if u could only run 1 set in asym townsend, which would it be? those alkali ones are almost 2x price as anything elseI went down the fin rabbit hole on the 6-6 townsend a while back. Ran AMT's for a while and actually really liked them for bowly beachbreaks and tubes. Waves where I didn't have to work too hard for speed and wanted to stay more in the pocket. Nothing I've thrown in there has felt bad, just different. I think overall I still prefer something like the Fascination or the Album x Alkali twins that are a little more swept back for the amount of drive and hold they provide. I'm about 185lbs. just for reference.
i've mostly ran the fascination set in my asym. i like the built in drive of the semi keel style fins for that board. i think if it was longer than 6-8 i might prefer it with a more upright set. my 7-2 allan gibbons channel twin felt a little stiff with the more raked out fins so i've been running TA and other upright templates in it. still haven't ridden it in point waves though so maybe i would prefer a keel or semi keel in long runners.if u could only run 1 set in asym townsend, which would it be? those alkali ones are almost 2x price as anything else

The GG inspired cheapy AliExpress refoiled fins went the best. Also tried T1's and Captains Christenson Especialwhat did u run in ur asym townsend squashy one?
You might try the new Albums by Shapers (black n white ones). Only ridden a couple times in small surf, but good so far. YMMV. I’ve realized I apparently like a more upright fin than many seem to.new to the twin game. was gonna get a set of the gemini 5.45 ones since thats what matt recs. i'll get a set of the fascination ones too.
