- Thread starter ChaseTMP
- Start date
Haha, he got real grumpy about it "well, how did it fall out, did you hit something"Bummer Waxy. I saw Akila comment on the live video yesterday. hehe. Shouda put da screw in brah!
Well, would I have mentioned it if I hit a rock? Of course if I hit something that would be the fucking reason. Did you want me to type an essay into Instagram live feed that has a limited character input?
I was just curious if he found that there's more pressure on a twin fin in his experience is all.
do it!

You just need to snug - check them - maybe every 4 surfs
Jus like checking your tire pressure on your MTB Bike to get it to work its best
Soft plastic not so preditctable
my buddy did actually lose a griffin fin lolz. fcs fusion. prly best to grind out a notch on them
You could always drill a hole in your fins and attach them to your leash string
Because he doesn't check them -
Just snug them and yank as hard as you want and you will know they aint comin out
Just don't take a dump until after you surf...5'7" sorted!
Hmmm though this may lead to Poo man stancing while surfing...!
I do it to mine, for the piece for mind
FWIW I've only lost one fin a long time ago, probably didn't check'em
I'm so confused on how you had screws front and back and it still came out.
You might want to consider going up 1-2L. Can't quite recall your normal volume, but IIRC isn;t it also about 26L?
Just double-checked a photo from the last lost fin; it appears I mis-remembered re: the front screw. I didn't have a front screw in but did certainly had the rear one in (I always use rear screws in any FCS2 fins, certainly would use both front and back in the future if attempting to run twins again).
Fwiw I've found that while the board is definitely not a groveler, it can grovel a little bit if your 1ft kookslop has just a bit of push, and that's (imo) because of what you said, that you can size it up. I think it can be sized up because its rails are (in my limited experience) stupid thin per size and all the foam is put in the centerline, allowing it to tip over easily; Kevin Schulz refers to this fact in his video. I'm 165lb and I've got mine at 5'7 x 28.5L and it's definitely one of the better paddlers I've been on, for such a short ass-board. (My other shorties are in the 27L range and a bit longer.)
Sarfing this board without back pain is something else. The hype / buzz around this board shouldn't die down, it's that fckn good!
After a good session on this a day ago, I really have come to thee ralisation that I'm just scratching at the surface of riding this thing.

@waxfoot Congrats on being without back pain!
I surfed my AA contemporary fish today. Akila really know how to hide volume and still have relatively foiled rails/tail.

Still one of my favorite twins of all time. It IS trickier than others I've had as the fins are more forward, but there's sh!t going on that makes these boards do things others can't. Just gotta put your time into figuring them out.
