In regards to GG's "Pool Talk" thread:
Hope you don't mind me starting a new thread Greg, but I though the topic was really interesting and the "Pool Talk" title was a bit of a misnomer to the actual meat of the content.
I'd really like to hear your thoughts and others on this topic.
Any of you medium guys always riding large?
In general, have fins gotten smaller since FCS/Futures took hold? Were glass-ons any larger?
What's your specific philosophy in regards to sizing fins Greg?
How big is going to be too big for the rider?
In my personal experience larger fins are always faster but much more difficult in critical sections of the wave. At the same time for a weakling like myself it's easy to overpower some medium size templates, especially more upright ones, coming off the bottom.
From the footage Lakey's board looks a bit stiff...contrast with Filipe still looking loose on the large.
