The fact that you did exactly the same thing with the fin templates and came up with an updated twin fin template added a nice component to the whole excercise. Thanks for the fin template by the way, I am looking forward to using it again! Also I think the sprayjob just topped the whole excercise off. Stoked your diggin it mate. See you next board building stint.
