    Hello firewire crew after an el fuego 5.11 sweet potato 5.6 dominator 6 and my trusty futura 6 choose MB 6thick as my shortboard.I try the board not in ideal waves with pc5 fcs fins paddle and catch waves very well as i am 175- 180 lbs.The board bite so good on the wave and when you push turns on a dime but on the second session with bigger and more powerful waves slide out a lot and cant push to make a proper turn.

    Thinking to try bigger fins and i am between G AM(large AM FCS) and H3 nexus (large)
    Any help please? Thank you and sorry for my english.....

    true ames make an ea template with fcs tabs....other than that try k2.1's...i miss them riding futures...also see if you can get the john carper fins in twin tabs, thats my fave in the MB....other than that, look at am's for tip release or fcs 5's for a balanced fin...the list goes on...

    good one prj, i missed the bit about bigger fins...yep definitely try the bigger kellys...also, you may be like me and just need more tip area and not actually need to stiffen the board with a big fin...
