Kye Fitz’ shows his single fin flair on the north shore

Kye Fitzgerald
is the son of Aussie 70’s legend Sean Davey
Terry Fitzgerald, also known as the Sultan of speed back in the day. Terry was widely respected for his surfing at places like Sunset where speed is an advantage. Like his dad, Kye is also an avid single fin surfer and also has a penchant for big Sunset. He just happens to be visiting at the moment and has brought under his wing a young Sydney lad whom I currently know simply as Max. Like Kye, Max really likes riding the single fins and his style shows, especially for such a young lad. There is so much more style involved in making a single fin perform. Take a look at this picture from today’s session at (frankly) pretty horrible, semi – onshore Rockys. But man, look how hard he’s driving that single fin It does have these tiny little one inch finlets, one on either side and I believe that it is the finlet on the other side of the board which is currently holding him in place. The single fin itself is out of the water.
