Fine starter fins
of Samuel, Blue Tomato Shop Utrecht, Blue Tomato, 13 May 2020
I used them in Dutch surf, in rough conditions. I really like the material, the sturdy flex and the FCS II system; I keep checking to see if I've lost a fin but this really doesn't seem an issue with these fins. Once they're in, they're stuck. They provide the hold I need during surfing but I can tell that a stronger, thinner hard-plastic fin would give me slightly more speed down the line. The skatey feel is nice, unless the wave becomes very big or very choppy, in which case you get the feeling that you're sliding around a bit once you stand up.
All in all fine fins for most conditions, they're especially good as a combination with groveller boards or foamies as they can take a punch. If you're looking for really high performance, these softies aren't for you however.
