Even a fin bitch like me has to admit this is pure marketing for suckers.

True.
Do shapers/surfers actually put any input into any of the fcs range (apart from when they took pre-existing templates like MRs), or just say, yeh that looks good to me no worries while awaiting the royalties.
Like CC has a 5 fin set at captain fin that is a completely different template.
I’ve got a set of Shapers Quad Keels that are basically the superseded DVS Quads as far as I can see. They put out a new DVS Set that were a bit more extreme.

Anyway, big, big problem upcoming for this swell.

Mon could be clean and massive- 8-10ft.

1.71m high tide at 10am will make rocking off a nightmare.

The Christenson fins are a wank, but those and the Aipa volan ones often go on deep specials here for less than the Greenough etc in similar templates.

Even early morning you're going to be in the phase of rapid tidal influx- it may be better then, or it maybe worse if low tide jump-off spots are already flooded with massive surges.

Right on top maybe safer if you are confident in jumping from top rocks on massive set wave surges.

Hey Steve, how's it going? I've been keeping abreast of your reports. Nice work, but I prefer them when you forecast good surf, so more of that, please.

Yeah, we've been admiring these angry kick-outs from a safe distance.

What's involved?
