This isn’t rocket science. You doing a turn on the wave you describe versus doing it on chest high mush. It’s the force of the wave that makes the difference, not your manly man legs, though I’m sure they’re lovely.

Fcs vs futures fin box test
- Thread starter Havoc
- Start date
I'm all about desegregation, so I mix my fin boxes up on my boards FCSII for the quad rears and futures for the tri-fin set.
I hope I can stop the "War of the Boxes" and we can unite.

I've stuck with FCS through the years mainly because of all of the FCS fins I've accumulated along the way. Been riding FCS since the first year they came out.
Same guy who:
Rides fireturds highest tech in boards
Marks X on beach to line up shoulder for next hop
Quiver of fun errrr mid boards
This thread going full LOL.
i dunno how much force my fins feel vs how much of it is the board on a plane, but I can say from experience that when a >200lb fat fugger dropped in on me on a shoulder high NCSD (mush) reef, I gave him a solid hockey body check with my feet planted on pop up and had no issue taking him down hard while keeping myself upright - and I’m easily 50lbs lighter than him.
I was really surprised at the amount lift I was experiencing.

I'm a cutting-edge kinda guy. Is that so wrong?
A pointy V shape, actually, and where there's a strong current and no natural landmarks.

5'6 29L
5'8 33L

No matter weight and strength low center of gravity overtake "shoulder hopper" any day sure kook was standing straight up "no knee bend" or stink bug "to low".

Anyway, if you don't want to break your boxes simply don't lean/compress into turns. Surf like Jimmyboy, in other words.
Pay quality shaper/glasser and you can lean all you want
Looks like classified has a few turds for you perfect moobs volume
Some 36-37L boards, HS, Tomo

So your theory is that box breakage is due to poor installation and not usage. It's not like you to express views that are inconsistent with the herd. Are you okay?
I already have a 5'6 cymatic, and I thought you were cool with manufacturers who do custom orders.
Unless you hit reef/rock/sand/board/Hawaiian 4' day @ Sunset/etc a good quality glass job which I asked @Havoc to include in poll prevent any box breakage.
I am pretty sure slaters bords specially ns quiver does not get glassed at the same taiwan factory as yours
so if slater jumps off bridge so do you

Fair point, and if your theory is right, that boxes fail because of poor installation rather than usage, bad manufacturers could be identified by failed boxes. I'll try doing a search and see what brands tend to fail.I am pretty sure slaters bords specially ns quiver does not get glassed at the same taiwan factory as yours
So far, on the forum, CI and Rusty are not looking good.Ask local ding repair guy
Lost, album***(?) and almost any other mass produced boards with 4/4 4 glass jobs
