Amazing historical and modern fin-factory images from Larry's archive.  I'm totally subscribing to this one!

And if that weren't enough...

A big mahalo to Larry for featuring one of my boards (equipped with probox, of course) on the proboxhawaii.com gallery.

Hi Jarrod, You are welcome! But don't forget Robin, the website wouldn't be what it is without Robin's passion and support. Mahalo, Larry

I've been there Kit.
Way to much information for my little brain to absorb.
I think the most amazing thing with Larry's place is, everything is done by hand!
I even got to watch a guy pouring the foam for the Power Pads!
It was VERY cool !

I got a tour last week.  Larry could literally write the box on the fin and fin system industry.  In business since 1971, he's seen it all.  What I like is that despite all those years doing the "same" thing, there were experiments of all kinds being tested out, different materials and some of the wildest foils I've ever seen.  A real nice guy to boot.  Thanks for the tour Larry.
