In this episode of All Yew, Ryan Burch (6 foot 2 inches tall) makes himself a 5’4″ pink fish from polyurethane foam and fiber glass. Combining a traditional outline and self-made wooden keel fins with a concave deck and bottom, thinly tapered rails and more rocker than most fishes, Burch blurs the line between “retro and futuristic.”

what type of wood do u use to make fins?
May 4th, 2011
@Kyle- birch marine plywood 1/4 inch is what i use. but any marine ply will work 1/2 if you’re making a longboard fin..

June 29th, 2011
No, it does not really matter what kind of wood. But remember, the lighter the better. Pine is always cheap and easy. And I don’t believe Ryan glassed that one himself…
