Ways to make surfing interesting - take off the fins! Well not just unscrew your fcs and have a spin but try to create something that can rides with control, spin 360s if you want to and give the rider a thrilling sense of living on the edge.
This was the first finless Mark made "the Caddy" with 5 spines protruding out of the tail. A freaky looking thing that has some reinforcing on the deck to stop the spines from overflexing. Even paddling these feel different. The key to a successful take off is to make sure you drop straight to the bottom, if you try to go on the angle it wont get purchase. Drop down and do a bottom turn, planting your back foot with a little extra attention than normal and you are on your way!
