the aipas go amazing in his boars. I’ve used them in various twins just fine, but prefer the album x shapers fins in most of them (TM, LB, Townsend) now. I liked the Rasta/T1s in the Plasmic too… but apparently I’m in the minority there. Actually haven’t ridden the Plasmic in months now.
FWIW I also tend to prefer more upright fins in general (thrusters, etc)
You try these?

Nah, I don’t like the little point at the tip.

I’ve got a set. Fantastic fins in a HS Misc - nothing works better in that board. I’ve never tried them in another board because they work so well in there. To me, they didn’t work as a pure twin in that particular board (I’m 88kg though).

What are you preferring in your RT Twinsman these days? I have been debating the Rastas for the Bullet Twin owing to board narrowness. I like the Akilas in the Bullet twin in shoulder high, small pocket beach break, frees the board up. They don't work as well in heavier bigger waves, where the Album NVS uprights work well. I am looking for something closer to NVS uprights, but less hold and tad more speed. Recommendations?

Haha - thanks! They seem very similar Album NVS uprights - has anyone compared these two?

Anyone give these a go? Do they emit a subtle smell of Alana?

Anyone tried these or have feedback on the NVS J/L in Carbon or Eco Core (bamboo?) constructions?

I've got a 4+1 I'm going to be running as a thruster. Anyone ever used one of these fcs to longboard box adapters? I'm a little nervous about lost fin and unwanted flex at the base that I'm not skilled enough to actually notice.

I use/have used this adapter. Largest fin I've jammed in there being a size small/ PC3 thruster trailer. No issues. Jammed the operative word as it is a tight fit to get it in.
