It all depends on what you're looking for. If you want to be fast, loose with small turning radius and surf top to bottom the Mark Richards or the AMT are good choices. If you want drive (= speed but tighter like a skateboard with tighter trucks) and hold thru the turns with Projection down the line the Power Twins with stabilizer, Mick Fanning 2+1 or the Firewire Slater Endorfins Twin+2. The Fanning's and Endorfins have way more hold. The comments from customers - these fins seems better for power surfer or for overhead waves. The reason for the is, the leading edge if you check them out are a little rounded and not flat or come to an edge like most other fins. So when you ride these fins you'll notice it will make the board sit..meaning it feels like a lot more grip in the water and the board doesn't bounce around as much. ( I hope that makes sense) So when you cut back you need to follow thru with more effort then the MR, AMT and even the Pwr twns because they do not release as early. -Not sure about all the water science , I noticed a difference , I need to push harder in small waves for sure but on better days it's real positive and you can commit really to your turns. Side note...when you have a EPS and the board feels a little bouncy or a tad buoyant use one of the Fanning or Endorfins and the board will feel a little more tame and easier to control . wow sorry the reply got long winded😆 Also if anyone has any comments , if I missed something or you think I explained it something wrong pls by all means let me know. Im always learning new things. Thats way we have FCS, Future, Firewire and all the other company reps train us and we video them for our channel. Thanks for the support - David (bummer no shaka emoji here on youtube)
@@hawaiiansouthshore that’s for the feed back . Just struggling finding an fin I like in the board as an thruster the medium Am felt the best I’ve tried ,seems an more rake fin I can get more drive and speed. Tried the reactors they felt just to loose with no drive but I if the wave has no push the thruster setup just feels slow and I’m been surfing for 27 years . Tried couple quad setup ups large performers up front with med reactor quad rears love the speed and projection but I’m not familiar with quads . Any other fin suggestions thruster or quad ?
@@NCsurfer607 no worries, hopefully I can help. If you have the AM and like them use it up front and if you have a set of Carver quad Rears try that. Or if you're AM is a 5 fin set up the quads that come with it are the same sizes as the carver quads, just a 80/20(i think thats correct) The carver quads have a flat foil and give the tail lift and the drive is good. When surf quads in 4' hwn and below I use the JS or KA with the carvers I like that that set up for sure.
Cheers great insight ......
What 2+1 fins would you recommend for this board for small surf? FCS2
