A southern California surfer that wiped out and cut his leg on his board’s fin is suing the maker of the board, saying that the fins were too sharp and that the board was “unsafe for its intended use.”  The defendant calls the suit highly unusual, given that it’s the first and only product-liability suit he can remember facing in 20 years.
