Myself also, I use it in my dad’s 9’1" and it feels good too. just loving the fibreglass over polycarbornate mushyness as chip would say. (he’s right too)
I agree NO power from polycarbonate. I had some concurns about using a big fin because the polycarbonate led me to belive i had no power… it was the fin.
“they give you back what you put in”
Yes! i agree with that too. I used to go for a turn and end up “off target” but with the good fin its perfectly projected turns.
Cheers Lee!
…probably the same reason my cutties were a little off before.
Anyone know a good source for those kind of fins, preferably online and resonable priced? They used to have maish fins here in a local surfshop, but they were about $90 + the owner packed the shop and moved to South Africa…
Chip, before glass fins, they were wood, covered with fiberglass. The superior fin in my opinion. Plastic fins are injection molded, and cheap to produce in volume. Almost NO labor cost, higher profit! The fiberglass fin also requires (some) skill to produce. I haven’t forgotten the pics I promised you. Been sick through the holidays. I’ll be sending you some pics of some individual fins, that you will enjoy.
