	The Evolution of the Surfboard - Sonnen Sloan
		There were a few new experiments in fin design, none of which became socially popular, with the exception of the three fin surfboard (which as you can guess had three fins permanently glassed on) brought to the market in 1981.
		The fin was also easily replaced if it broke or fell off, and economically, the surfer didn't have to buy more than one board.
		Unfortunately, improvements made to the surfboard during the 70's were few, with the exception of general experimentation relating rail curve (3) and the shape of the tail (4).

	Fin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In surfing, a skeg is a stabilizing fin located at the rear of the surfboard.
		Fin is a historical garden in Kashan, Iran.
		Fins have also been used on automobiles of the late 1950's and early 1960's, promoted then as adding aerodynamic stability but now more realistically evaluated as a rather flamboyant style, particularly in American automobiles of this period.

	The Starfin designed by Ben Lexcen and Cheyne Horan
		The keel that Ben Lexcen had designed for Australia II was quite controversial and Ben was an inspiration to me. One day we phoned him up and asked if he was interested in working on a surfboard fin which he must have thought would be a breeze after a boat keel!.
		The STARFIN is a surfboard fin that Ben Lexcen and I designed soon after Australia was victorious in the America's Cup of 1980.
		I felt at the time that twins and singles both had their place but maybe there was room for a big change in surfboard fin design..

	Skeg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In surfing, a skeg is a stabilizing fin located at the rear of the surfboard.
		These provided surfers with the ability to alter the riding characteristics of a surfboard, by changing the size or number of fins used.

	Hesselgrave develops new fins on 'trial & error' wave
		The legendary Tom Blake, who in 1935 was the first to attach a fin to a surfboard, was a mystic loner.
		Fin box innovator Tom Morey, who renamed himself "Y", is a classic mad scientist.

		It is ironic that the guy who had the greatest influence on surfing in the 1960s–who pioneered in-the-tube water photography, created the modern surfboard fin, inspired the shortboard revolution, and broke new ground in surf cinematography–hasn't stood on a surfboard since 1961.
		His vehicle of choice, more often than not, was a canvas air mattress on which he was faster than anyone on a surfboard.
		After his first experiments with water-housings and still photography yielded tremendous results, George developed the cameras, lenses, and mounts to capture movies of surfing in the tubes of incredible waves, as revealed in his groundbreaking first firm, "The Inntermost Limits of Pure Fun" (1970).

	Skeg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In surfing, a skeg is a stabilizing fin located at the rear of the surfboard.
		Without any fins on a surfboard, there is a tendency for the board to side slip and rotate.
		Where a vessel's rudder is mounted on the centreline, it is usual to hang it on gudgeons and pintles, the latter being upright pins and the former, rings to fit round them.

		Descendent of the great American sculptor Horatio Greenough (1805-52), nephew to the great soprano Beverly Sills, son of the heir to a railroad fortune, George was born in Santa Barbara and survived open heart surgery as a boy to be raised in a Montecito mansion.
		For over three decades, Greenough's life was and "endless winter" as he alternated residences between his family home (with its copious workshop areas) and the Byron Bay area.

	The Garage Shaping Paradox - Transworld Business Magazine
		Not prone to the kind of nostalgia often found in the surf industry, Wright says that the era of surfboard innovation that emerged from the garage is in the past, and that the industry should no longer tolerate the kind of competition brought by the backyard shaper.
		In today’s technology-driven industry, it’s often forgotten that the sport’s greatest innovators and innovations originated in garages and backyards--Bob Simmons’ ideas on flow, George Greenough’s raked fin, or the shortboard revolution itself.
		“Name one guy who’s changing surfing from their garage.

	Surfin' the Big Lake
		Besides building the first hollow surfboard, Tom was the first to surf Malibu Beach, plus he designed and added a keel (or fin) to surfboards, wrote the first book on surfing, invented the aluminum rescue torpedo, developed the first sailboard and designed the first waterproof camera.
		Over the next few years, my surfing “Bro” and I lived the Lake Superior version of “Endless Summer.&; Exploring the gentle waves breaking on the sand bars of Park Point, we found that the best places to catch waves were off the canal wall toward the Point and down the road at the Beach Park.
		These same skills apply to surfing Lake Superior’s waves, but with some significant differences.
