I'll get the rasta's, but i hate buying fins - never get it right and always think i need different sets. That's why i like NPJ's glass ons.

I just had a chat to Gary, he reckons a cv2 for what I want and similar dims to my tt... gonna put an order in!

What quad set you guys use in your cv2--- futures??

Fark, need to sell some boards.
Hey derailed, what was the reasoning behind Gary s recommendation of a cv2 rather than an entity?

My cv2 is similiar dims to my tt (it's actually a bit smaller).

Yep, mine are all futures. I have the most expensive set of fins in the world, elevons, they're good tho really frickin good

I told Gary i wanted something between the 2-5ft average beachie range as I already have a step up board for anything bigher snd he thought the CV2 was a better option than the entity..

Hoping its the right choice... Am sure it will work out alright...

Just gotta deceide what fins after being on the quartet for a while.. Thinking the rastas... Want something about 3/4 as big and drivey...

Yeah mate, that's my quiver. The cv2 will handle 2-5ft no dramas, rasta rides a 5'7 in quite sizey waves in that dvd released last year (I can't remember the name of it but it was a freebie with tracks mag).

My cv2 has a Spock tail which is basically a rounded square with a shallow swallow, best of both worlds really. Smoothness of a rounded square with a bit of bite through the final phase of turns. Either will be fine but I wanted something a bit different & it gives me a bit of surface area.....mine is only about 5'8!

Just had a chat with Gary and he reccommended Scarfini fins - any of you gents tried them??

Got a couple, Loof

Twinnie set I haven't used and some quad rears that I use as sides on a 2+1. Quality as good as any other manufacturer. Mine came via Mick Pierce - a guy who does not compromise on quality. Here's proof https://instagram.com/easternlight/

Thanks Swiv.

Not sure about my aipas on the TT, I like em when I have set my rail a got some momentum..... The trouble I am having is on the take off I find they slide out a bit and I am not getting that initial bite to get the board going when its slightly suckier....
