ever ridden MR78 fins? they are f*cken huge to compensate for being so far forward.

the more common MR TFX template is designed to be ridden with a trailer with MR's placements.
They are huge but have very little rake compared to the TFX....it’s like 1 step forward, one step back. The big carbon ones they released years ago were like big TFX’s and they had the grunt.

yeah i had the carbon ones back in the early 2000s. Used them on my first shaped board that i made as a teenager with 0 correct tools and could only be described as "interesting". Lets just say that I was in front of the current flat deck trend, the rail shape appeared to be upside down at certain points, the rocker could be described as flat with a sloped nose. but despite how sh!t it looked it actually worked well.

later used those fins in a 5"11 x 19 mod fish type shape with fins set in thruster positions, with a small trailer and remember them working well.

No and yes both dedicated twins I own both have forward fins (11") and I use True Ames twin fiberglass and Fins Unlimited 2win twin set in fiberglass both sets inspired from MR template height and base width. I like it and its extactly how I want my twin to ride and reason why I no longer ride thrusters and only ride quads, twins, and 5 fin bonzers:shaka:

Anyone notice the deep V off the tail? I dont think Tomo has ever done that on any of his previous models.

The fins were pretty far forward, but they set in line with the wing. I think Kelly should have tried some larger fins in that board.
