Check these out - arrived today and look sick - even if they are in a home job quad.

Soon to be tested - if we get any wind

Have used these a couple of times now and I can say they work really well - if you've got a bigger volume quad - rode 112 OES quad with them yesterday - great speed easy planing and gripped sweetly on some small wave bottom turns at full speed - and snaps nicely off the top - not sure when they will be available in Aus - they worked really well on the home converted quad 104 as well - planning on another set so I don't have to swap fins when I swap boards.

Not a very technical review but all I can Say is they feel unreal

Just a suggestion, but if you fitted the fins flush in the boxes , it might feel even better.

Understand what you mean.

They are flush now - fitted them in the 112 OES I bought of a local fella this week - for some reason the front base tabs on the MFC fins were about 3 - 5ml above flush on both boards - once I got the the OES board I sanded until they fitted flush - I thought it was the Shapers US boxes that were shallower than the Chinook and didnt want to ruin them before I got the new board.

It looks like it was actually the fins
