    Any recomendations on fins (not flippers). I really liked the H-2 mediums but I already broke two of them and don't want to spend another $100. The PC-7s and GAMs that came with my Firewire and Merrick respectively were too big and stiff. Any suggestions? thanks

    Just out of curiousity, are you breaking FCS or Futures fins?
    For FCS, the G-1000 is a nice small fin that will loosen up the board in smaller surf. Or maybe just use a small trailer fin with the Merricks if you still have the side fins. I agree big stiff fins suck the life out of a board.
    These guys sell FCS for $37/set and Futures for less than that. That price includes all of the FCS plugs, but i would think they would knock a few $ off for just the fins. They also sell single fins when you just need one. For those prices you can afford to experiment.
