if it ain’t broke, mess with it

before

after –

inspired by the Octafish sans wing.

too much tail feeling on the knull. it was a design flaw on my end. so I decided to jigsaw a squash tail first. too wide. so I cut a swallow.

with the fin cluster closer to standard, and the double concaves with vee still runnin out the back, it is my hope that this thing will be more versatile. there is a decrease in volume in the tail and the fin is closer to the rear for back footed turns.

everyone needs a funshape.
