you guys remember when ProboxLarry would come on here and get all butt hurt about LokBox and try to joust with JJR? Some funny chit. He was kind of a goon on here.
Made in NH. I’m intrigued. But wouldn’t all carbon fin be stiff without much flex at all?
anyone tried + liked them in average waves?
I had fu make me a custom set once and they came out great. I heard it’s not so easy to get that done anymore but don’t quote me on that.
I had them make me a larger version of the 2.1.

i have the upright twins. basically the TA template. they are nicely made. very lightweight. not stiff at all, very twangy. they have too much cant for a straight twin but I like them as twin/trailer.
Only griffin could answer that ? So you may have to wait a minute or two

re: https://www.drabfins.com - the construction allows fine control of flex and he tests thoroughly ( the manufacturer is a very good surfer ) ..... so each fin is made to have reasonable flex for its intended purpose.
yes I've used them in average to below average waves ... I *hate* the high flex fins like rasta keels from futures ... drab makes a keel with reasonable flex/return that works pretty well in a small twin fin (5'4) in small waves. I'd like to try more of his fins but ...... you know. too many boards too many fins not much waves/time.

This drab feller also has a nice looking collab small keel fin for the FM with Mr. Lovelace.

5.5” tall, these keels sit between the Piggyback and my FM template in size - suitable for twin fin midlengths of all sizes, particularly sub 7’ FM’s (They will fit nicely with other twin fin midlengths given that the average fin placement is closer to the rail than the FM). Cold-molded carbon com

Funny. I love the high flex fins like the Rasta upright twin from futures… for the soft mushy average waves I typically surf. I do like stiffer fins in waves with more push, but that’s why I asked. Fins are so subjective.

Drab will do custom lay up to stiffen up the fin to your liking. Just ask them.
Aptos, or maybe the address is Watsonville (it's out there).
We are still making fins here in the San Clemente Surf Ghetto for Red X, LokBox and Surfer's Choice (Twin Tab and Future's compatible). And, Mark is making a few up the alley for O'Fish'l.
Can you elaborate on why you like the flexy ones in soft mushy average surf? MOAR better hop-pump for gogogogogo speed generation?
