Question for the fin Guru's

[Icanmakeit]

What fins other the Greg Griffin fins might any one know would work for GG 6' mod fish and or GG 5'3" hover? Any tried and true suggestions.

 

[PartyBoy]

he always said the classic AM template was the closest to his.

[santacruzin]

yea Ams for sure.

 

[Icanmakeit]

thank you for the response.
when you mention AM, do you mean Al Merrick or Ames? I'm not finding a classic set of ins in either for fcs?

 

[Retropete]

Assume they are talking about AM1.

AM1 fcs al merrick fins - Google Search

Those will be too small for the Hovercraft. Unless you can find a double foiled upright template for the center box with matching single foiled sides, run it as twin keel.

Fins pictured from my GG Hovercraft. Black AM1 on top of tri fin. And you want to make sure the tabs are similarly placed so that the fins align with the shaper's marks.

once upon a time gg was accused of ripping off the slater template for his fins
it wasnt exact, but it was close
so what i am saying is slater fins would probably work pretty well on a gg

To clarify, you're talking about the K-3 fins.

K2.1's are way too upright to be comparable to a GG template.

cant remember, but i posted a pic of the fins layered one over the other

My Hovecraft. 3 fin or Twinzer option.

And the obligatory off topic: Greg's ride when he was 18. So many stories!

Those fins have a 5” base I believe. Much bigger than K3
