Over the years I have built up a vast array of fins, a quiver of fins. Just wondering what everyone else has.

Here's my quiver...
3 x PC R2 quads, 1 x R2 thruster set
1 x PC G-AM quads, 1 x G-AM (copy) thruster
1 x PC AM2 thruster
1 x H3 Nexus tri-quad
1 x PC SF4 tri-quad
1 x PC K2.1 tri-quad
1 x PC GMB5 tri-quad
1 x PC TC Redline thruster, 1 x carbon TC redline thruster
1 x FG7 thruster
1 x Soar MF (yep Mick Fanning) thruster PC
2 x carbon 3D
1 x carbon CRV thruster
1 x FC7 thruster
1 x GQ-X quad rears
and tons of plastic fins M7/M5/M3 sets and GX that came new with boards, I never use them but stick them back in when I sell the board, though I've made quite a few of my own stabiliser fins out of the excess centre fins.

Far out. That's a lot of fins!

I've got;

PC7 thruster plus QPX quad trailers.
GAM thruster.
Parko Kinetic Racing thruster.
K3 thruster.
PC5 knock off thruster.

That's all folks!

I'm pretty happy with what I have, and think it covers the range.

If you are serious I might be interested in the TC Aqualines! I tried sending a PM but you've switched them off?

Hi Slowman,

yeah not sure what is happening with the PM business cause I have it switched on, but I don't have the option of sending a PM either. I will look at trying email.

I notice you don't have a high post count, probably this problem (http://www.firewiresurfboards.com/f/showthread.php?866-Private-Messaging).

My hotmail is cav_slowman.

Retirement planning...ahhh thats right...thats where you choose to work your ass off during the most physically capable years of your life to accumulate money and assets so that when you are physically on the decline (thats if you make it to 60+) and unable to do the things you loved and enjoyed in your 30's and 40's and early 50's you have a lot of money but get to ride a long board or SUP on a lake somewhere if you are lucky...sounds like a really sh.it plan to me...

My retirement plan doesn't include donating to Sinn Féin, so I'll go with more fins and other toys while I can afford them now! Not so much that I don't think I can't when I do retire but I'll probably be living in fear of living too long! and never want to spend a cent unless absolutely necessary.

Well said Slowman!

In my teens, I would hear my best friends dad say that life is too long. I would look at him and think "pffffttt, what a barney".

I now know what he meant :)

Tested them today in 3-4' they seem to be the missing piece of the puzzle. They make the JK go how I want, a little tail slide, good release and easy vertical turns. Cheque is in the mail! Many thanks Sarge.

Thanks Slowman. Glad you liked them. I was always amazed at how those tiny trailers held in off the bottom, but they did.
And thanks for the cheque.
