Best Place to Fuel Your Stoke - We love surfboards! And we love Fins! Usedsurf started in 2005 and were the first to do a dedicated used surfboard shop and put the boards online! Since then we have grown to have 700 to 800 boards under one roof. Not to mention a giant fin wall and a ton of other accessories.
We want to share with you the info you need to make your surfing experience the best that it can be! Come by the shop if you are in San Clemente or hit us up via email/text.
Love the show you guys are bringing us all! The best fin reviews out there by far and so much in depth info, you literally saved some of my boards id given up on that were feeling really dull, i was stuck on AM1 honeycombs thinking they were the only fin for me, throwing in a large 3/2 vector set completely brought an epoxy fishy fun board back to life, ditto a smaller similar version with a set of P8’s, you guys got me invested in some stiffer tech flex(John John’s) because me high performance boards were feeling a bit dull not driving through turns in good conditions. I literally have no feedback to give you guys other than if you’re going to go through every futures thruster set’s on the same trajectory you simply can’t improve on perfection! The format is awesome i’m super stoked i found your show, brought so many of my boards back to life after starting too feel dull, keep up the good work!!
@@ianlamb-x5z Wow.... Don't know what to say except you are the reason we do this! Fins make a difference. We know this so confidently that we wanted to share and shine a light on this subject in a way no one has yet. Can't thank you enough for sharing your story. Our slogan is "Here to fuel your stoked" but I have to say...your fueling ours as well...so, thank you. ❤️🤙🙏
I've got the original issue 3/2 with the 4.5 and 4.25 hatchet fins (choose one), and they're buff/light colored,…. thankfully not black. Black is just sheep-dom. I prefer white fins.
@@bonsummers2657 sick...yeah I found and old set as well with the hatchet fin. Cool they are bringing them back and JJF new template is using the concept
I'm 6'4'' by about 188, and the 6'1''' synthetic 84 was too much board, too wide, 20.63'' stock. A Rusty 1984 is only 20''' wide stock. This guy in the following vid has a 5'11'' synth.84, custom, and is only 19.5''' wide, looks way better in surfing than the stock 20''' would, I figure: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-44-SI7ZzJkQ.html
@@bonsummers2657 yeah totally I know what you mean. That's the trick cuz I think sometimes the stock dimensions are too wide for certain surfers. That's when for sure you got to go custom!
Yeah it's in the queue we're supposed to be comparing the H4 comparing it to the kolohe. Just hasn't been that good to surf lately so we're waiting for swell
He was ripping it up. He could have used about 3 or 4 inches shorter on the nose. That concave gave the tail good traction, since it widened at the end.
I was almost selling my new board as I couldn't click with it...tryed pivot, neutral 2+1...none was working as I thought...then srewed these, and i'm loving it. So fast , responsive, made the board light and juicy. Loved them
would you guys ever do anything with the fcs2 h4 fins? they are my favorites for here in hawai'i! so fast and stable. also love the work you guys put into these vids!
Oh sick so you have 2 different templates working together? I haven't done that in a long time but I used to roll the DHD large with a medium performer center on my small wave boards and that worked sick....thanks for sharing your fin set up!!!
The differences you were pointing out were almost all actually differences between PU and EPS foams, not the resins like you kept saying. Polyester resin is objectively worse in every way than epoxy resin other than it being slightly cheaper. It's weaker, stiffer, more brittle, and doesn't last as long. If you prefer PU boards then get PU glassed with epoxy resin.
Yeah it's such a good idea...I know Hamish graham and rusty do that on the regular. I agree, epoxy resin is superior. Epoxy is definitely more expensive. Thanks for sharing the knowledge!!!
Great video.. being from florida the waves you surfed in that first session would of been considered going off... minus the wetsuit of course.. thanks haus🤙
If I was going to buy the quads, i would get the kid size green 💚 I just think you can size way down if you have 4 fins...am i wrong? The twin plus 2 makes sense
@@thebluewren in some ways that's true. It does however depend on two things. If the quad fins are placed closer together or further apart...and if the board has more tail rocker or is flatter. More tail rocker sometimes you need bigger rears (relatively speaking) to create drive since there is more curve in the tail....and vise versa. Best rule of thumb is get the size of quad rears that are relative to your weight...small, med, large. Or go experimental when the idea that you mentioned like two big twin fins into super smaller quad rears.
