# PINK LADY
Here's my alternative to the Standard 2+1 which was based on power surfing and all round surf. While Koppsy and Dane Peterson were around I shaped a super low rockered, wider outlined, semi hull inspired design.
The Pink Lady set up is more Greenough inspired with a loaded flex tip. Great for middy's and wider fun boards with lower rockers.
Great fun up to 4-5 ft, then the flex tip bucks you off. Less base, but more depth gives more pivot and I place these fins 1 1/2 inches further up the board to the standard 2+1. More suited to front foot surfing.
