Collection: Gen 2 Keel

This user-friendly update to the classic fish outline has had some incredible results for my customers and teamriders. The Gen 2 Keel is a half inch wider than my SD Keel Fin except for the tail block—which is ½” narrower. Narrowing the tail block added a bunch of curve behind the fins, which loosened up the overall performance characteristics and made it much easier than most fish on your backhand.
GLASSING SCHEDULE: 6 oz. + 4 oz. deck, 6 oz. bottom.
FINS: Twin 8” x 5” wooden keels, double sided foil, straight back template.
ROCKER: Low nose entry, relaxed through the tail.
RAIL: Fish style: Down rail throughout—softened from nose toward tail, back third hard edged.
BOTTOM CONTOURS: Flat bottom with a slight single concave running through the fin area.
TYPE OF WAVES: Hollow reefs and long pointbreaks, optimal in head high and up to a few feet overhead.
