Any ride reports on the album x TA quad fin set?
I like the look of the template and could see them in my quad fish.
Also, they seem like a total bargain compared to the bronze sculpture

I rode the NVS versions (which I believe are slightly bigger) in my RNF Retro quad fish and also a Bing Cypress, they went well, much more pivotal and free than split keels

I like the TA twins in both my twinsman RP and my townsend
I think i'll try out the TA twins like you suggested. I suspect the Akilas might be a little small/upright for me at 185lbs. Gemini fins are not in stock.

@frontsidegrab did you ever try the TAs in the lightbender (that you sold me), or should I just pull the trigger on the RSCs? My fin quiver is already getting out of hand.

Edit: Even without an arch, I would not turn down one of these shapers pads tho. I like the mix of textures
They fvcked up the knobby and corduroy placement.

The genius of the Octopus pad with corduroy in the front half is that when trunking it, the corduroy is easier on the knees.

Then when you're up and riding, you can put your foot back on the knobby's for tiger shreds.......as God intended.

Yes. TAs were the first ones I tried in the LB. Ended up feeling like too little fin and lacked drive. I tried 3 sets before I got the RSCs.

Anyone ride a Disorder asym?
I had Mr. Steve's old one for a while. @Duffy LaCoronilla has one in the quiver still I think? I know someone else was recently posting about it but I can't remember off the top of my head.

I really liked it and surfed the crap out of it for a season on waist to head high days, it was definitely more of a low end DD than a regular short board in the dims I had it. The rocker felt relatively low entry and made speed easily, it felt very natural. I sold it to finance a new board but I did enjoy it a lot. I rode it with the TA album asym set. I tried some other fins but they never quite worked for me.
