Just wondering what systems people like . Its excellent to be able to change the fins around .
I use futures at the moment and have used fcs before I find the longer base inside the board gives less movement of the fins when applying the pressure, fcs has movement where the fin meets the box…are there any other good systems out there?.what are most people using and why?..aloha
Saw e latest FCS fins system on Kelly Slater board in Bali last week , board was send to my friend shop for ding repair . Big plug on surfboard n a smaller plug connect the fin n plug . Is a double plug system , should have take pic to share . Is really hard to explain … sorry for my english .
Think Kelly is one of e very few pro who are still using FCS , most of the pros are using future n speed fin system . I saw Malloy , Ross , Conan , Jamie , Irons n hawaiian Dahui team boards at e same shop too .
Probox Hawaii - www.proboxhawaii.com - adjustable fore/aft and cant. supposedly very easy to install (download video off site)- easy to make your own fins + they sell blanks - easy modification to use Futures - and will accept FCS as they are. Got this on my fish - Futures on my reg board
Futures is by far the dominant choice around here, the local rep is good, and very easy to install.
If you want stiff bond from fin to board, RedX is best, Lokbox is quite good, even FCS is pretty good if they are installed according to the manual (which actually happens sometimes).
I use my own system which I make myself for now…check this thread if interested…
Pand: howzat website again? I tried speeedfins.com (the way you wrote it), and it redirects to saltwaterdreams.com - they got fins on tht site, but futures, redx, fcs, etc. no speeedfins or speedfins
