Hey FresnoRipper, did you get the large of medium set? FCS or Futures? Placing an order today, trying to figure out fins. Thanks in advance and hope all is well man!
Hey buddy, thanks!

I got the large size in Futures. It's a great all around fin set. YMMV, but i've had good luck with them.

For reference, I'm 200lbs, give or take 5 at any given time.

Yeah, not a huge fan of wide tails so I asked tim to step it down...still plenty wide
This one is 5-10 x 22
Sold it a while back to get the fusebox.
I like the flare/fuse tail block width better
Do you have any pics or info on this fusebox? Been pondering something similar to the fuse and curious to see what you and Tim came up with.

Retodd or havoc can explain it better.
Basically a fuse with a flat deck & a chined rail
A blend of the fuse & giggle box

It also includes greatly reduced concaves. The bottom should be very shallow single (almost flat) to a bit of vee.

Longshot, but does anyone have a set of the old green/black Stamps futures fins they would part with? Doesn't seem like they make them any more. I assume they're magic like everything else he does. Please DM me if you're willing to sell
:shaka:

Call Futures and ask if they have any in the warehouse. That's your best bet unless one pops up used. No way Stamps has any.

The shapers sets don't really sell, other than the AMs. The pro models move stock, even though they're mostly tweaked versions of the AM with some weird material added.

I got lowballed on my all green set so many times I just decided to keep them. Super mellow v2 foil.

I like them as a quad setup. Thruster set was always too neutral and neither here nor there for me compared to other sets in my quiver.

well, I tend to like neutral fins, so if you want to part with them, just let me know please.

Inflation on surf finz trips me out.

Futures 5-fins were $100, Tri were $65 and Quad trailers were $45 not so long ago.

buy and hold!!!!
tris are like $120+ now. no wonder everyone went to twins, they r cheaper. soon inflataion will have us all riding single fins. greg griffin 5 fins only for the 1%-ers lolz
