They are basicly the Schroff fin with an inside foil and softer flex  I second OP's request for sweep. Ride Number is for fooking retards who should take a SUP under each arm and walk into a fooking chemical fire. Not having sweep/rake posted and instead using ride number is even worse than fins with less than 35 degrees. Upright fins + tail rocker is why it takes Jeremy Flores 15 pumps to get from the bottom of a wave at Bells to the lip. JEMMY JEMMY ITS ME BILLY

bullshit, the performers and accelerators are good fins. have used them in a wide variety of boards. enjoying the jack freestone's and tp1 in the past also. If I weighed 130# and surfed perfect bowly wedges with speed to burn and with a buttplug inserted, I too might like upright fins. And ride number. And social media. As it stands, the waves where I live suck donkey balls and there's a reason Jordy's fins aren't upright. Neither are Mick's. Neither were Sunny's.

I'm just trolling - no disrespect to fishtank and I wish I surfed upright fin waves regularly - and I second your suggestion about comparing the fins in the shop.
I say trace the things onto some scratch paper, bust out the ruler and the TI-85 or a protractor, or draw up a right triangle, and ask the hot 15-17 year old shop grommette if she wants to get Pythagorean. And if she does you might get to see her Archimedes triangle! The real test is if she lets you put it in her abacus.
