DIY Surfboard Fins - Fin Friday

Building a set of cedar surfboard fins that can be used as a twin fin or added to another set to use as a quad. It had been awhile since I had made a set of wooden surfboard fins. This was a pair I had already started by creating the fin panel and cutting out the shape. The build of the fin is 1/4" cedar with a leading edge high foil on the outside and a flat foil on the inside. The fin is glassed with epoxy and 6oz fiberglass off cuts from the surfboards I have made. Wave Wasters is about experimenting with design and not actually being wasteful. I try to keep any scraps or materials I can to reuse in future projects.

Fin Friday is a series I will be doing where I build various types of surfboard fins from different materials. Some fins will be experimental and some will be more standard. The fins will be made mostly from wood but I'll try to make some fins more experimental materials to use. Videos are posted on Fridays, might be every Friday or every other, will depend on how much time I've had to film and edit the process.
