sizing the sweet

Here's some Indo fins controller copies.
Haven't tried them yet.
Need to sand one of the tabs to get them to sit flush.
The front fins are a lot more flexible than the Futures genuine article but the rear fins are stiff.
Akin to glass flex fins in the front fins flex.
However since the fins are in a small wave board the flex could actually be a real positive.

Here's some shots to show the flex.

Seems to me that those front fins are missing a bit of rake compared to the original controllers...or could be the angle of the pic

I'll be interesting in your feedback on these Pete. If they are mind blowingly better in the SP than anything else I might have to order myself a set. Maybe not in orange though :P

Buy them PRJ...you'll like em.
Only got 5 high tide 2'ers to test the Indo fins on this morning but I'll concur with Mirks.
I liked the speed out of the gate and easy looseness with these fins compared to the Stretch's in the same kind of waves.
Definitely THE fins to have in the spud when its smaller.
I reckon I'll still use the Stretchs when its bigger or put in a rakier rear fin with the front Indo fins to gain hold in the tail if needed.

By the look of the forecast I may not be riding the spud again for a couple of days.
Hopefully too big for it.

yeah those look like a fun set? Keep us posted.

Put the rear strteches in with the Indo fronts in pumping 3-4' point waves yesterday.
WOW!
Go as fast as you want with hold for big arcs.

Should I be ordering some indo fins Pete?

[cuttlefish]

Definitely!
Especially when you can mix and match them with different rears and still have them feel so good.
When the swell drops (gotta love that) I'll try some GXQ PCs with flat inside foils with the Indo fronts too.
This week the nearest Buoy topped out at 7.5 metres.
It's pumped since last Friday with biggest days Mon and Tue with the points still firing up until today and tomorrow should still be good.

Living the dream! The shocking conditions have continued here. Can't remember the last time I had a decent surf. March maybe?

I've got the K2.1 quad rears. I can't remember exactly what template they are but they could be fun with the Indo fronts. Should have my SP by the end of next week. The question is, do I order the Controllers now, or wait until I've tried the DL fronts with K2.1 rears and MRTFX with 2.1 rears...
