Its raining and dark outside, yet RJ wants to get on the lake now. His new SMED Wombat came in and it is cool. It not only looks cool, but our old Wombat was a twin fin. This is a quad fin. On top of that, this is a 4wfs quad fin which allows all kinds of adjustment.

Matt also sent us extra fins and tips to try for setups. We are stoked. Here are the pics.

Its hard to see, but below the standard traction is this thin film over the entire board for extra traction. Don't remember what it is called. Sure surfdad knows. It feels kinda like sand paper.

Close up of the fin mount locations and how they work. RJ loves the "for RJ" on the board.

Here are the five sets of fins we got, plus an extra fin insert.

The one on the left is my favorite. Its a 1996 Taylor 912ce with cindy inlays, and custom wider neck. It plays beautifully.

I don't think he normally does that, he is experimenting with the 4wfs system and I said I would pay a bit extra to get the opportunity.

Here is a quick video of RJ excited about the board, and then a cool water shot we took. I got a sport water housing for my sony hd camcorder. Here is a still frame also.
