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

[@Gavinnations]

So good! Quality content

[@used_surf]

Thank you!!!

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

[@used_surf]

Yeah that would be a good comparison because they are very similar with the two front fins being larger and then the center trailing fin being smaller. maybe we'll try to fit that into the mix soon.

Sick video I currently ride the FCS TOLEDOS in medium do you know what the futures equivalent would be? Legends

[@foxgd9117]

Sharp eye fins are pretty similar

[@MrRobinski]

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.

[@used_surf]

Yeah that's a good idea. We have done it in the past a while back. For sure the vapor core by Futures would be the lightest. And the Endorfin fins are crazy light...FCS 2 though not sure. What have you noticed to be the lightest?

[@MrRobinski]

@@used_surf i noticed futures are heavier than fcs 1 and how sometimes bit of difference between side fin weights, Full glass fins seem crazy heavy, especially in twins and quad sets. you can feel the weight in the board but could be ok for more powerful waves. 0i would like to know the lightest stiffest fins you can get.

[@mjchargerSD]

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

[@used_surf]

Yeah we missed that huh. Let me ask Josh and we will get back to you
