By PM demands, I present the Point Concept Bonzer 5 fin by Ryan Lovelace.

-I've only used the board twice so far, so I cannot give a real review. However, this board is not for small slop. Today was HH plus victory-at-sea conditions, and the green hornet RULED it!

If you're thinking about a custom work of art 5 fin, you really need to strongly consider Ryan. Sure Malcolm & Duncan (& their dad) invented the bonzer, but Ryan pays homage to the design with subtle concaves and all homemade fins. Even the center fin was cut & foiled by Ryan for this board! Amazing craftsman & artist. Plus, his turnover time is unreal right now. Thank you Ryan!!! [Perhaps you'd like to chime in on the fins & material used.]

Dims: 6'3" x 18-3/4" x 2-3/8". Lighter than my other bonzers, but not too light for strong surf.

Enjoy:

Funny you should mention that; JP is a friend/acquaintance. Moonlight Glassing does outstanding work, and they are very bonzer friendly. You'll often catch Malcolm &/or Duncan Campbell hanging out there.

JP's father, Peter, started Moonlight Glassing after shaping and glassing with SB's very own Al Merrick years ago. Peter, a pinlining guru, has praised Ryan's work on the Point Concept boards on more than one occasion. Sort of the "Peter Pinliner" stamp of approval, if you will.
