Every set I’ve got from them had to be sanded down so they’d fit in the boxes.

Sidenote: Has anyone ever used that VerifyPass for Service Discounts anywhere?
It looks liketoo much of a hassle if I'm going to only get a 10% or something.

Since we're talking Captain Fin... Has anyone tried the CF Josh Hall twin fins? I recall double foiled fins don't get much love around here.
It would be for this board: https://www.lifestylesurfshop.co.za/product-page/ferral-retro-fish-blue-and-red. ignore bottom deck picture (way distorted).

It looks like Josh places his fins closer in than most which makes more sense for those. Personally I'd just stick to some flats on that link you posted.
I would avoid the Josh hall 50/50 foil fins unless you like going slow.
Same here never had a set that fit the even the last set of true ams I got were even to long and wide
It's not so bad if you have to sand it down but if you get a pair of aftermarket Futures with the side to side wobble, that's it -- instant return. Can't be fixed, since there's no side screw.
Imo old boxes dont like new fins. boxes got just slightly wider. All my oldest futures wobble in new boards (og vectors and blackstix)
Anybody tried these?

Grabbed some Futures ENs. First impression is very nice.
Was curious about using a larger upright twin compared with my beat up True Ames TAs.
ENs have a wider base but more rake and less depth than the TAs. The EN foil is much more refined and gives the narrow tip nice flex. Glass layup is premium compared to the thick, dense fiberglass of the TA.
Think these will rule in the Plasmic. Maybe smooth out the kinks and give some spring through turns.

bigglesworth, those look like a nice balanced template to me. More upright than the AM and heavy fiberglass layup characteristic of True Ames. I imagine they will be stiff and pivotal.Anybody tried these?

new board running fcs2 carvers in the PC material. thruster.
need to add some control and maybe even slow the board downs some. any suggestions? the carvers already have a good amount of control i think.
board just feels a little too skatey

Are Fannings same template as Carvers? People seem to like those as a predictable fin. (too raked for my taste)
