ahhh'' fellas i have just seen this havnt been over for a while good thread :)

i have been puting them in boards prbly 4 yrs mainly thrusters
the new under glass instalation is nice to work very strong
mark is right the average surfer prbly dont need to be changing and fooling around
but it is the least likely to fail off all the systems 8) they have agood selection of fins.

salty that is the one thing that we have found out that with so much pressure on the base of a keel type fin one tab is hard to deal with my son has an identical to that quad fins glassed on loves it
no lose fins either :D besides huie fucked those fins with weak tabs so lets kick his arse
so from know on well glass the fkers on :roll:

thanks guys its all good

cheers huie

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

I know Jed at Bushrat is using the 4WFS fins systems, I like his his boards and he is prepared to experiment.

I'm planning a serious venturi effect channels model which I'll get Jed to shape. Soon! :D
Jaffa, I'm opinionated, and I'm sometimes right. So?

Im the lazy type of surfer as i explained to mark at board testing day, i dont like to muck around to much with fins as if yourve got something that works why fix what aint broken. But I must admit this system has got me interested for sure, with the ability to change toe in, and cant, possiblities, mmmmmmmmmmm, certianly worth looking at for sure.

Looking forward to fongs feedback on his board with this fin system once he gets to try the board in decent conditions, but that wont be for a while now, cause ledge is back in town real soon

Huie, where do you get them from? Birthday soon, and i think i'll get the stuff needed to glass the egg. More than likely keep the egg as a single, but next board ( possibly simms ) i might use them. These sound interesting.

Huie, how've you been going with the flexy quad fins experiment?

I've always found extra rake on quad fins a problem, what have you been finding?

I've never found M5's to go well in any of the quads I've owned. Similarly with M3's with the exception of the Swinger, seeing as its such a loose and pivotal rocker and planshape already the M3's work well.

Any other quad I've always found upright fins with less rake to work a lot better, such as the original KFin, SF4, MR-TFX, etc.

Hows the flexy experiment going for you?
