Q. Looking for info. and feedback on my Carabine Single fin that has been converted to a 3 fin. Could this have been done before the Thruster turned up on the scene? Great example of a backyard inovation period surfboard.

A. Yes this was done way before the time of thrusters and even Bonzers which Peter Townend brought to Australia. I seem to remember Patrick or Kevin Parkinson making tri fins in 1970's under the brand cybernaut they were very similar in shape to the modern day thrusters the side fins were more or less semi circular in shape and were smaller than the centre fin which was the conventional shark fin shape these boards were ridden by the Bulli boys and really suited the steep take off at Peggies

A. hey wombat, I reckon there's a chance this improvisation might have been inspired by the recent, though patchy, arrival of californian bonzers from around 1973. Terry Cooper at South Coast Surfboards was building them at that time although they were a lot more complicated with channels and off set fins... Geoff Kater of surfresearch would be keen to know about this beast.
