Boards with 10 fins
Today's Manly Daily has photos of a Dee Why guy (zigfin.com) who has designed a board with 10 "microfins", about half the size of standard fins. He claims increased manoeuvrability, speed and stability.
The first two are intuitive but I would expect the board to be "looser" in handling.
Then again the only way to find out is to try one. It does look interesting. Maybe my next board.
Anyone on Realsurf tried them?

Chris, mate it seems that it is a normal 5 fin set up, the guy just put single tab smaller fins in each plug.

Re: Boards with 10 fins
what I would like to know is why the Manly Daily ran such a massive commercial plug for the thing.
It was incredible, "riding a wave of success" etc, then explicit instructions on how to buy it, where to go, online, etc
what was that all about?

Cash for comment?
What's the difference between Elizabeth Warren & Kamala Harris?
One's pretending to be an Indian & the others pretending she isn't!

Well-placed comment coming hot on the heels of a photo of a surfer who acquired a temporary new arsehole after a misadventure a few years back.

Imagine a set-up with 10 of Roy's cheese graters! I bet that board would have to be worth $2m.

Re: Boards with 10 fins
Lots of tiny fins does make some sense, i'm not going there though, not this week anyway.
