For example, you can look at your favorite thruster set and add two quad trailers to it, and the trailers look just like the front two fins but smaller. Quad fins are, just in general, inspired and designed in the spirit of thrusters.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut at the time I was riding a keel fin in my Go Fish, and since I had no history with quad fin sets prior, I began designing a quad fin set for the Seaside that used a twin keel set as a starting point, not a thruster set as a starting point.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat I landed on is a quad set with the same drivey, basey feelings of a keel fin set, designed specifically for the Seaside, but it also works in any quad fin board you put it in. It’s the best of keel fin feelings, distilled into quad form for any quad shape you ride.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eToday, this new and updated version of my original quad set was improved to create more of a balanced and all-around performance characteristic across a variety of different surfboard shapes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe front two fins are slightly more raked back than the original, and the two quad trailers are slightly more upright than the original.

Basically, they looked like plywood that someone cut out and foiled; they were beautiful. And that's what originally sparked my imagination as far as fishes and keels go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI got into experimenting with variety of fish shapes shortly after and that was when my approach towards keel fins really started.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMy focus today is on having a blend of performance interwoven into the traditional feelings of a keel fin set. For example, I've moved away from super wide bases and towards more curve in the trailing edge. Overall, my goal with this new fin set today was to find something that gives you all the positive sensations of having a traditional keel, but toned down so it isn't so trackey and drivey - I wanted something that would loosen up and liven up in the pocket when you want them to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhat I love most about this new fin set is the way it holds a line and feels locked into speed sections, but it also pivots off of a track and livens up in the pocket when you want to. A lot of this comes from the way I designed the foil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI designed this new fin with the Too Fish in mind, but also with the intent to make something so versatile that it can work in any twin fin shape you like. To be honest I've been riding them in the Sunday a lot as well as the Midas, and also in some twin fin step ups I've been experimenting with recently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe lesson I've learned over the past year of developing these fins is that there are more uses for twin fin keels than we think - so get creative. Don't be scared.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eVery happy with how these fins came out and I'm stoked to see them at Surf Shops everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eHeight : 132 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eBase : 167,5 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eAREA : 16'000 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Firewire","offers":[{"title":"Single Tab","offer_id":52127361368293,"sku":"FFKL000-ONE-2-KEL-3PNT-P","price":179.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/7543\/0073\/files\/Machado_Keel_LTD.png?v=1787170980"}],"url":"https:\/\/aus.firewiresurfboards.com\/collections\/pairs-with-seaside-gallery.oembed","provider":"Firewire Surfboards - Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
