Whaaat!! 🤗 Full fin test from 2 pro riders!!! You're kidding me!! Amazing treat for any windsurfing slalom rider-lover, well I guess it;s Christmas so thanks guys! "Should be Michele" was the first thought when I saw the intro with the Patrick sail and so it was! 👍 So needing to upgrade my fins after long injury time off, still on 2013 SL4 Deboichets, riding a 2021 72 carbon reflex Isonic I promise I will send you my impressions🙃 on a new 37 Chopper! 😍Aloha from Loutsa!🤩🤙
You guys put up a fantastic video! Nice to get the confirmation regarding speed, control and predictability. Actually it's not soft at all, but it does give a light feel on the back foot. "Easiest and fastest" was A2's feedback after his defi win this year so feedback is pretty matching. Would've been nice to see you test it in more challenging conditions because we feel that's when it truly delivers. Great work anyway! Keep up the good work.
I have driven most Fins - Bug, Z-Fins, Ultra Maui Fins Chopper, Erd , but when I got on Sonntag I realized that this is my Fins. With her I feel the perfect glide the best. it doesn't burden my legs I don't feel any resistance the board moves like I'm on a foil and the most important thing is that it doesn't play or make any sound. Everyone else is playing, and that annoys me a lot. If it happens to me that you give me a fink, I will gladly take a sonntag. I have been subscribed to your channel for many years and I always look forward to your every video. Greetings from Bulgaria. p.s. by the way, if your Sonntag was 2 cm smaller, it would be perfect for you.
Watched the whole video in three parts at the gym. First of all, big praise, you rarely see such elaborate videos. I don't even want to know how long the editing took. Seeing the water and drone shots in the gym motivates me even more for next season. I would find the Bug Fin very interesting to test, after what you said about it in the review.
Hello Nico again, as I see now there is fin to win. Awesome, because I crashed my "evo slam" in Leucate last year. I would prefer the chopper fin. I saw most of your videos and I think very nice, smart with very beatiful Pictures in these grey days. Go for it🤙👌
Without dount the Best Windsurfing review I have ever seen. 2 pro riders giving solid information for People like me. I love it. I have Just bought 4 Z Fins, it seems that I made a good choice as my first carbon fins. I would love to have another Z Fin to add to my quiver, please 😊😊
Finally had vacation to watch all the way through. We but Maui ultras slalom weed for the club fins, and I use Z myself for slalom. Very cool comparison! Awesome companies submitting for these tests as well. Lots of effort in this video and it shows
I really like the sonntag. I allready use one secondhand 44 for my 130 isonic. Tomorow is my new board coming. I bought a 2016 isonic 107, its a perfect match. But I think every fin is a match for me as a student.😅
What a tedious but very helpful fin comp. Used to be a pretty big MFC and Select fin fan, but after going over your very comprehensive comp, I was intrigued by the Sonntag custom fins...which they could customize for my height, weight, 130L BIC Techno WindFoil board, with a wide (4.7m2 to 7.5m2) quiver of sails, and where I sail on the Columbia River. So I decided to get a 38cm and 43cm Sonntag fins. What an amazing difference, and a very inexpensive upgrade! Best windsurfing money ever spent! Thank you!
Best Fin review ever. This was quite the project again. Just awesome to share these adventures with us all. Fantastic Drone footage b.t.w. Not clear who the pilot was, but great shots of the speed on the water. Editor was no slouch either. Placing the drift and spinouts with the right fin was, and is, key. Well done. For me the Bug seems to be the right choice. I sail it rough here in Florida, mostly on the Indian River near the Space Center. Would be an awesome addition for my JP (Which I love b.t.w.) Greetings from the Space Coast. Thanks for sharing.
Tolles und aufschlussreixhes Video! Habe sehr lange auf darauf gewartet und endlich Antworten gefunden. Ich habe mir gerade mein erstes Slalom Board als Student gekauft und bin grade auf der Suche nach einer guten Finne. Du meintest ja, dass du am Anfang die Z-Finnen gefahren bist und diese würde ich auch gerne an mein erstes Slalom Board testen. :) Mach bitte weiter so gute Videos and #makewindsurfinggreatagain

Great video Nico and Michele! Nice to see that Surfcenter has a full comparison overview on their website :) See you around! I would love to try the ChopperFins CHC 43 cm in Deep Tuttle!
Very nice and intersting video👌I viewed is in the hospital😢 so I had the time to check the fins. I would like to have the chopper fin so I can use it as soon as I’m able to be back on the water.(when the temperatures are better and there is enough wind). 🤙🏻🤙🏻. And not to forget, have a nice christmas and a healthy newyear
I’ve got a reaction I was a pricewinner of a pachage of 3 fins. I only had to pay shippingcosts. I had to react on telegram. I didn’t trust is an said it was fake. Now also the reaction in youtube is deleted.
Great video! I had experience owning ZULU Fins. BUT broke it on the rocks. I tested the Z-FINS - as for me this is the fastest fin I have ever experienced! Very interesting to try Chopper. Thanks again for the video. Very useful. Just looking for a fin for next season, because. I don't have any right now
The chopper fin 😮😮 very useful video guys! For the average consumer it’s impossible to test all these fins and have an idea what is quality and what is shit. Unfortunately you guys didn’t test the Select Rhino
I have been looking into buying a new slalom fin and this video has helped me get a better overview thanks a lot!!! At the moment im the most interested in the z-fins.😀
I liked this format a lot. It was very informing and i learned a lot. Sou thank you... I would like ton win a Sonntag fin to try it out this summer. It would be a great christmas present 🤗🎄 Merry Christmas
After 30 tears of no windsurfing and started 2020 again, I found out that gear chanched al lot.. thanks for this video which explains a lot about fins i didn't now yet. And why a good Fin is very important to enjoy al lot more.. My favorit is the chopper Fin..
Super Video👍! Interessante Vergleiche. Habe selbst einige der getesteten Finnen (teils andere Grössen). Bei der Tribal bin ich mehr bei Michele bzgl. Kontrolle. Meiner Meinung nach kommt es auch auf die Board-Finne Kombi an. Je nach Board benötige ich eine Finne mit mehr oder weniger Lift. Bezgüglich Materialqualität beim Tuttlehead bin ich nicht derselben Meinung wie Nico; die Heads aus Carbon sind massiv weniger wiederstandsfähig als jene aus Glasfaser/Epoxy weissnichtwas composite ( Tribal, MUF, Sonntag, Finish). Reine Carbonheads neigen zur Sprödigkeit, bei zu hartem Anzuehen der Schrauben platzen die deshalb schneller auf. Danke für den interessanten Test und die spannenden Kommentare👍❗ Ach ja -eine Chopper habe ich noch nie gefahren-wäre geil.....😁 Gruss Andy🤙
Fore sure would like to win the Chopper fin or a Sonntag, theyare way to expensive for me to use on daily basis but would have liked to see a Patrik P-Race fin compared to the carbon fins. Especially now when Michele was joining the test since he is sponsored by Patrik. Great test video by the way..🙂
Very cool to see such an extensive test. What a job it must have been to test everything. Nice to see the differences between the brands. I've been sailing with the Zfins for a few years, great control and top speed for me. So if I win, that Zfin fits perfectly with my gear. Thanks for the video Nico.
Very interesting and compromised test with two of the best Windsurfers in the world! Nice video footage in between! Thank`s to Lars! I would like to give the CHOPPER a try.
Thanks for the video, I have been looking for a fin comparison video and finally here it is and also good to hear it from the right guys. As for me I loved the chopper fin!
What a great video. Like to See more of That! Maybe with different foils? It is a pity that hurricane did Not Send you a fin. After your test i really would like to win a chopper fin! So merry christmas to all of you 🤙
Great video Nico! 🤙🏻 Must have been a long day. What an extensive test. I would love to win a fin especially the seaweed fin you used in America. 😬 With the low water level on my spot, it would come in very handy. But because it is not in the test, I choose the Chopper.
Your videos, tuto, analysis and judgement are always awsome 👌 And this comparison you've made on fins is in the same line: even for a french men like me, it allow me to better understand the differences. Thank you very much for your passion and sharing spirit 🙂 !!!! And specific 👏 to michel also, which as also always find the right words. By the way, having the dual gasoil under my Christmas tree will be 😎 (it could perhaps better match my biggest board of 105l/64 width 😉)
Thanks for your review, it's the first time I've found a good summary of most of the fins on the market. Thanks for your video, this will help us to make a better choice. From your feedback, I think everyone would like to try the Chopper, me too 😀
Hi Nico, interesting video, I've had 5 Z, 4 Chopper, 2 MUF and now I have some Tribal .... As for top speed the fins with more speed I've had are the tribal fins measured with gps (Locosys GW60 and Motion), but of course they are not pure slalom fins, now I only have the tribal because I do speed and I'm super happy, comparing them with the Chopper and Z, always with the same equipment I was in +1 knot of speed or even in big boards +2 knots. ... but of course, they are not the best fins to compete in slalom and I imagine you have made a video of slalom fins. It's good to have comparisons because not all of us are looking for the same thing from a fin
Thanks guys for this video. Give is great input in the search for a Nice upgrade of your board. I'll would go for the Chopper. But I miss the upwind category in this test.
Thank you for the test, that's another great package of windsurfing knowledge! Sonntag seems to be the best for me as I am medium advanced surfer. For sure such fin would help me to develop new skills. I hope one day I will try it!
nice review. Also nice that you take the average free racer with you as a reference. we are not all worthy of PWA. THNX. I dream of a sontag in my RRD freerace board.
Congrats! I’ve been waiting for this one of the kind, mega review ever since you first teased it. It’s so hard for us plainfolks to find the right fin to our needs! I’d give any of the Sonntag, Finish, Chopper, Z, C or Bug lines a try. I have a glass one that feels too stiff and an smax that is 2cm too long, so a 37cm tuttle carbon would be a great improvement to my middle sized board. I value acceleration and control the most. Thanks for your efforts, Nico and co. 🎉
Wirklich gut gemacht - mit dem Qualitätsstandard und der detaillierten Analyse besetzt Du bei RUclips ein neues Level. Dank Dir. Das hilft. Erinnert mich an früher, als ich im Kinderzimmer immer stundenlang die Surf-Testberichte gewälzt habe... Spitze, wenn ich die Chopper oder Z-Fin bei meinem Fanatic Jag 125 einsetzen könnte.
Thanks so much for spending the time to do this review, so useful for the recreational sailor that might be on the edge of buying a reasonably expensive fin, but not being quite sure what might be best suit them. If there is any one thing you could add would be the sailing conditions the fin is best suited to, open water chop versus sheltered flatwater, but I guess you only tested it in the one and it looked quite choppy. Thaks again
Ok Nico this is an excelllent review about fins ! I have several MUF SRC since 2017 and for me they are very nice because you can push with your rear foot and there's no spin out. I have buy an ZFINS 37 slms- and i hate this fins, there's some spin out in full speed ans it's very dangerous !!!! A chopper fins could be great for my DH 117 !!!! 😉
Well done Nico and Michele, for such an informative review by two people with such great experience. Having both of you to compare the fins makes the testing so much more valid. I have a Sonntag SL Pro 37 and I would agree that it is such an easy fin to use. I also have a chopper 36 that also agrees with your findings, but I would really love to try the 37 Chopper.
Great video! Starting to get into slalom sailing for 2 years now and like to upgrade from the standard fin, this video gives a clear overview. Would love to try the finish fin!
Thanks for all your efforts in this video. Nico. Such a helpful video to choose the right fin fits in my style. I am a beginner of windsurfing so always go out to water after watching your video :) My choice is Chooper fin.
Finally a good, personal review of these expensive fins! Would be curious to test the Chopper or the Sonntag fins on a JP Super Sport. Also curious why the other 15 brands did not send a fin...
Thanks for the well made review, it must have been a lot of work. I'm not sure how relevant your conclusions are for the average recreational windsurfer, but it is a start and it's entertaining. I'm still happy with my 3 year old Finish Fast fins, so you can skip me in the draw.
Awesome video! Appreciate the time you put in to give us weekend warriors tips and advice on how much difference a fin can make. Would love to see how a fin can enhance the board from stock fins supplied. Chopper would be amazing to try, or Sonntag sounds interesting! Keep up the good work 🤙
Super video. Finally a test where a lot of surfers have been waiting for. I am a super heavy rider 127 kg. Which of the fins would you recommend. I like the finish fins but the chopper is very nice to.
A review of 13 fins, what a work! I have never seen such a large and detailed review of fins, great to see the ups and downs of some fins. I just bought my first medium slalomboard and was looking which fin to buy. The Bug SLEM fin looks my winner😋! Great value for money and the controllability and easy of use I'm looking for. So fingers crossed 🤞
Thanks but as you learned on your visit to the USA weed fins are often a requirement for our locations. It would be great to see a comparison of weed fins to pointers, especially as it relates to the compromises that is a weed fin. I know Maui Ultra makes a couple of very popular weed fins that we use in FL. Love to hear your thoughts on their big Delta fins.
Sick video, looking at buying a few new fins for myself so this helps a bunch!! personally would love to try the Chopper to get my sailing to the next level 🔥🤙
Great effort of such a big range! It would be nice with an analysis of what parameters makes different behaviour, not only depth: thickness, length, area, rake, wing profile... Would like to try the Chopper!
Thanks to you and Michele for the wonderful work. Compliments. Yes, this is definitely a test! I vote for BUG, the production is less than 100 km from my home and I have a couple of these fins. I also have a MUF slalom carbon but after less than a year it broke cleanly at the base while I was surfing 1 km from the shore in off shore conditions😡
Awsome Video A very Good comparison off all the fins. Definitely helped me to decide what fins I should get. The Z fin was the Most appealing to me. All in all a very nice Video and ist was very easy to follow
Whaaat!! 🤗 Full fin test from 2 pro riders!!! You're kidding me!! Amazing treat for any windsurfing slalom rider-lover, well I guess it;s Christmas so thanks guys!

Hello Nico again,

Awesome, because I crashed my "evo slam"
in Leucate last year.
I would prefer the chopper fin.
I saw most of your videos and I think very nice, smart with very beatiful
Pictures in these grey days. Go for it🤙👌
Super Video! Da bekommt man direkt Lust mal wieder Fin-Slalom zu fahren und das Foil am Strand zu lassen.
Well done Nico and Michele, big fan of your channels. Can't wait to try the chopper fin CHC 37!
Without dount the Best Windsurfing review I have ever seen. 2 pro riders giving solid information for People like me. I love it. I have Just bought 4 Z Fins, it seems that I made a good choice as my first carbon fins. I would love to have another Z Fin to add to my quiver, please 😊😊
This is the best windsurf review on the internet…takes the gamble out of your fin purchase. Thanks so much to the entire review Team!
Finally had vacation to watch all the way through. We but Maui ultras slalom weed for the club fins, and I use Z myself for slalom.
Very cool comparison! Awesome companies submitting for these tests as well.
Lots of effort in this video and it shows

I ordered the board from surf center😁 an occasion
Great vídeo again and a brilliant work. Really interesting . I would like to try the Chopper, that looks the winner.
What a tedious but very helpful fin comp.

Thank you for the nice words😊
Wow ! That was a lot of work !! Thank you very much for this really excellent video. I would love to get the Chopper fin.
3 Finnen soll ich bekommen und dafür Versand bezahlen? Ich glaube hier stimmt was nicht. Bitte um Bestätigung von GER7
50 minutes video but still not boring ! I would like chopper fin. Fingers crossed . Merry Christmas
Thx for de video and giveaway Nico and Michele! I would love to try a Chopper 36 fin!

Great video Nico and Michele! Nice to see that Surfcenter has a full comparison overview on their website :) See you around! I would love to try the ChopperFins CHC 43 cm in Deep Tuttle!
Great video, thank you for it. Plus one vote for Chopper fins :)
Very nice and intersting video👌I viewed is in the hospital😢 so I had the time to check the fins.

When will be the draw of the fin giveaway🤙🏻
Great video! I had experience owning ZULU Fins. BUT broke it on the rocks. I tested the Z-FINS - as for me this is the fastest fin I have ever experienced! Very interesting to try Chopper.
Thanks again for the video. Very useful. Just looking for a fin for next season, because. I don't have any right now
The chopper fin 😮😮 very useful video guys! For the average consumer it’s impossible to test all these fins and have an idea what is quality and what is shit. Unfortunately you guys didn’t test the Select Rhino
Bloody brilliant… guys this is so so good.
Really blown away.
This is what the community need proper testing.
Now you have to make another video with all the different foil brands 😜
Really great videos guys. Thanks a lot for this review. I would love to call a chopper fin mine, so keeping fingers crossed to be picked 🤞🏼🤙🏽
Great episode great easy to follow Fin shootout
I have been looking into buying a new slalom fin and this video has helped me get a better overview thanks a lot!!! At the moment im the most interested in the z-fins.😀
I liked this format a lot. It was very informing and i learned a lot. Sou thank you... I would like ton win a Sonntag fin to try it out this summer. It would be a great christmas present 🤗🎄
Merry Christmas
Awesome vídeo testing all those fins!!! Great work and value for us. O would love to have the Z Fin!! 😅 👏👏🔥🔥🚀🚀
Great job! Finally, an informative fin review. Just a pity that other leading Manufacturers didn't supply a fin fir test.
After 30 tears of no windsurfing and started 2020 again, I found out that gear chanched al lot.. thanks for this video which explains a lot about fins i didn't now yet. And why a good Fin is very important to enjoy al lot more..
My favorit is the chopper Fin..
Super Video👍! Interessante Vergleiche. Habe selbst einige der getesteten Finnen (teils andere Grössen). Bei der Tribal bin ich mehr bei Michele bzgl. Kontrolle. Meiner Meinung nach kommt es auch auf die Board-Finne Kombi an. Je nach Board benötige ich eine Finne mit mehr oder weniger Lift.
Bezgüglich Materialqualität beim Tuttlehead bin ich nicht derselben Meinung wie Nico; die Heads aus Carbon sind massiv weniger
wiederstandsfähig als jene aus Glasfaser/Epoxy weissnichtwas composite ( Tribal, MUF, Sonntag, Finish). Reine Carbonheads neigen zur Sprödigkeit, bei zu hartem Anzuehen der Schrauben platzen die deshalb schneller auf.
Danke für den interessanten Test und die spannenden Kommentare👍❗
Ach ja -eine Chopper habe ich noch nie gefahren-wäre geil.....😁 Gruss Andy🤙
Fore sure would like to win the Chopper fin or a Sonntag, theyare way to expensive for me to use on daily basis but would have liked to see a Patrik P-Race fin compared to the carbon fins. Especially now when Michele was joining the test since he is sponsored by Patrik. Great test video by the way..🙂
Very cool to see such an extensive test. What a job it must have been to test everything. Nice to see the differences between the brands. I've been sailing with the Zfins for a few years, great control and top speed for me. So if I win, that Zfin fits perfectly with my gear.
Thanks for the video Nico.
Brilliant, thank you. Not that I’m going to win, but if I did win, I would choose the Chopper fin😀
Finish fins sounds interesting. Always missed more lift with my c-fins especially in choppy conditions. So finish fins for me please. 😊
Very interesting and compromised test with two of the best Windsurfers in the world! Nice video footage in between! Thank`s to Lars! I would like to give the CHOPPER a try.
What a thorough review! I would love to try YOUR favorite fin❤ Cheers 🎉
Thanks for the great test. I use NoLo Fins and of course it would be nice to compare my NoLo with the chopper fin.
Thanks for the video, I have been looking for a fin comparison video and finally here it is and also good to hear it from the right guys. As for me I loved the chopper fin!
Mega Video wieder, das hilft sicher so einigen weiter!
Ich würde super gerne mal eine Chopper unters Board Schrauben!!
What a great video. Like to See more of That! Maybe with different foils? It is a pity that hurricane did Not Send you a fin. After your test i really would like to win a chopper fin! So merry christmas to all of you 🤙

And specific 👏 to michel also, which as also always find the right words.
By the way, having the dual gasoil under my Christmas tree will be 😎 (it could perhaps better match my biggest board of 105l/64 width 😉)
Thank you for that fin test. So helpful. I didn't realize how crucial the fin is to the board's performance. If I win, I'd like the Finish Fin.
Thanks for your review, it's the first time I've found a good summary of most of the fins on the market. Thanks for your video, this will help us to make a better choice. From your feedback, I think everyone would like to try the Chopper, me too 😀
Really Good to see helpful content like this. Thanks Nico. Sonntag looks best for me.
Hi Nico, interesting video, I've had 5 Z, 4 Chopper, 2 MUF and now I have some Tribal .... As for top speed the fins with more speed I've had are the tribal fins measured with gps (Locosys GW60 and Motion), but of course they are not pure slalom fins, now I only have the tribal because I do speed and I'm super happy, comparing them with the Chopper and Z, always with the same equipment I was in +1 knot of speed or even in big boards +2 knots. ... but of course, they are not the best fins to compete in slalom and I imagine you have made a video of slalom fins. It's good to have comparisons because not all of us are looking for the same thing from a fin
Thanks guys for this video. Give is great input in the search for a Nice upgrade of your board. I'll would go for the Chopper.
But I miss the upwind category in this test.
Great comparison. I have some Tribals for weed, and a Zfin. In case of winning would like to try the Chopper 😊
Thanks for the great test and video. Definitely Z, it's the best fin from Estonia
Thank you for the test, that's another great package of windsurfing knowledge! Sonntag seems to be the best for me as I am medium advanced surfer. For sure such fin would help me to develop new skills. I hope one day I will try it!
Thanks for testing! Always nice to see how they perform. I would really love to test the Finish fins and hear a lot of good things about them.
very good test !!! keep them coming!!, I would like the chopperfins one as I already have the Sonntag SL-Pro
nice review.
Also nice that you take the average free racer with you as a reference.
we are not all worthy of PWA.
THNX.
I dream of a sontag in my RRD freerace board.
Hope the rest of the brands will join the next time, would be nice to see the difference
Congrats! I’ve been waiting for this one of the kind, mega review ever since you first teased it. It’s so hard for us plainfolks to find the right fin to our needs! I’d give any of the Sonntag, Finish, Chopper, Z, C or Bug lines a try. I have a glass one that feels too stiff and an smax that is 2cm too long, so a 37cm tuttle carbon would be a great improvement to my middle sized board. I value acceleration and control the most. Thanks for your efforts, Nico and co. 🎉
Great and informative video! I would really like to try out the Sonntag fin
loved the video really informative and love the channel
Wirklich gut gemacht - mit dem Qualitätsstandard und der detaillierten Analyse besetzt Du bei RUclips ein neues Level. Dank Dir. Das hilft. Erinnert mich an früher, als ich im Kinderzimmer immer stundenlang die Surf-Testberichte gewälzt habe... Spitze, wenn ich die Chopper oder Z-Fin bei meinem Fanatic Jag 125 einsetzen könnte.

One of your best videos, thanks. I´m most interested in the Finish First V2 just because I´m Finnish 🤗
Stunning video by professional windsurfers. Cheers for that. The chopper fin is certainly my favourite:)
Ok Nico this is an excelllent review about fins ! I have several MUF SRC since 2017 and for me they are very nice because you can push with your rear foot and there's no spin out. I have buy an ZFINS 37 slms- and i hate this fins, there's some spin out in full speed ans it's very dangerous !!!! A chopper fins could be great for my DH 117 !!!! 😉
Very nice Video. Ím on the Z - Fin in my big slalom Board and very happy with ist. But I like to try a chopper or sonntag in my medium one
Wow!💯 Very informative video! Thank you both!🔥 A 37cm fin is missing in my collection, so i would be excited about the sonntag fin!✌️
Well done Nico and Michele, for such an informative review by two people with such great experience. Having both of you to compare the fins makes the testing so much more valid. I have a Sonntag SL Pro 37 and I would agree that it is such an easy fin to use. I also have a chopper 36 that also agrees with your findings, but I would really love to try the 37 Chopper.
Great video! Starting to get into slalom sailing for 2 years now and like to upgrade from the standard fin, this video gives a clear overview. Would love to try the finish fin!
Thanks for all your efforts in this video. Nico.
Such a helpful video to choose the right fin fits in my style.
I am a beginner of windsurfing so always go out to water after watching your video :)
My choice is Chooper fin.
Thank you for video!
My favorite fin is ERD.
Great test !! If I win I would like either the Chopper, ERD or Z.
Good video. Nice to see someone actually scoring a review like the old days. I would like to try the chopper on my futura. Keep up the good work
Finally a good, personal review of these expensive fins! Would be curious to test the Chopper or the Sonntag fins on a JP Super Sport. Also curious why the other 15 brands did not send a fin...
Good job Nico and Michelle. Isonic and Chopper is my favorite combo.
Thanks for the well made review, it must have been a lot of work. I'm not sure how relevant your conclusions are for the average recreational windsurfer, but it is a start and it's entertaining. I'm still happy with my 3 year old Finish Fast fins, so you can skip me in the draw.
Awesome video! Appreciate the time you put in to give us weekend warriors tips and advice on how much difference a fin can make. Would love to see how a fin can enhance the board from stock fins supplied. Chopper would be amazing to try, or Sonntag sounds interesting! Keep up the good work 🤙
Nice test guys, but still go for the CHR type from Gasoil. For me the best choice in combination with my AV board. Merry Christmass to you all.
Super video. Finally a test where a lot of surfers have been waiting for. I am a super heavy rider 127 kg. Which of the fins would you recommend. I like the finish fins but the chopper is very nice to.
Awesome video . My favorite is MUF so …that’s the one I would like😊
Super test. Nächstes jahr wieder?
Fahre jetzt Zfins aber bin gespannt auf Deine Chopper. Deshalb Chopper.
Mach weiter so !!!
Great video Team, a lot of good and useful information…hard work ( I know that you had good fun as well 😉) always delivers great results.
The whistling BUG is the fin I'd like to own. I really like that feature - I can workout my speed using whistling sound as an indicator
There's also a whistle above 29knots for me, I didn't know it could be the fin! I thought it was the boom or something.
A review of 13 fins, what a work! I have never seen such a large and detailed review of fins, great to see the ups and downs of some fins. I just bought my first medium slalomboard and was looking which fin to buy. The Bug SLEM fin looks my winner😋! Great value for money and the controllability and easy of use I'm looking for. So fingers crossed 🤞
Thanks but as you learned on your visit to the USA weed fins are often a requirement for our locations. It would be great to see a comparison of weed fins to pointers, especially as it relates to the compromises that is a weed fin. I know Maui Ultra makes a couple of very popular weed fins that we use in FL. Love to hear your thoughts on their big Delta fins.
Vielen Dank für den super Test Nico! Würde mich sehr über die Sonntag Finne unter dem Weihnachtsbaum freuen 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Great video. Very informative and you can see you guys put a lot of effort into it.
If I had a choice I’d go with the Chopper Fin.
Great Video 😀
Thank you both to let us now your opinions to the fins....let us go faster and have a lot of fun on the water😀🤙
now I'm looking for a 37 cm Chopper Fin or an Z-Fin
actually I am using very very well working MS-fins...pretty fast
Of corse - I really want to compare my MS-Fins to a Chopper fin
Sick video, looking at buying a few new fins for myself so this helps a bunch!! personally would love to try the Chopper to get my sailing to the next level 🔥🤙
Great video, 37 Sontag would be nice !
Great effort of such a big range!
It would be nice with an analysis of what parameters makes different behaviour, not only depth: thickness, length, area, rake, wing profile...
Would like to try the Chopper!
Thanks to you and Michele for the wonderful work. Compliments. Yes, this is definitely a test! I vote for BUG, the production is less than 100 km from my home and I have a couple of these fins. I also have a MUF slalom carbon but after less than a year it broke cleanly at the base while I was surfing 1 km from the shore in off shore conditions😡
Finish Fin First v2! Great Video!
Klasse Test! Danke euch.
Mein Favorit: Sonntag!
Nice one Nico 🤙🤙 And I'd love to win one of them, may be : Chopper / erd / N1 / Finish (not the deep tuttle ones wich will not fit on my Isonic)
Awsome Video A very Good comparison off all the fins. Definitely helped me to decide what fins I should get. The Z fin was the Most appealing to me. All in all a very nice Video and ist was very easy to follow
You just made a movie about fin testing! Love it 😁 And thanks for having me!
