what size did u get? Also, u need to charge ur phone
I’m still trying to wrap my mind around how this setup would surf. What is the intention here?
Yo, fin people.
I need a recommendation for a trailer fin (Futures base). I'm putting twins in the front position of my Hess Traveler with 5 boxes. Danny said he designed the fin placement for this option. He suggests adding a trailer. Anyone know where I can get one?
I looked on ...
True Ames - sold out.
Futures - Only a ...Lost honeycomb option.
Captain Fin - Doesn't sell a stand alone trailer.
Thanks!

I like this one in my Akila. Its a hair bigger than the t1 trailer if your familiar with that twin set.

what happens if your trailer is stiffer/more flexible material than your mains? Would it be noticeable?I like this one in my Akila. Its a hair bigger than the t1 trailer if your familiar with that twin set.

My front fins are Brian Bill Akila pivots in solid fiberglass and they match up well with the NVS trailer. Dont think I would want a lot of flex on my trailer and stiffer solids up front because when I put a trailer in I'm looking for stability. I liked the Machado twin +1 set also which was all blackstix, but never tried sticking a solid glass one as its trailer or vice versa. In my head, it seems like you wouldn't want all your fins flexing too differently
I need another twin set like I need a rinse kit and astro turf changing mat.
$25 and G10. Mucho apprecianato, amigoI like this one in my Akila. Its a hair bigger than the t1 trailer if your familiar with that twin set.

This would be for a 5'5 Album Plasmic. Might throw them in a burch picklefork for kicks. I'm 160 lb.
I have a 5’5 plasmic (5’4 width and thicc) and think these both may be too small. I’ve been running around 20.5 - 21.5 sq-in fins. Been meaning to try the Zach Flores set in it but haven’t yet.
i think @oeste858 tried the aipas and didn’t like them in the plasmic but does like smaller fins in his like the t1 and rasta sets.
the aipas go amazing in his boars. I’ve used them in various twins just fine, but prefer the album x shapers fins in most of them (TM, LB, Townsend) now. I liked the Rasta/T1s in the Plasmic too… but apparently I’m in the minority there. Actually haven’t ridden the Plasmic in months now.
FWIW I also tend to prefer more upright fins in general (thrusters, etc)

Was eyeing the flores set. I'll be surfing them in some mush so the wide base is probably something I need to prioritize so that seems about right.
