I guess there's only so many ways to shape a fin. Here's the Captain CC Espacial and the Bugarski/ Feather colab. Not a square millimeter of difference. I knew theyd be close, but exact?! The fins in both pictures are on top of each other. You cant see a sliver sticking out anywhere :shrug:

Twin fin cant question—anyone know which futures twins have the most cant? Most sites don’t have it listed. More specificAlly looking for info on fins that are in the “in between keel and twin“ category like the Christenson twins, Album Fascination, Lovelace Piggyback, etc. I got this back from NVS:

Fascination twins 6.5 degree cant.
6.5 Degree Keel
Triton
Ono

6.5 Degree Twin
Kraken
Nautilus
Album Upright
Stu Kenson (L&S)
Ahi

5 Degree Keel
Stamps (M&L)

AMT's have a lot and the most out of all my sets. Not sure the numbers but more than the Fascinations & Upright you have listed.

Check out the Britt merrick twin set. Good imbetweener. No clue on the cant though.

@sushipop why do you want 6.5* of cant? Is your board not turning quickly enough?
partly to effect the performance of a board I picked up. Partly curiosity on what’s out there since futures has it built in and no one posts numbers. I scooped up an asym album Plasmic mid length. Been running Christenson twins. its weird—they feel tracky at times and twitchy at others. The board has concave “channels” that sit inside a single concave through the tail. When measuring the cant of the fins while in the boxes, using a straight edge and carpentry protractor, the effective cant is around 4’. considering cant and other factors as I think about what to try next. If only someone made custom fins for a board with futures bases….

I had issues with the Christenson twins in my Townsend. Tracking weird and some weird hang when pivoting at the lip constantly. Was driving me crazy until I swapped to a set of the Album Gemini fins which instantly felt right. Might not solve your issue but hearing your description sounds oddly familiar

@sushipop forever curious about fins,cant, and toe of twins. I run 4° cant on my boards
How long is your midlength? Maybe longer board more rail likes a little less fin
