Don't you need 2?

Is it a one-off or are they going into production?
What lengths are rakes?

edit: just saw them on your site - prices look attractive!

To go in the Madd's I would need power box as well

No I am planning to use it in my new Thommen

Mind you I do have 2 Type S fins in power box being made up for me for the Madd's should be interesting to see how a twin fin goes with speed fins rather than freeride fins!

Not that great in my experience. I was using two Chameleons in my old 135 Madd, and I think the second fin provides more drag. I wish I had a nice flat windy place to try it out though...

I have 4 different Madd's to try them on so it should be interesting I have noticed some fins work better with some than others.

Keef, if you are talking about the 'new found' lake, I already know where it is. I 'found' the place last time I was down there when you were sailing Callala bay in a southerly.

How deep is it? It looked pretty shallow when I saw it.

Anyway, I think speed fins with twin fins are not that usable.
