These guys are riding large fins at 150 lbs because of the significant single concave and tail rocker on the boards.

In which direction?I think many of those pros lied about their height and weight.
I think many of them exaggerated their heights. Like everybody who said they’re 6’0 is actually 5’10.In which direction?
Most of them seem about right to me.
Possibly.I think many of them exaggerated their heights.
All the pros have strengthened considerably over the last decade, with the exception of Slater.I'm 140 on a heavy day and large fins are usually too stiff for me, the exception being twinnys and grovellers.
Had a Medium(medium large?) set of CI orange fins I bought from one of you and they were drivey but I couldn't get them to release for the life of me
edit, I love upright fins and all my friends think im crazy, Kelly fins for Beachbreak yes
good point, watched Kei Kobiyashi get yoked on his IG and shredz hard now. I'm still a hobit and my 27.5 liter rnf is almost too boaty sometimesAll the pros have strengthened considerably over the last decade, with the exception of Slater.
Thats why his turns don't cut it at CT level anymore.
Athletic development has been a far bigger factor than board design, IMO.
When you see the quads on Ethan Ewing for eg, you'll understand why he can put so much torque into his turns.
Interesting. Always thought the Tour averaged around 5’9” based on who I saw in person.I've been next to a lot of Professional Rugby League players and a lot of the Aussie pros are up there in terms of size and weight.
I was standing right next to Connor O the other day- he's a unit. Big body.
Yes, more than half the Tour is 5'10 plus.
That evolution has been happening for a while.
to be frank, you're probably too weak or have poor technique.Hmm. Im a smidge under 6 foot and 81 kg and I ride 29-30L. Anything over that feels too boaty. I'm surprised I'm riding the same (in some cases less) literage as CT guys.
Taylor Knox - when he's in front of you paddling around it looks like he has two boulders from the Flintstones for an ass.In your observation, which pro would you say has the best ass?
Schitt Jelling is not a large man, he's my size or smaller, I was sitting next to him in the water the other day contemplating his small size. Maybe 5'8 and 135 lbs.Not anymore- Brazilians drag down the averages.
I interviewed the 2% briefly on the beach at Snapper when the CS was on.
I'm a legit 5'10 classic middleweight.
All those guys towered over me- Kolohe, Cole Houshmand, Schilling, etc etc
Pretty shocked at the size of Houshmand actually- that guy is a seriously big unit.
I'm having a lot of trouble believing these guys are riding large fins all the time.These guys are riding large fins at 150 lbs because of the significant single concave and tail rocker on the boards.
