Fresh from the factory. 5'10 x 19 1/2 x 2 1/2 with a 14 1/8 N and 15 1/4 T. Seeing if there are any channel enthusiasts out there with feedback. Heard to try with smaller fins to counter the extra hold. Not a lot of vids out there on these things. Looking forward to trying this one out.<br /><br /> <br />
Never ridden a six channel (only 4). Boards drive better than anything I've ridden...smaller fin was a must for mine as the entire point of that contour was control. Loved the barrel...felt stiff off he top but cut backs were a dream! Stoked for ya...don't worry about what people say regarding not riding them in chop...they still work. I would say use the smaller Merrick fins...and just get a pair of gx trailers to start...course depending on your weight...
How do those FCS fins work for you? Are they convenient?Was going to get them for my new board but figured I should just stick with futures...
For your quad setup did you drop from say medium front fins to smalls, and small rears to gx's? Or did you just drop the rears down and keep the fronts the same? I usually have med up front and smalls in the back. Ive found that to feel best.
Extremely convenient. No issues at all. Only disadvantage would be the current lack of templates and designs, but I'm sure they are well underway with switching everything over.
Stick with futures. 100000% better selection. FCS2s are soso. If you want to get bigger fins the selection gets smaller for the side fins, last I checked. I had an FCS2 rig and after toying with the new fins (I owned every set), I hucked them and just put my old favorites in. I got paranoid banging them around so much too. I'm sure they tested it 100032094328 times but with my luck I will punch the thing too hard and splinter the glass. I dont know all the wizardry that goes into putting the fin boxes in place tho.
