I havent tries those. I have the drab twins which are twangy and fun in small waves which I like and the keels which are 80/20 foil and did not thrill me. Build quality on both is very good. Let us know if you try these.Has anybody tried Drab fins? Specifically the Mikel twins?
They just released a larger size and I'm tempted.
Mikel Twin Large / / Single Tab — DRAB
The Mikel Twin by Shaper/Surfer Mikel Evans. These fins were designed for high performance twin fins with the end goal of making them competitive with modern thruster and quad surfboards. The most notable part of the fin is the hatchet allowing the actual fin height and base to be smaller while stiwww.drabfins.com

I doubt anyone has multiple sets to compare. I posted screenshots of the various dims a few pages back and was surprised they were all slightly different.
everytime I think I know what someone is talking about j get confused with another acronym.
seems many many of the album fins are subtle tweaks with no real difference to joe average the suffer to allow multiple distribution channels to claim an exclusive.
anyone have a set of album x futures or a album shapers pt they want to sell or at least loan out?

Still only run them in swallowtail lightblender. i really like them so far. Turns felt good.
Still need to try in a roundpin like TMRP since they were designed for similar Wildcat

Those Pyzel Twins look really good. How do you like them?
They are ranked on a scale from milky to creamy to buttery. It’s a 1-10 ride scale, with most fins falling between a ride number of 4.4 to 6.5, as in somewhat milky, somewhat creamy, and somewhat buttery. Hope that helps!

Judging by his previous shaping escapades I would expect his fins to make your board veer off to the left.
Mods please move this to the politics forums
Update: I received a new set of Endorfin twins in the mail today from Firewire - free of charge.
They asked me to send the old ones back so they can verify what happened for some reason. I'm happy with the outcome.

Just got a set of the fiberglass Neal Purchase Jr keels. Excited to try them in my Panda Rocketfish.
Comparison with Panda keels
Comparison with Panda keelsAdvice, what’s the go to adjustment for a thruster set up that feels like the tail has a little too much turbulenc/lift. Amt are my default. is it better to go less raked set up or just larger trailer?
just to clarify, you say thruster set up but then you say Amt which are twin+trailer set up.
Do you mean your go to is the AM2? If so, I'd try something more neutral with all 3 fins the same size. F8, Sharpeye L, JJF L, Mayhem L, etc.
