    Maybe in the fronts but the rears are nothing alike. The rear speed diallers fins look like they'd work best in a retro rider.
    The rear controllers are much more aggressive.
    Do you know if the speed diallers have the same cant on the front fins as the Futures controllers/Indo copies?
    That's a part of what makes them so good. :-)

    Good recommendation Mirks. I purchased the Controllers based on this thread. They give my 5'4 Spud some much needed bite that gets the board going much quicker than before.

    Hey All, use my Firewire email, [email protected] for emergency issues, not my forum inbox. However, please avoid contacting me directly with questions on choosing a board, just use the glorious forum. Cheers!

    I just want to post a quick thanks to Mirks for kicking this off and to everyone else who contributed to this thread. It was super helpful in focusing my board choices. It also lead me to some of the other tracks you've all laid down (pointing very directly at you cuttlefish) which were also very helpful.

    Fingers crossed, I can hook up Potato (preferably Baked) before I head to Mexico in July.

    Just got the Info fins, copy of Futures Controller quads. Haven't had the chance to try them out yet.... but they're a lot bigger than the PC SF4s I've been using in my 5'4 Potato, so there should definitely be more than enough speed and drive. Looks like it's going to be flat for a long time, but I'll give review of them as soon as I've tried them out.

    Nice! Did you have to pay import fees ?

    Nope, the seller marked the package with a value of 4$, so no VAT og other fees was added :D
