Some don't know any better. They could be new to surfing or just grab a set because they think it looks cool. I've seen a number of reasons. You post saying you just got your first twin fish thingy board and wanted to know what fins to put in it without any sort of description of the board or pic. No possible way anybody can answer that with the details you left, than you delete the post. Guys are willing to help around here, but they can't work miracles. Sounds like you already got a set of fins so moving on.
You're kinda worked up over a general question about what kind of twin fins people like for waist high surf. Agreed moving on.
Anyone have a set of NVS fascination quads they would want to part with?
I just sold a set of lost Seaworthys that I hadn’t used in years to Racer. Of course a few weeks later, I suddenly have a boar I want to try split keels in…

@trifish listed some a while ago.
Future fins
All in good shape. Most their bags are missing though. Will include if I happen to have one for that set. $60 shipped for each set except the quad rears. I'll do $40 shipped on those (The QD2's) TA Keels Stamps Keels (Large) Captain Fin CF Keels Solus EA Blackstix Christenson 5 fin Am1...

New Christenson fins out with Futures instead of Captain Fin co.

kinda interesting bc they’re completely different than the CF ones, at least the keels.

Christenson Twin
The Christenson Twin is a proven template designed for modern twin fin applications. It’s a pivot style template with an oversized base. This allows for good drive and speed down the line, while maintaining great release off the top. This fin adds a performance feel to your modern twin...

Christenson Keel
The Christenson Keel was designed with retro twin fins in mind. This keel template is the most upright keel in the Futures line. It allows for great speed and control down the line, making it one of the most versatile keels in the Futures line up. Construction | Fiberglass

I'm the opposite - the centered fin base of the Captain Fin CC keeps never worked that well for me except in the Moonstone
I've been digging the Futures Sharpeye L's. My normal thruster set is the DHD L and sometimes Jordy L or AM2's.Recs for a large, neutral fin with Futures base? I’m eyeing the NVS below (mainly cause it’s on sale)
Currently running large, raked fins (R8) and looking to experiment with loosening some boards up a bit.
JL Thruster (S, M, L) - Apex
Tried and true; the JL template has been a staple in our collection since the beginning. Easily one of our most popular, versatile thruster sets.The JL thrusters are a well balanced, neutral template. These fins are designed to function well for a wide range of conditions and surfing styles. A...www.surfnvs.com
Usually when I go away from the more raked sets I feel like I miss the drive too much and it's not worth it, especially in a true HPSB with a narrow tail and some rocker. The Sharpeye's feel like just the right compromise for me. Definitely a little tighter arc but I've yet to feel like they lack drive.
Ridden them in the Disco, i72, Driver 2.0 round tail and Stamps Warhawk step up.
Never liked his upright twins, but his keels have been my fav keel by far. I've always found them to have a good mix of drive/pivot
Says cant is 3 deg. Maybe a typo, base length isnt right either.
I think of the OG more like a semi/modern keel
anyone order from these guys? 20 bucks for fiberglass twin fins...
Knocked the fin out of the board doing this. Foot is swollen up. Hanging at the emergency room to let them assess it and do what needs to be done to get me back in the water asap.
Thanks! I deleted my op because I ended up finding a set of large Futures neutrals on my local FB for a good price. If they don’t work, I’ll definitely check out the Sharpeyes, they sound like the perfect balance.
12 days then stitches come out. Luckily the forecast period is shite.
Worst thing is waves were garbage and I shouldn’t have even gone out. Was an exercise paddle rather than a surf. Any way 6 stitches and a course of antibiotics should be all good in the shire (because my foot looks like it belongs on a hobbit with the swelling and the hair).
