The reactor looks like the FCS Kelly template.

Hey bud ,is there a spot you can recommend a beginner working on getting up and down the line 45 year old new to surfing .gonna be in the area this summer 24

Great surfing and being part of the food chain is fun too. Word is, the striped fins act as a natural repellant.

Awesome review and surfing 🔥 I usually run the performers in glass but gonna probably pick up some reactors after watching your guys video. Looked like they still had good hold through the turns despite being a bit more upright 🤙

very good guys, I was in doubt, between the performer and the reactor, after this video I decided on the reactor, here where I surf in Brazil, but specifically in the northeast, the waves are small and there is a lot of beach break. The reactors will provide better support for my surfing, thanks guys

Build it...or modify it. Can you put chanels in an old board?

You guys should get a little digital scale and weigh the fins. I just started doing it and its interesting as could also be a factor in small waves.

The Best Explanation on this topic !

Those plastic alpha ones have some nice squirt.

Yes, fins make a big difference to a board, like tyres/tires on a car/auto.

Have you tried the Dane Reynolds fins from Captain? It looks very similar to the AMs, I’m so curious about the differences.

Btw, to mention, Shapers Controller fin is great for me.

Thanks!

So good! Quality content

I think vee under the nose would help the EPS/Epoxy boards handle the chop. In my day it was called reverse vee - vee under the nose, going to flat or concave/s (optional).

Loosest to Stiffest- where do the Vector 3/2 fit in?

pivots you say? interesting.. looks like the pivots would be ideal for Fl beach break.. looking forward to advancing out of my first heat, lol.🤙

Nobody talks about foot placement over fins

Tokoro vs dan man firewire futures fins? They look very similar!

Thanks for the helpful video! Enjoyed the video. Very entertaining and made me laugh!

Whats the difference between fcs 1 and 2 ?

What you don't mention which is way more critical than anything you explained, and I know why you don't explain it is because you're unaware you're doing it. When you pump your back foot is normally placed forward of the tail pad. This is better drive when you need speed but the last pump you'll slide that foot back against the wedge of the pad and compress your legs. Having that foot against the pad lets you whip the board to an air-rev where your front foot will naturally find the front of the board for the landing

Hi, I would like to improve my new board with a new fin and whonder what will be the best fin/size , Surfboard dimensions: 7’ 22 1/2” 3” 54.7L for pin tail ? Thanks Dror

Something tells me you don’t like epoxy boards🤷🏽‍♂️

Not the greatest day to test the frk+

Center fin box is likely a Star Systems box, developed by Paul Borderi, who ran the G & S factory for ages. Paul was a design innovator and made of of the first twin fins ever. He was a lovely human being to work for, brilliant and hilarious---quite the counterpoint to solemn, ultra serious Larry Gordon, who co-founded G & S with Floyd Smith.

How different does it feel from the regular TA Twin?

That donkey with the red board saw you coming and bailed with the board in your path. It's not a big wave just hold your rail saver if you can't get to your board and duck dive it so it doesn't turn sideways and get in someone's way

So fast and loose Ian’s mustache flew off

Who's doing the voice over in the beginning. Is that Virgil from Tombstone? 🤠

Great surfing!

Great video, love his surfing

damn I had my eye on that board a month or two ago sick

Doesn't seem to have stomach problems at lowers

I was told a twin is easier to surf then a thruster because you have more speed and it's easier to turn. Would you agree on that? I always thought thruster is easier because you have more control. Would love to hear your opinion on that!

Hey buddy I'm a brand new surfer at 47 I know late start but better late then never , live on the westcoast Florida where the waves are horrible but Im doin what I can.just wanted to thank you you for the tips

When can we get on a pair of the john john vapor cores?

Had been considering dumping my poly RNF for an epoxy but after this I think I’ll keep it a bit longer. Super helpful info for a newer surfer

🤢🤢

I know you brahs briefly mentioned it, but cmon, they are made from old fishing nets. The combination of recycled materials and innovation into this old design is mind blowing. Should have been a bigger talking point fo sho. The future of fins

Yep base wax will do you no good in winter but it can get you hurt. It just turns to slippery shit.

Best explanation for tails by far

Great. Keep ‘em coming

so lucky to have all the history were you live 🙏🤙🌟🌟🌟

What’s the difference between epoxy vs EPS

Daggum!!!

Like to hear about the tomb stone tail

TANNER SACK. What a fucking name 😂

Gorgeous surfboard!❤

Those JJF fins are made for head high + in Hawaii not knee-chest I don't even pull out my jjf unless it's solid 1ft Hawaiian (true 1ft overhead) or bigger cause they don't flex and they aren't meant for pumping down the line. Those fins are meant to hold at high speed on waves of consequence not this lil beach breaks. So many people try and use the wrong equipment for the wrong situations and then get upset cause "they don't work" for them (being the key). My take is play around with your stuff and find the boards and conditions they work best in there's plenty of options out there's I try not to pigeon hole myself with my surfing switch up your boards and fins 🤙🏽
