Yeah that was a thought of mine too.
Regardless, I wonder if this fin concept translates to waves under DOH.

Just messing with you(Griffin template @5 3/8hx5b). Have you tried the Kenson template from NVS?

gotcha, missed it.
I was waiting for Sean to get back from vacation but in the meantime I ordered a bigger center fin recommended by NVS. I cant remember the set that sean recommended but I think I have the SK but in Future for my Stamps and like em
Can anyone compare the Shaper's Asher Pacey 5.59 (or 5.79) fins to any other common set of twins out there? I know that sounds like a stupid request but I have a 7' Townsend diamond tail and Album recommended the AP 5.59. I have a few sets of twin fins and I'm wondering whether the AP 5.59 are similar to maybe the T1 or True Ames or ENs? I just don't get to surf often enough to go the trial and error route. Or if anyone wants to recommend a set that works well in a Townsend, that would be much appreciated as well. Thanks!
Mason Ho is working on a set of signature fins... @11:50

I haven't tried the AP 5.59's but for me the Townsend isn't super fin sensitive. Like, it's always worked and been fun with whatever fins I put in there. I tend to favor bigger fins for max drive but my longest townsend was 6-8. With a 7-0 you might end up not needing as much fin. Size wise the TA's are probably closest to the AP 5.59's. I'd start with the TA's and go from there. If you want more drive, try the EN's, if you want more pivot, T1's.
T1 and AP 5.59 comparo. FWIW, the 5.59s are by far my favorite fin in all of my Album twins. I ride them in my 5'3 Plasmic, 5'4 LB and even my 6'2 Moonstone.

I can help with the comparison, but in HS misc, all with the trailer fin in play:
vs T1 - longer, more drawn out turns, more hold, better carving. Doesn’t love surfing top to bottom as much as the T1.
vs Endorfins (with the bigger trailer) - again, longer, more drawn out turns. slightly less drive than the Endorfins.
in summary - they love carving and are great on a point break.

I remember somebody here has been riding and swears by some big twangy flexy twins but can't find where to get any. Interested to try a set in a twin egg I have coming. Was it @Retropete ?
I saw sanctumsurf has some but they want $40 for shipping. Anybody else make something similar? Soar discontinued them it looks like, and salty merchant only has fcs base ones that are sold out
