Lightly used but not abused. This set of fins cost $55+tax in shops, I'd like $35. Will ship for another $5.

how do those work on smaller boards? i use g-1000's which is a realy small fin on my 5;8" by about 2" thick. how would those work differently? ive been wanting to experiment with different fins

IMO, they are the best fins for small-medium surf that FCS offers, altho I (and plenty of pros, including Slater) have ridden them in larger surf and they seem to work fine. They are both drivey and loose... not so much loose as they allow tighter, pocket-based turns. It is hard to go wrong with them.

i have a set of both. the g1000's are much loser. being a small grom and all your turns probably arent full of power. the k fins will give you more drive off the bottom...but im gonna say that for you they would work better in head high-slightly overhead surf <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Or hows about "training" to surf with more power and be one of the few groms out there carving instead of tail-flicking? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I once met slater- short dude, still kinda grom-sized.
