sick. i've been looking to add some camo patterns to the changing pancho quiver for those more covert surf missions.
This is an FCS thread, bro. LOL
Yeah, unless you’re in the shop comparing one to another, the templates all look real similar. That said, I’m pretty stocked with my twin quiver (see previous pg) with each fin having ever so slight variations.
I do think it’s interesting that Album describes the recent upright twin with Futures as having more flex than the NVS or Shapers versions.
Album is the worst offender.
The dude names everything the album template, he has like 5 upright twins, 2 semi keels, 2 modern keels, not sure what else, I’ve lost count.
Probably already asked and answered here several times, but what's the future box equivalent of the FCS MR Twin Trailer template? Just picked up a Lost X MR California Twin with future boxes.
T1 is slightly smaller, CF Elmore is slightly bigger.
there may be a dead on one by now but this is what retodd told me when I asked.
Thanks. Yeah picked up T1s. Comparing in the shop base was wider on MRs I think, but almost the same tips. CF Elmores may be more stable then. Felt loose goosey, but this is my primary foray into twin genre. Saw these:

"Derived from the tried and true MR style outline" Thought I read something a while back about the NVS Stu Kensons being a match too, which are claimed to be a twinzer template. Thinking T1s should be a good start, but was curious.

I had the nautilus twins. Liked them and agree they are similar to the MRs
I don't think there's an exact replica (I wish there was), but I've heard or read on here that the TA Twin is close as well. Never seen one in person though.
TA Twin - Futures Compatible (Solid Fiberglass)
( Twin-Fin Set ) From the archives...We were making these fins in the early 80s. This is a true classic twin fin set. A well balanced proven design.

Wouldn't really want anything looser, like these EVIl Twins were a bit loose in the tail:

I rode the AUs in indo a few weeks back. Borrowed from a friend. Used on a round tail CC Lane Splitter. I was shocked how good they went. Stable, a lot of drive, turned solid. No negs. Normally use in the BMTs. Not sure how they would translate to a more fishy shape.Anybody have any feedback on the AU Fins?
