5'4 SP Fins

[prjwebb]

I've heard about people ripping plugs with MRs. I think with Fusions in a FW construction board it should be solid, but it leaves you thinking is it worth the risk...

yeah erling the controllers look real similar to the ones in your post....

pne thing about bigger fins in FCS plugs, i think its fine, but you just want to be aware of your settings. think FCS and Futures alike both have increased risk of blowout it bigger surf, but not if you surf smart and save. Surf aggressively in smaller surf with big fins and consider a different set or even a different board for bigger waves. No perfect answer though.

Just some feedback on the FCS Controller Quad Fins from indofins.net for those of you who are interested.

I have a 5'4 SP and i really wanted Futures and the Controller fins but unfortunatley there was only SP with FCS available and i didn't want to wait minimum of 4 weeks for a board with Futures.

I purchased a set of the FCS Quad Controller Fins from InfoFin and they arrived here in West Oz within 7 day of ordering and cost me $51AU delivered.

I took them for a test run today on a fast, small 1ft (and a bit sometimes) wave and found them surprisingly good...they were drivey, had good pivot/turn and seemed to be fast enough and i did prefer them to a couple of other FCS fins i have tried ie. K2.1 Quad and SA Quad set.

Couple of pic of them in my SP:

Yup those controllers fit the potato nicely hey?

Yes they are not bad and only $50........tried to delete the upside down pictures but cannot without deleting the whole post.

[Chris]

there you go! FCS version of the controllers for sure!

Fazza:
- how is the build quality?
- not sure how the Futures Controllers are (inside foil, flat, ... ?), but how are the Indo copy ones?

Might order a pair and try them out, but I'm really enjoying the PC-SF4s at the moment :)

Chris:
Have you tried both the SF4 and Controllers in the SP? How do they compare?

[surferireland]

Is there anything wrong with the SF4's (i think) that comes on the SP in FCS as standard

[prjwebb]

I think they are a good starting point and they seem to go well. I'd be interested to try a larger set for more drive but man that board flies anyway.

i went larger with the mayhem's.. didn't like them.. they were very tracky.. so i'm switching back to the sf4's.. haven't ridden the board since however.. as goes living on the ec with a job and it gets dark early
