlines, fin setups and things i thought i would get in there and claim something for myself.

I invented the twin fin in 1967, when i knocked one of my thruster fins out.

That could have been a bit hard seeing as Simon invented the thruster in the 80's

hey Stred 1965 twin fin huh, ok maybe i didnt invent it then.

3 fins: nah i looked at three fins (mid 1960's) but dont really like the way they make you surf. They are fun to stand on the tail and do lots of turns, but i was working on a design that accelerates from the middle of the board and had retractable side fins with a finely foiled centre fin.

Today, well I dont surf much anymore.

Seal: what is a thruster? (havent heard of this term before)
