Such an original concept for a video from this charlatan hawking his wares
Exactly what the surf world needed. Another video of this guy in his van and surfing seaside.
Pappy always told me never trust a white guy with dreads.
Those futardo fins actually aint too bad though for sh!t wave wiggles.

I have a feeling Muchacho spends a lot of money on his hair for it to look so carefree
I settled on the controller split keels in the bottom feeder. They were the best balance of speed and control for me.
I was gifted a set of the endorfins twin set for Christmas. Looks like these:
I've used them for about 3 surfs in my HS Misc which I've had for a while and am very familiar with. I normally run it as a twin + trailer with Shapers Asher Pacey 5.59" fins.
Thoughts so far:
Overall, so far so good. I would never have bought them for myself due to the KS/FW connection but there you go.

Thoughts so far:
- * I've only used them with the larger trailer fin in the set so far
- * They have "made by Scarfini" written on the fin pouch (South African fin co).
- * Quite rigid - Less flexible than my set of T1's, almost as rigid as the fibreglass Asher Pacey fins
- * Good drive for being a fairly upright fin. They are a similar height to the T1's but a much longer base.
- * Definitely a pivoty fin set. Was fairly at home in the small, pockety beachies that I have been surfing.
- * Went ok on a couple of head high waves, but I was surfing a board that normally works better in smaller waves so YMMV.
- * The trailer fin bases (both) are very slightly longer than both the Asher Pacey and T1 trailer fin bases. They are much more of a tight fit in the box and are difficult to remove.

I used small TPs from True Ames for fronts on my 8’6 Padillac. I didn’t die so I guess they’re good.
Yeah, TP1’s are my go-to thruster set. I would say they are kind of a medium-large fin. I find them to be well-balanced.
I preferred the old colorway though!
I have an old glass set that I probably won't ever get rid of but if I do I promised to the retodd. I should probably put that in my will
Dukes set made for his Dark Twin compared to a set of Akila's from Brian Bills if anybody was wondering. A little less cant angle in the Dukes.

I've used them around 15 times in the last three weeks, all in the same board.
Haters gonna hate, but these fins are magic in my HS Misc. I just wish there was no KS/FW connection... At least they're not made in some sweatshop in China.
Kemper has a set that looks similar. Not sure if its the same ones. https://futuresfins.com/products/billy-kemper-quad
looks pretty close. The Padillac ones are more curvy.
Pyzel Padillac Quad
The Pyzel Padillac Quad is a pivot template built in solid fiberglass construction. It has 80/20 foils on the front fins and 50/50 foils on the rear fins, designed to hold in large or powerful surfing conditions.
