Hi All ,
after a bit of your vast wisdom here , got myself a tiny 5'8 fish for small mushy waves , in 78 kgs and currently have fcs g'3 s in it but find them to lack drive and speed anyone have any suggestions on what would be more suitable fins for speed / drive in small waves , old school fcs plugs in the board tri fin .
help would be greatly appreciated .

Hi Udo... the whole move is a work in progress. As we shift from being a licensee of 'major' surf brands to our own 'family owned' brands, we need to test the waters.. Likely closer to Dbah :)
New brands will be Summer vibes and BELL... watch this space...
cheers!

I recently purchased a Lost Mayhem puddle jumper HP RND . My old one was a squash tail and with FCS 2 split keels a Mat Biolis design I believe, the board quickly became a favourite in the knee to overhead wave range . The PJ HP RND has been tweaked a bit in the rails and came in at 2 litres less than my original PJHP squash , at same length and width . From various YouTube reviews , one in particular mentioned that the newer model worked well with different fin set ups including 2+1 . I initially tried it with my MB split keels and it was way way too loose , like a skate board that’s had the trucks loosened off too much . So I purchased some MF 2+1 and today rode it in 2 to 5 ft point break walls and fark me the thing went insane . A new magic board for when it’s under double overhead . The weird thing is I tried the MFs 2+1 in my old squash tail and I thought they were crap compared to the split keels . It really highlighted to me that fins can make a board sing or spin out . It really was such a huge difference . I’m sold on the MFs , dam good fins in a groveler board that I like to push in a bit more than overhead waves .

Sounds like use S-Wings in Twin Tab and use Gearbox or Surfinz Boxes for that 10mm of Adjustment or Power Base for 20mm .
