I’ve got a set of the padillac and the Webster fins for my 7’6 DS , prefer the websters , hit Wayne up for a set , I find them not so stiff.

The pyzel fins are better in 30ft waves, for waves under 6-8ft try some smaller , more flexible fins. The Webster fins are solid fibreglass, that means good in waves over 6ft , maybe a bit slower in small waves.

There is no feedback sorry udo, I vaguely recall Ryan said he got rid of it , for some reason I forget, didn’t ride it more than once ? Had to sell it or something, I will confirm this when I chat next with him. And surprise news is II have been riding twin fins for about 2 years now! And I’m saving up for a “desert twin” Webster

How are the fin boxes holding up in the twins riding big waves, caml?

Ha, will never need them then :p!

Thank you for all the feedback advice.
Appreciate the info Supafreak, pic's.
Saved me looking into fins ie Pyzel quads that aren't suitable
Spoke with Webby his quads were a limited run. He suggested Futures F6 quad for 7'0 as an option, go from there. I have a set of Danny Fuller quads will start with them.

I have a 6'6 desert twin x 203/4x23/4 40 litres. Low rails
I ride it as step up DOH beachies south coast WA.
Great drive, hold, carve and pivot. I have the third fin box for a trailer fin on back hand.
It's a bit of an allrounder goes in smaller lined up waves, good down the line speed, carving
Tried a few fin sets. The Soulty seas MR twin works for me.
I ordered a 7'5" DT x 207/8 x3 50 litres.
Going to Indo later this month try it out and Margs in spring.
Can report back.
Webby is so good to get a board from.

What dim twin boards are you riding? Anything for bigger surf

These are another very good alternative. Get the flat trailers.

Yeh so an 8”6 for 6-13ft , and a 7”11 for 3-7ft . Sammy Yoon shaped em , they go good forehand and backand, got some twin fins directly from Rasta, inner foils he has been working on. I love them…. The 7”11 is my all round short board these days,

Hey Cam what's the dimensions on the 7' 11"?

Also the 8' 6" if you have them off the top of the head, width at 12" would be interesting also.

Going to shape a few boards for myself 7' to 8' range just interested cheers.

Sammy Yoon going hard!

Thanks IB they look good.
I see in the forum you use captain quads in your 6'10 DS when smaller.
What sort of conditions do you switch to the Bronn's?

why flat trailers IB? theyre normally foiled

They come with either flat inside foil, or 80/20 foil. They flat inner ones feel faster, more lively, the 80/20 smoother.

Baldhead, I love the McCallums for pretty much everything and every board. They're not available any more, so I hesitate to recommend them these days (have a custom set in the mail from an NZ guy).

Been running the Bronns in my big DS, and lately in my 7'0 Ben Webb too - incl the best point session of my winter so far. They're very well made (G-10), and quite similar to Futures EA quads, just a bit stiffer.
