    Smile What fins do you recomend for the Michel Bourez board?

    What fins do you recomend for the Michel Bourez board? Say in my case, the 6'0 thicker version which i'm waiting for... can't wait to get my hand on it! :)

    I'm used to the FCS K3 Fins - Performance Glass, i also like the simon anderson's Medium size (green ones). What is the most similar future fins model to the fcs ones i usually use? 78kg 1.90 mt short stance

    Cheers, all the best!

    Rick,

    I have tried Futures AM2, WCT, Clay Marzo CM2 and YU's in my Bourez 6'2.

    I would have to say that so far i have enjoyed the YU Techflex fins in this board..........going to try them again today in 4-5ft surf and let you know how they go.

    Hey Rick, I bought some med Future Tokoros....mainly because that's all the store had. I'm about the same weight as you (i.e. 77kg). I wouldn't mind trying the Black Stix Arakawas too.

    Yeah good stuff folks.

    I ride the Michel 600 thin with the Blackstix EAs and love them. The Blackstix JC1s would also be another suggestion of mine.

    Depends a little on the wave i guess but those two are great all around fins!!

    Cheers and hope this helps.
