Thinkin of switching my 6'1 x 19.125 x 2.5 stretch F4 quad fins setup, currently running FCS Stretch SF4's glassflex fins all around, thinking about buying the FCS TC aqualines for more drive, anyone have exp with the aqualines? If so let me know, thanks.
I’ve used both templates and the Stretch in both glass flex and PC. I liked the Stretch template more, but that’s just me. The aquas seemed too small for my liking. You should get more drive out of some stiffer material than the glass flex, though.
Thanks for the info ghost, ordered a set so ill know soon enough!
I'm 160lbs and I love the Aqualines in better surf. Heaps of drive, loose enough for when you're going Mach 3. Rode them for an entire week in Costa Rica in overhead surf.
aqualines look more like a drivy, down the line barrel fin sort of template
The Aqualines are my favorite tri and quad set of fins. I also used my quad set in costa for a week and loved them. From my everyday beach break to hurricane swells, they have always performed flawlessly.
Just went out on em over the weekend shoulder/head somewhere in between rolling and pitching. The first thing I noticed was the speed I got out of them, and I could dig hard if needed on a bottom turn but could still make sharp turns almost as sharp as the stretch template. These fins performed great that day and I think the stretch's would have been kinda squirrly due to the wave size (although I didn't test). Yet to see how they work in smaller conditions... Would def recommend these fins. Thanks for input everybody stay stoked.
