my fins hum at i'm guessing low speeds , [since i'm riding small gutless beachbreaks at present ] , going on what the other ben said earlier
fin hum at low speeds ....is that not strange ??
thanks greg , i thought the same , originally ....but, all the fcs fins of mine that have hummed have very thin and sharp trailing edges , unfortunately ......
but, the more ideas are thrown into the mix here , by a process of elimination / ?illumination? , hopefully we might be able to hit on a solution ?
otherwise , i suppose we all will have to get used to occassionally riding a set of humming fins ?? ....i just feel as though the board / fins are going slower / ?slowing down the board?? when there is humming happening , does anyone else feel / experience this or is it just me ??
i need to add that i am using these different fins that hum , in both commercial board's [eg: moonie's walden , and my island and cooloola and gunteher rohn boards , as well as my home made stub , and fish , and singley
so , i guess it's the fins more than the boards , or the plug distances not being an issue as red boards thought ....
please keep the feedback coming guys , perhaps we can monitor here WHICH of the fcs and other commercial fins hum more than others / what boards they were used in , and [?possibly?] how fast were we going at the time of humming [not to make this a gps thread though , please ?!]
it would be nice to get to the bottom of this ....[otherwise it could end up a hull of a problem eh ?]
cheers
ben
******edit ...
it just struck me ...
how many of you out there riding boards with GLASSED ON fins also experience fin hum / speed loss ?? **** [ie: perhaps it is the base of fin flexing where it meets PLUGS problem , which contributes to the 'hum' ??]
