the crooked vulture


this is another of my regular models
"the crooked vulture" this board is a small wave ripper made for tight little turns
 and off the top snaps. it generates amazing speed, and will catch almost anything that breaks,
 hence the "vulture" name... it can live on the scraps that others leave behind 


again all fins are hand made and hand foiled, i've got a thing for matching fin colour to board colour at the moment, its time consuming but they look great, this one is sea foam blue resin pigment layed straight onto the foam with clear glass over the top 4+4oz top and 4oz bottom.
fixed fins add a little more response to an already responsive board
so you can squeeze every last drop out of  a smaller wave


the vulture has a real fast look to it, this one is a custom and has been scaled up for someone in the 85-95 kilo range, but still manages to come in at 5'11 x 20" x 2 1/2" it has a litlle more nose and tail volume to accommodate the extra weight but is still a really fast loose board with low sharp responsive rails


here you can see the bump flyer that narrows the rail line at the tail allowing you to bury the tail easier, it also adds a pivot point for the back foot. the diamond tail also shortens the rail line which again = shorter turns
"the crooked vulture" is a great addition to your quiver ideal for small beachies or smaller days at the point
