Good job guys, helping to create fin culture! I have the coffins and totally agree needs punchy conditions and high rockers to come alive but in these conditions they rock. Interested in the Tokoro specially for the higher cant (9 degrees instead usual 6,5) as well as smaller center fin. Futures please Coffin template in honeycomb!🙏

[@used_surf]

Yeah I agree!!!! I like the HC idea for the coffins!!

[@davidavron]

Hi guys, First of all thanks for the awesome show and reviews. How would you compare the Tokoro to the E6 legacy? size wise they are about the same, and same construction, is the Tokoro more raked than the E6 or is the main difference is the cant angle ? I just got a small wave performance board (js xero fusion) with futures after riding fcs2 for a long time and looking for a fin as similar to the pc carbon accelerator medium. thanks and keep up the good work

[@TheBaaamaBoy]

Where would you put the AM honeycomb in the list from loosest to stiffest?

[@billygottron9172]

Is Norcross back at the shop or is this just a guest host episode? Love this format. Futures are cool but I’m more of a Wave Storm guy. 🤙

[@used_surf]

He is fitting in time from his usual full time job to do these episodes.

[@user-is9xk1gz8x]

Suggest Solus v. new Blackstix R6 or F6

[@john_rocks_jax]

Good series like to see a series on the nvs fins

[@used_surf]

Yeah it's crazy there are so many fins these days. We want to get to NVS and Captain as well...hopefully get it going soon!

[@mattyk112]

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

[@used_surf]

Ok..that's a good comparison to do for sure.

[@rodneyevans4876]

you guys should do the endorphins

[@used_surf]

Yeah I agree. Hopefully we will get them integrated soon and do some comparisons

2nd this

[@dan1e1473]

Does anyone know if the FCS Tokoro fin also has extra cant? For what I've heard FCS doesn't implement cant directly on the fins, instead they let the shaper decide on the cant when installing the fin box.

[@used_surf]

Yeah that's a good point actually I think you're right... I think all their fins are perpendicular and you have to pick the Fin box that has the degree that you want and then use your dummy fan and a jig to get the angle that you want when you are installing. I'll take a look at this today and

[@dan1e1473]

@@used_surf I also noticed that the FCS Tokoro doesn't have a super wide base like the Futures, so they probably would be too loose with extra cant anyway.

[@used_surf]

@@dan1e1473 true! Yeah the mayhem fcs2 are different than the futures as well. Futures is more up to date I believe on these shapers templates.

[@user-is9xk1gz8x]

How about a review of the new Alpha Vector 3/2?

[@used_surf]

Yeah we're in process...should drop 2 Mondays from now

[@ocean1141]

Your chart Loosest to Stiffest is not quite in line with the Futures Ride Number scale.

stretch quods 🙏🤙
