    I love the twins. Similar to the quad but the extra bit of looseness. Except its tough to find options of fins. I'm not a huge fan of the keel kind. And that's what most brands make.

    I got a board from this guy a while back.
    He's a web developer that started his own brand - Has a shaper from HB and just throws his logo on em. I'm really happy with my groveler.

    Anyway... he recently started doing fins.

    I havent used any yet, but the price looks right $40-55. Worth a look

    They may work. They won't have as much drive as they would out of a larger surface area flat foiled twin set.

    I did actually check these out. His twins are $70. But the look similar to the future t1's that I do usually go with. Could go that route. Thanks.

    I'd be stoked to hear what you think of them. I HATE that they have the big ci logo on them. But I was checking them out too. Hahah

    If I want to mix up one of my quads I'll throw the front two fins from a thruster set in the front boxes. It surfs! I'll do the same with a thruster if I'm feeling crazy.

    I'm a big fan of the future t1's. But I was hoping to try something new. Its for a fish. I never really liked keels. Too tough to turn in my experience.

    I don't know bout the summer ova dea. Im back on the mainland unfortunately. I heard Maui was good. I went for a week and got a couple fun days in.

    Conversion is done instantly for you and Shipping is like $7- you order them online. I think they get sent from Ventura California, not Australia. If you email them with any questions they get Right back to you. Solid guys. Check the stores/contact icon on the site.
    I'm ordering mine this weekend.

    Ho Stevie is selling fins for $26 - around $50 on Amazon. Qualifies for prime too. Lots of positive reviews. Who really knows though....

    I just picked up a set of True Ames futures Twins in a shop in OCMD. These are upright fins in the Mark Richards twinnie zone. Base = 5.2
    Height = 5.3
    area = 19.5

    Now I just need a super twin kind of shape. twins.jpg
