*** Official Fin Thread ***

[Duffy LaCoronilla]

Someone at TA has some explaining to do with their CI buddies up the road.

Uh, no. The original fin was the Mike February made by TA. For a minute Captain Fin was also making a Mike feb fin (not sure if same template). The TA Feb fin became the Britt Merrick Twin, also originally made by TA basically as a one off.

Then Futures picked up the BMT.

Now TA will occasionally make a run of 24 sets of TA “Performance Keel”.

The template was designed together by Britt, Mike and TA.

It’s all good, man.

These BMTs you can buy direct from CI are made by TA…

Britt Merrick Twin Fin

Britt Merrick’s hand foiled signature twin fin set is designed to fit between a traditional upright and keel fin. While conceived to maximize the performance and flow of the new CI Twin Pin, the setup works great in any twin fin board when you are looking for the perfect combination of drive...

These are originals that were sold by TA…

When Mike Frb got sponsored by captain TA changed the name from the Mike February fin to the BMT

I bet the fit and finish of the TA's are better?

Yes. Noticeably so.

does anyone have the futures mayhem evil quads and can confirm if they have more cant than a traditional quad fin? i remember this being the case for the evil twin but they don't have numbers on their site

looking to try some different fins in my vesper dia and have had really good success with the old AMTs (more cant) in a channel bottom plasmic, so looking for the same concept in a 4 fin

thanks!

are TA fins favored here over futures direct in general? They do look cleaner

It would clash with his leg hair

I’ve almost pulled the trigger on those a few times. For some reason, I don’t seem to love a split keel quad. So I’m interested in the idea of something like this that’s a different form factor but similar area of the split keel (fascination) in the vesperdia. The CF Dane Twad is another one I’m considering.
I’ve been using the Rastas and the album TA quads and they’ve gone well. Mine is 6’1 (at my height).

edit: found some pics I took of the evil quads in the shop vs. other quads. I don’t remember noticing the can’t was anything extreme, but it was a few months ago

Always go True Ames first. Best fins on the market. There is no second place.

Thanks for posting this. I just grabbed pretty much the same thing: XL Performers and L Performer quad rears

I think you got the last set of M quad rears cause they weren’t available when I tried

L rears is probably more appropriate for the XL fronts but I don't know if I have the leg muscles to handle that much fin.
