What you need to know before buying fins

Doesn't it seem like there's a million different types of surfboard fins available? How do you know which ones are best for you?
I cruised to ET Surf to visit with Daniel Del Castillo to see if he could simplify things.
Thanks for watching! I'm Brad Jacobson and I'll sea ya on the sand.

ET hands down the best surf shop in LA. Great selection and awesome staff

[@jams1533]

Yah. When I lived in redondo I always went there. I avoided Spyder at all costs.

[@SurfFender]

Daniel Del is a great surfer, and gives a great tutorial here - fins and fin materials are very important

[@sneakerset]

We rolled up , and waited at the light - N/B PCH and Rustic Cyn. The owner of the surf shop ran in, grab me a fin, and we settled in cash, with perfect timing on the light. In and out - support your local surf shop. Thanks, Brad !

[@BradJacobson]

Good stuff!

You should have a part 2, go to futures and fcs and learn what they have to say also.

[@manyakaluma9391]

I have the carbon fiber fiber futures, very nice the vapor cores

[@jonahhex9620]

That’s a cool idea

[@dgrahamdixon]

Daniel's a legend

[@joeblow1942]

Sea Shepherd honeycomb vectored keels radically changed a board I didn’t like to a board I love.

[@rctrix9063]

I go with Travis AM large (AM1) are just magic.

[@bryanfuknc]

100% i use medium but i weigh 150, best fins for sure...

[@jonahhex9620]

I’m with Scott!

[@bonsummers2657]

What's the effectual difference between Vapor Core, Legacy, and Alpha fins?

[@linefinsquilhas6064]

Perfect!!!!!!👌👏👏

[@BradJacobson]

Thanks!!

[@drornadav2064]

Hi, what center fin size you recommend for minimal ?

[@andynewendorp6094]

I’m looking into H4s

[@hman7236]

Would be cool

[@user-tw7wu1js3f]

Have you had experience with Scarfing Fins?

[@chriscoralAloha]

Fins go on the bottom of the surfboard.

[@IambiguousSegment]

I thought they went on the back of your wetsuit

[@a.lame.username.]

Sounds reasonable!

[@theseb1979]

Sensible advice. Would endorse.

[@NoahJohnson7452]

No, I think that go on the top.🤣

[@someroob7915]

I get that, but what does “netural” mean?

[@TromboneAl]

My realator recommends an intregal, nucular, netural fin.

[@a.lame.username.]

How's the guy that uses AM2 honeycombs in everything? All the pros use 'em, so, I use them in every condition and in every board. 😂 Dude is missing out...

[@cazgerald9471]

I bodysurf, skindive, and SCUBA (in the past) - I thought this video was going to be slightly different - silly me 8-P

[@BradJacobson]

🤣🤣🤣🤣. I should make an episode about those fins too

[@IambiguousSegment]

U spelt neutral wrong...

[@MrREDVANS]

dont do drugs
