Like an aircraft with its flaps and slats down, I think V2 foils cause more drag than generate speed (going in a straight line). What I noticed these fins are good for is to loosen up flat boards. The inside concave allows the board to yaw easier.

If you aren't a guy that's driving there ass off and being casual I don't think you would like these however obviously I have issues with really throwing a hard bottom turn and have blown these guys out many a time.

I can't find a single youtube video on this: what's the difference between keels and twin fins? Why are keels so much fatter and how does that translate to more "speed and drive"?
@jpierce97262 жыл бұрын
when you look at keel fins the fin goes farther out then the limitation of the fin box, if that makes sense. So the fin being longer from nose to tail of the board holdes the water better and just gives more speed that twin fins which simular to thruster just fit the length of the fin box. The keel fins have a more smooth arch and instead of bending far from the board just slope towards the tail. The twins have no center fin meaning less drag and more slidy when it comes to turns and same with the keels but they hold a line better because of the extension of the fin. i feel like i explained this terribly but hope it helps

@@jose2x784 exactly, the board feels a bit harder to maneuver. pros of large: you can push way harder and gain more speed. Like a high gear on a car. pros of large: you can trust the fins when doing carves. Pros of medium: They feel a lot looser and you have more release. Cons: not as capable of generating speed like the larges. Depends on your weight, these are things that can affect your surfing. But the best way to improve is watching yourself from the beach view and correct your technique. Yeww! God bless!

Im between the ea blackstix and these rob machados. Mostly surf 1-4ft waves and occasionally the 5-6ft waves. Which fins would work best. Looking for one fin set for all conditions but mostly small surf. Im thinking to get the rob machados because they will work alot better in the small surf but i dont know if they will work in slightly overhead surf. Because im transitioning from large stiff fins to medium flexy fins.

@kelvinbatista92593 жыл бұрын
Let me start with the following disclaimer “I am a beginner intermediate surfer and fall between small and medium size”. That being said, I own regular blackstix in small, EA blackstix in medium and AM’s in honeycomb and blackstix construction in medium among others. The biggest factor for me was the area. Because I am in between sizes I struggled to find the right size and how that translated to surfboard feel. Once I found what works for me area wise, I looked at construction and template. Machado has two fin designs, a rake template and a pivot template both in blackstix and both in Large only. If your a large size then the pivot template for small surf is the best option. The AM’s have a very distinct rake template and a smaller middle fin. Good for a daily driver (3-7 ft). You can switch between constructions depending on wave energy and size without a radical change in template. However, these have the most area in there respective size but come in all three sizes. EA blackstix come only in medium. They have equal size fins and have a rake template. These are to too much area for me. If you are a heavier on the medium scale and/or a powerful surfer you can manhandle these fins to get them to work. My opinion for small waves…..If you are small get the regular small blackstix. If your between small/medium get the HS2 (my fav) or slightly more area P6. If you are a solid medium get the P6 or for more drive the Machado large pivot P8 or the HS1. If you are large get the Machado large pivot or HS1.

@midtownsurfshop3 жыл бұрын
Each one of these fins has a Futures "ride number". The Futures ride #'s factor in the flex, template shape and construction of the fin to simply the feel of the fin. Ride #'s closer to the number 1 give a more controlled feel (better for bigger waves) and ride #'s closer to 10 give a more speed-generating feel (better for smaller waves). The fin with the highest ride # out of your choices would be the Machado Blackstix, with a ride # of 9.8. Because of this, the Machado Blackstix should be a great bet for small waves :)

How similar/different are these to the seaside quads?
@midtownsurfshop3 жыл бұрын
They should feel similar and different in some aspects. The seaside Quads will provide more hold, drive and control as you have two extra fins in the set to stabilize your board. The Machado keel twins should feel faster and looser, as there are only two fins in the set. They are both similar templates (same construction, similar shape) and should be fun for similar waves - the quads just give a bit more hold and the twins go a bit faster :)
@benjaminm52322 жыл бұрын
I use both the quads and keels in my seaside and in my seaside and beyond. Like Midtown Surf Shop said, they are very similar except you will lose some drive with the keels butl gain down the line speed. If you like the Machado quads, then this is the best keel set for you since they will perform predictably from the first surf. Just don't push too hard through your turns or you will likely slide out until you get the fins dialed in. I like these keels in my SS&B on small days since they make the larger SS&B move maneuverable and faster than the board is with the quads. However, on chest and up I prefer the quads for added control. I pop the keels into my 5'7 seaside when we have clean waist to shoulder high conditions and the waves are better suited to more drawn out turning. I have tried 4 different keel sets and while the AMK's were a close second, I like how the Mchados pivot better in smaller conditions.. I think the AMK's are the best all round keel for people who like to surf twins most of the time and for riding a keel fin in better and bigger surf. At 175lbs I found the AMK's provide too much hold for my liking in smaller surf and the raked out design makes your turns too drawn out for me. Machados for the win :)
