Fins

Post by lovenutz » Thu Aug 12, 2010 3:06 pm

Just trying to learn a bit more about fins. Usually never really pay any attention but been screwing around with fins and feeling so much difference. Like to get some opinions

What are your favourtie fins fcs/futures for:

1. Fun performance beach break type waves ie d-bah, cangu, trestles

2. Dog shiit waves Manly, Bondi, Huntington, trigg, newport

3. Medium hollow waves HT's, G-Land, Kirra, desserts and tube focus waves

4. Big hollow waves ie Pipe, Puerto, redsands, northpoint, voodoo etc


For me weighing 73 kg 5'9

1 and 2 i like the blackstix futures f4 and FCS AM2 orange Hexalite

3. Futures EA blackstix and the FCS AM1

4. Not really sure...I find one of my problems with my surfing in big waves on my forehand is under the lip drops to a quick sharp bottom turn in the tube and steep angled take offs. backside i find ok.
When its over 6 foot I find this tough
Any fins recommendations to help with this?
