Is the issue:
mass-produced junk or quality products? Junk can be made anywhere.

I know no quality surfboards from China.
The NVS fins are better quality than a lot of other fins I have.

I thought C-Drive was an australian company
At least when I bought mine they were

I recently picked up some of their G10 assym fins

Can you elaborate?

Is it because they're importing from China. I was pretty shocked at the price when I bought them.
It doesnt matter to myself
Its just interesting to watch as a fin maker myself

Eric asked me how much for a set of Twins - I told him 40.00 each , he gave up but was told by Futures 50.00 each for G-10

Cost on these , and errrberrs must know are 5.00 to 10.00 each to survive business wise

If they grow Futures and FCS will have to adjust their pricing and maybe their overhead costs due to that -

Only place I'm seeing C-drives over here now are on Aust eBay and they say shipped from Wuhanworld (China).

Might as well ask here. Why are there no real third party FCS2 fin manufacturers? Is it because there's some sort of patent on the fitting design ?
