NEW Machado Too Fish Keels: Do They Really Work With Any Board?

- Are the NEW Too Fish keels better than the original? Will they truly work on any board?
I recently bought Rob Machado’s NEW keel set and tested them on a variety of boards so you don’t have to.
Did they make any difference? Are they worth your cash? And should you ditch version 1 and just go for version 2?

This is the best fin review video I've ever seen. Congrats.
Thank you. I really appreciate that feedback.
@blinksurf provides incredible analysis and detail. Not just the typical board/fin review that is "oh yeah...this goes great everything from knee high to quadruple overhead and is best for beginner through to pro surfers..." 😄
@@thestow35 🙌 Thank you.
Thanks for that, change the fins and you change the surfing sensation...whats best and whats worst is totally up to the individual....and what if the fin boxes are 1/4 inch forward or 1/4 inch back of where they are?..that changes the sensation....EVERYBODY is guessing...Sure the research is done according to a particular shaper, but he doesn't surf exactly like me or you...its all abstract, all surfboards work as do all fin configurations...surfing conditions and locations change as well....the whole DESIGN issue is every different shade of grey...lol...I appreciate your effort and observations, keep it coming....😀
So true. Thank you. As a non-pro surfer, my sensations may or may not be useful to others. Making these videos leads me to discover new things so that is enjoyable. 🙌
thanks for a very thorough review. I demo'd the version 2 on the new Too Fish and found them too stiff for my front footed style. Which is rather strange since I loved version 1 on the GoFish. I actually hated the GoFish until I put Robs Keels in them. They didn't work with the K2's and I didn't have any other fins to test. Anyways, it is an interesting point you make regarding more pivot fins on the board with ticker rails, the sjs example.
This could explain the Too Fish issue since it is ticker and fishier than the GoFish. The worst part of fin selection is that I think I have it figured out and then a particular board throws it all off. LOL Glad I have kept all my fins, it at least allows me to switch it up and keep learning.
I never loved the K2, they felt too small for my bulk. Such a great point about keeping your fins because as you mentioned each board behaves differently! I've got a few hybrid twins now so I am comparing the best 8 in the next video and pairing them with the boards they work best in. Thanks for the support Thomye🙌
Mickey February Twins Captain Fin are the best. Have the best of both worlds. A mix from an Up right fin and a regular keel. Just perfect
They have been a wonderful fin!!! I love them. 🙌
I just ride T1's in my 5'2 too fish. It surfs like a short board and I can actually turn the board hard unlike with keel fins.
That sounds nice and balanced. Asher Pacey seems to be able to do that as well. I'm quite heavy so I do notice sliding on those small fins.
Thanks for this. In summary V1 is really crap and V2 is still crap but slightly better than v2. My hypothesis is…get something else 😂. @blinksurf you should try a Twinzer fin surfboard, either True Ames twinzer (Futures) and or the Panda Twinzer fins (FCS2).
You nailed it! - I have some Ryan Lovelace Twinzer fins to try. I am in for surfing twinzers
Great review. Would love to know how these compare to the Rasta quad set
You and me both! I di have the RASTA Keels - check the difference instagram.com/p/C7YycASyep4/?img_index=1
NVS Kraken Volan flex with my thunderbolt 6’8 Sunday, is the best setup I’ve ridden below head high..Not sure once above that though…V2 or CC’s?..
the Kraken are smaller and stiffer so I'd stick with them for heavier waves. They should be amazing.
I would like to know the weight of the fins, i found some glass fins are so heavy you can notice it in small waves on a small board but like you say on a bigger heavier board and day it could be better.
Too Fish Keels are 213g. I'll add weights in new videos thanks for the suggestion.
Use the machado keels in the seaside
I'll try it
great review. I have tried these fins, too, and haven't been impressed by them. definitely not very lively...and not as drivey as some other keel fins. maybe the best of both worlds actually = worst of both...? :)
Oh that's really cool validation for me thank you for sharing this. Yeah, there are better fins out there. I'll continue to share my finds as they come through. Once you get the best fins the ordinary ones don't do it anymore.
