Re: 3D Fins
Probably the ugliest looking fins I've ever seen Donald.
I guess I get a bit suss when companies go hard in trying to sell fins/ boards etc based on graphics and looks. It's called marketing.
That said proof would be in how they perform not how they look. But they'd want to be pretty good to have those ugly things in my board.
Sorry for the negative comments. Just my opinion.

Re: 3D Fins
Ok ok look I was probably being a bit negative there and judging a book by its cover. We should probably be giving smaller start up companies like 3D fins a bit of a help along in what is a hard game. Also I have not tried em so cany comment on how they perform. So possibly to turn this into a positive we could suggest our own graphic ideas to go on their fins? Could I start by suggesting a My Family Fin graphic for the SUP crew?

Re: 3D Fins
wingnut, dimples have been around for quite a while mate back in the 80s dimple bottom boards where big for a while, you find some boats have dimple bottoms, pridmore has recently experimented in dimple bottoms, the design has merit for sure. I reckon I would love to hear huei or roys thoughts on dimple bottoms as it comes from boats im lead to believe. I think they create a air cushion sort of which makes the bottom slide across the water quicker, but someone please correct me here.
Im not sure how they would go in fins though, that is interesting.

Re: 3D Fins
how fast do you need to be going for dimples to come into action?
