bigger guy at 6'1" 225, I'm all about fin selection and experimentation --

I've reall fallen into liking the (futures) AM2 carbon flex, those were magic on my last board before I snapped it

Saw and read up on a newer company, "kinectic" fins and decided to give them a try with my craigslist find (7'4" BESSELL Eliminator), which had FCS so I needed to buy fins anyway.
went with the OCCY signature carbon tune -- so far so good, really like how they feel under "duress" in a turn
Front Fin.
BASE: 116mm
HEIGHT: 116mm
RAKE: 127º

Back Fin.
BASE: 116mm
HEIGHT: 116mm
RAKE: 127º



I've also picked up a set of these, and last few sessions they seem to really work for me: Mick Fanning MF-1

Base: 4.52" 115mm
Depth: 4.67" 119mm
Area: 15.71" 10137mm
Sweep: 33 degrees
Foil: Flat

I *heart* FAT DIMS

I KOOK, therefore I am.....
