Hey buddy... FCS 2 or futures boxes. I think the board is really designed for a keel fin. FCS 2 I used the modern keel and loved it. Futures boxes the equivalent is the Christenson keel in Captain fin or a K2 in futures. They were great for my 82 kgs in a 6'0" and that's the kind of ride that bord is designed for as the rocker it really flat. You could go smaller thought something like the Neal purchase chipa fins be fine in that for a smaller board and rider. Probably wouldn't go below the size of an MR or power twin regardless. Another good middle ground would be naked Viking fins the new Noel salad model that's on his surf and show reviews would probably be perfect for what your looking for. Hope that helps.

Hi, Im using the John John Florence fins in my Pod Mod. But can we surf the Pod Mod with the AMK twin keels in the weak days ? Is there any advantage ? Thanks
@lawson45uk3 жыл бұрын
Hi Yes and no.. lol The keels will reduce drag and generate a little more speed but they might not be optimal as the fin boxes wont really be in the correct placement or cant for a keel too. Doesn't mean it wont work greatly depends on the board and the waves. The Twin and trailer version might be fun to try they will still not be in an optimal position but close enough with the right tail. Have a go and see how you get on. I remember my Pod Mod being quite fussy about fins and only liking a thruster but take that with a pinch of salt too as I dondt experiment that much. I know a lot of people are liking the Feel of the MR style of twin and trailer fins as a good fun option for smaller days. Hope that helps and dont be scared to experiment for yourself especially if you can borrow some fins or get a good price somewhere. Cheers.

Nice video, if my board is a little too big in volume for my weight would a smaller fin help me to go rail to rail?
@lawson45uk2 жыл бұрын
Hey Nic. Simple answer is yes but it gets a little more complicated than that. You really need to fine tune the fins to the board and its design to get the most out of it. Will smaller fins make a board easier to turn sure. But depending on the board you might loose heaps of drive and make it slippery and hard to control then you have issues with being able to apply weight and power to the rail and sliding out on turns. I generally find bigger volume boards for your weight often have better all round behaviour with a little bigger fin as you can create more speed and drive a and control that extra boyance but yeah it really depends on the board itself and the feeling you want. Let's say the board is already really fast on its own. You might pick a fin that's got less base and area and sacrifice a little of that speed you have plenty of to gain some maneuverability or of your board already has plenty of grip and hold you might go to a more upright fin and sacrifice a bit of hold for some more maneuverability. I have a multi part video that goes through all that design elements of fins and how to change to achieve the feeling you want if you have the time and desire to get that deep into it. Cheers.

Hi just had a look at the hooker fin. That’s less area than the ci and machado thought it looks like he also has some others that are similar area and shape to the ci. I would say the ci and machado would both add a little hold. I think I would lean a little towards the ci myself. I think That machado is a touch bigger and more upright but the way the ci has sweep and back cut it’s probably a little more suited to hold and release while still providing so one responsiveness. The machado be a little more down the line speed oriented but since you want more speed control than speed creation I think the CI be be the go. Keels aren’t ideal for bigger waves for me personally but the ci is definitely more designed in that kinda way. Cheers

On my MR Cali Twin the fins are set back from the usual thruster layout… I think it’s 10.25 Inch 260mm up from the tail where a thruster is more like 280mm… If the fins are in a thruster layout I would want the Power twin just to get the board under control… In a Propper twin and trailer layout like the MR Cali twin I can use AMT, MR, or Power twins successfully and just pick the one I want for loose vs hold… ( having the fin boxes further back creates more hold) Hope that makes sense… Have a look at Noel salas Surf and show review on the board too and see what he says..

Hi Cellini. Thanks for the kind feedback. Simple answer is in order of loose to hold it goes AMT, MR, Power so Power should be the safe bet for you for control if you like that feel best if you want loose then you can try the others… There isn’t a huge amount of difference but enough to matter…..

Im on a 5'10 Seaside that I dig with 39liters..i dig the volume. I'm 5'7 at 72kilos. I have the Controler quads and the Machado quads but I head that an Large upright template without too much rake would allow me to turn my kinda long board around quicker in the pocket.

Ok little hazy but think I have this right.. The AMT’s are a great fin.. I have ridden them the following ways and all are perfectly acceptable some will just be better at certain things than others…Twin and trailer exactly as they come, Twin and larger trailer ( like a Carver large or something else (50/50 foil obviously just replacing that back fin).. Twin and 2 trailers ( Essentially a quad but the front fins very large back very small) and yes you can definitely run rear quads in 50/50, 80/20 and flat inside foils.. They will all feel slightly different, can’t remember the assumed characteristics but think 50/50 is more controlled and flat is more drive but not 100% this is why they moved to 80/20 foils to get the best of both. You will notice the carver small is called quad / centre fin as with the 50/50 foil you can use it for either.. Hope this is helpful.. Remember too fin cant.. FCS built into the box, Futures built into the fin so doesn’t work across all fins.

If the board is designed as a twin and trailer it might feel better as a twin and trailer. If your a light guy good surfer and riding lower volume to weight ration the twins without a trailer in that kind of board might be fine if your a heavier guy slower surfer higher volume to weight like me you might prefer the drive and surety of the bigger more raked keels... In terms of the Surf and Show fin itself it's a nice fin. Less stiff than the Ci but still enough hold for someone my size riding higher volume. Probably a little closer to the modern keel in FCS in feel so definitely looser than the ci less area more upright.. Looking at the surface area and rake of the fins on the relevant websites is a really good indicator of where you might want to be.. You can then pick a smaller keel or a larger twin and trailer set to get the desired effect. Cheers. Let me know if you have some more specific info on you the board or what you have tried already maybe I could help I would guess your fin quiver for twin and twin and stabilizers should ideally have one of each options a good twin and trailer and a keel.

Pete Webb Hi Pete. So I was riding the Bean bag and found the split keels lacking the drive I was expecting which is unusual as they have heaps of dive in anything else. I had been riding a 2 plus 1 power twin in my psycho nitro and they were nice and drivey so I decided to give the power twins a go with the rear trailers from the split keels. That was massive drive but aweful to turn then I tried the AMT with the same quad rear and that felt better but still too hard to turn. Then tried the AMT with a carver small rear quad. That felt good but I still thought I might be able to get it to turn a bit better so decided to get another set of AMT and try 2 X AMT trailers and that feels great. The AMT trailer has depth and is sat quite far back so the rear end hold factor is there without something that's large to have to turn through the water. The AMT fronts are upright so turn well but still deliver great drive so that's where I have settled at. The power twin with two power twin rears is also good but the AMT is the best for loose and drivey .. thanks for watching :-)

It grovels ace but over chest high in steeper waves it starts to feel a little less manageable. Perhaps I just need to get used to it but it slid out doing cut backs a couple of times on steeper waves, which I'm not used to happening to me on my daily driver board, (5'9 29.5 ltrs thruster fin).

Controllers or Seaworthy same thing if your in Futures. Could try the rastas but there not all that big though would give you more area future back… Could leave the Machado fronts in with some more traditional rear quads maybe but yeah I personally would go Controller / split keels if Its grip drive and hold you want..
