Re: Gary McNeill
Sea sheps will sort out your slide issue & give u heaps of drive, they re pricey but a great fin. I use them in my lil cv1 & they work a treat

Re: Gary McNeill

Re: Gary McNeill
I got glass ons with my keel fish for that reason. Total mind fkukk swapping and changing fins huh?.
Re: Gary McNeill
Yeah i hear all of your fin pain. However, sometimes it's cheaper to buy another set of fins than sell your board & buy a new one. I wasn't overly fussed on my quartet, it had potential but it also had glass on fins!Davros wrote:How bout those Elevons Jam..300 RRP.....bullet proof kevlar though
My drama was my cv2 turned out smaller than I anticipated, I had fins for my weight but I found that the reduced rail line and narrower tail made it harder for me to drive down the line & make sections. The board was plenty loose enough & felt great so I figured that the elevons would solve the problem & work in future boards. For example I ve used my sea sheps in 2 boards now.
Re: the cost, haggle, if u can't get 20% off shop around.
Re: the elevons, a guy had a baked potato & reckoned the fins were amazing, Batoes told me about a guy who he met & raved about them so I asked Gary what he thought they would add to the cv2. I can def feel that they add a bit of zip, they add a heap of drive and hold, but because you re going pretty quick (cv2 is naturally fast) they are not stiff. They pretty much get rid of any slide though.
Not sure how they go in slop because I don't ride my cv2 in sloppy conditions.
I reckon they re a great fin which I ll use for years, therefore, I am hoping the $240 will actually prove value for money

Re: Gary McNeill
I had some aipa twins, sick fins, only sold them because they were probox and I got rid of my probox'd board
Re: Gary McNeill
No fault with the fins... Just me

Re: Gary McNeill
All the reviews are 5 star for those fins so money well spent. I agree in any event I am spending the same on a bonzer set up and if the fins and haven't blinked, just the way it is.
Maybe some cheapies from OS

That's actually a positive sign derailed, I ve often heard folk complaining that they struggle surfing fish on their backhand.Drailed wrote:I hear you Jam. Its weird, on my backhand I dig my rail

Re: Gary McNeill
I do on my keel fish. 80% I'm average to ok. When you do put it together it's a thing of beauty though. Love surfing my fish and though I don't think they're easy to surf well, it's worth it when you're in good form and get some half decent waves. They suck at grovelling IMHO, I reckon they go better in fast moving steeper waves.
