I see three fins.

small diameter round rails feel so good. I have a nice pic of MC's rails somewhere...
4 fins are more twin than 3 (keeping it akila twin related):
If you got that board made in Hawaii its Very possible Ben finished it+1,000,000

At the car near the end he is taking out some Very large Twins and moving them to another board
This is Clyde with his quiver of Akila shapes
Clyde was one of my sales reps at T&C 80's - 90's
Bruce Lee clone , then became a master at Yoga

Next to the "For:" the name says, "Me", so I assume it was made in Hawaii. I found it on CL, haha. Sold it b/c the fins were too far forward!If you got that board made in Hawaii its Very possible Ben finished it

I don't disagree in the least. My boards were way undervolumed in the 80's to 90's. Silly really.
As for guns, I also agree with the feel of driving off the bottom, as you note. I'm talking about a board that was a boat for me. Pretty damn dangerous.
So I guess what's being referred to here are the extremes. Cue the "More than Words" jokes...
Wisconsin pharmacist who destroyed more than 500 vaccine doses believes Earth is flat, FBI says
When a pharmacist discovered 57 vials of the Moderna vaccine left to spoil outside a Wisconsin clinic's refrigerator in December, the worker immediately suspected a colleague who had spread false and outlandish claims, according to court records.

want to revisit this volume tangent in its own thread. Been a few years since we were inundated with volume as a metric, curious how everyones ideas have evolved. For myself, not having ordered a new board in >3yrs I think I can conclude I need more volume relative to the current quiver but just how much is too much to pad for the next doldrum of surf is anyone’s guess.
Having just ordered a board that I sized up and extra 2L based on the mfrs volume calculator and the sales guy's length recommendation, I'd say volume matters for paddling and the transition to your feet (it is NOT a f/w). After that, you need planing surface area. IOW, don't get too short of a board. Seems like people are going shorter and shorter and I don't think this is a good idea because if you don't have enough planing area and rail length, and your board becomes ultra-sensitive to pitch and front foot placement especially on bottom turns and cutbacks. The board also seems corky at speed. The board I ordered has enough volume but is too short, doesn't plane well enough, and doesn't have long-enough rail to hold at speed.Wisconsin pharmacist who destroyed more than 500 vaccine doses believes Earth is flat, FBI says

The next board I ordered has the same volume but is 5" longer or the same length two shapers have recommended for me and has worked fine.
I think you should find a shaper you can talk to and go with his recommendation. Do not order from a big brand.
lol, classic erBB. yes... I already did that.
now back to what everyone else has done... and specifically for what boards and intended use.
I think these boards are the trendy new toy. I've seen quite a few out in the wild over the past week or so.
That place is so GREAT to see when crossing from Molokai. All the better if there's a south swell.
