I got some Speed fins with power box base made up for my twin fin freeride board it will be interesting to see if it goes any faster. Hoping there will be some wind on Friday to give them a work out.

Interesting, but what's the point of having 2 x 35cm fins on a freeride board? I assume that you would probably only use for example a 38cm fin on a similar sized board if you went single fin, so you aren't really gaining anything in clearance. And you are adding weight + drag.

It will be good to see how it goes.

Do you have a similar single fin board you can also use in the same conditions to compare?

I'm interested in fins made for powerbox fin boxes too as most fins are made for tuttles.

With the twin fins wouldn't it be better to go down to smaller fins, something like 25cms or less?

It is 165 litre board 80cm wide I think you would be sailing with something closer to 50cm. So yes you do gain in clearance. But also the comfort in sailing with twin fins is why I sail twin fin boards.

Not with a board that size I have sailed it with 31's but it goes slower than with 34 freerides. My smaller 115 twin fin uses 26cm fins.

Vector can do any of their fins in PB, I am currently testing a couple.
