Interesting things here. The floating California Fin Systems look strikingly similar to the current Futures fins. Alfred Maldonado's set up looks strikingly similar is some respects to the Edge Fin System (with finlets at the tips). From Surfer November 1982.

Note the ability to adjust the toe-in angle on the Finlet Fins system. That would be a cool option...

As far as I know, Alfred was never prone to what. But he was prone to laying down on small foam and fiberglass boards while surfing.

Similar in concept to new Futures Fins developed by Laird and Futures.

The adjustable toe-in looks strikingly like the Swivel Fin system from Oz (although Edge and 4wfs can do it too).
