Your just the bloke who was asked to post a picture of your new board so JB could see if the device would fit my issue is not with you,its with the fin advice expert.

It's not like you have ever hijacked a thread.

Same template so I can't see how they would be better.

i forgot you are also a advocate for plastic fins.......

shapers CARBON fins...now go do some thinking before you answer

Oh yes carbon makes them so much better ....

Actually I have tried a variety of different fins that are the same template but different materials over the years. My experience is that there is no hard and fast rule. There have been times when I preferred the plastic ones to the stiffer ones and vice versa. I also think half decent recreational surfers can pick the difference in performance - mainly because I can and I certainly aren't a pro. The differences in materials are more about refinement and nowhere near as dramatic as a whole new fin.

I like the ABs in my channel bottoms too. No other fun seems to come close to working as well with the channels and I tried five different fin types before buying the bullet and coughing up the coin. Like all things surf related though, it does all come down to personal preference.

And, possibly even more importantly, let's all take this to a different thread and show some respect.
