    ITS ALL ABOUT $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ! Surfboard manufacturers have people called 'sanders' . They get paid by 'piece rates' . If you lined up 5 boards with plugs and 5 boards with 'glass-ons' , they're going to walk straight pas the 'glass-ons' and do the plug boards . Then you have the surf shops . Do you reckon they would be happy if you took out FCS/Futures fin sets for $130 . They take up no shelf space and are high turnover items . There is way more to say about the physics but anyway you look at it , removeable fins are here to stay .

    • @used_surf
      @used_surf Місяць тому

      Yeah supposedly. Have to mess around with them some more. I think if you're riding close tolerance to weight board then you're using your rail and your tail more for control. I did try it on a wider tail board with a little bit more volume and the narrow tip seem to lack some drive at the end of cutbacks. So I would have to agree with the higher tail rocker narrower tail theory.
