I've ridden the piggybacks a few times now. I dig 'em. They're definitely loose and I could see them working well in a twin+trailer scenario.
Is the wills fish designed for piggybacks? Would make senseI like the CC keels and the Piggybacks both as high-performance hybrid keels.
I tried the CCs in my Lovelace wills fish and it didn't quite feel right so I switched to the Piggybacks and it lit up. I don't know that would be the case in every fish I've ever owned.
In this case, the Piggybacks had more drive and were more maneuverable at the same time. This is the only fish I have atm so I can't comment on the Piggybacks generally
I think I remember reading a post from him that said he made them originally for the toe side on asym boards but they ended up working well in symmetrical setups also.Is the wills fish designed for piggybacks? Would make sense
I think so, but I did see something somewhere where Ryan suggested that people bigger than Will might be happier with a bigger fin.Is the wills fish designed for piggybacks? Would make sense
I had a similar experience, started with the piggybacks in the Will's fish. Nothing bad, but out of a whim I installed the Machado twins, and instantly the drive and speed was there. I have used these in small waves and up to shoulder high waves with no issue.I think so, but I did see something somewhere where Ryan suggested that people bigger than Will might be happier with a bigger fin.
The piggybacks felt pretty good to me in shoulder high+ surf but I could use some more drive in smaller waves.
I'm a bit bigger than Will so am considering the Britt Merrick Twins but have on other boards recently so haven't gotten around to it.
Anybody have any experience with the BMT's?
Tried the Piggybacks in my 6'4" twinzer and came away with the same impression.Have not used the Lovelace keel but I have used the Piggybacks on my fish.
Used them once in good fast point surf and felt that they too squirrelly for my tastes. Want to try them backside.
Also I went from the Hobie keel to the Piggyback and then to the CI keels. The CI keels are in between the two (size wise) so maybe the Hobie to Piggyback was too drastic a change (or the wrong for the waves).
I think they will work better in a board I have on order as a 2 plus trailer setup, otherwise I’d send them to you....
Those look sick. Is that the Ono template?
Hard to say. I kind of doubt it otherwise they would probably say, highly recommend you use it with the piggybacks. I do think that fin profile and others like it just happen to compliment that shape and what it was intended to do.I think so, but I did see something somewhere where Ryan suggested that people bigger than Will might be happier with a bigger fin.

Fins thst come with the FM model. High dollar custom carbons available though.Those look sick. Is that the Ono template?
