Aways worth trying them. Faster, more drive, tighter turns off the top.....need I go on?

Thanks Tang, I have a set on the way!

Do C-Drives make fins that fit a Futures box? I checked their website but just saw them in the FCS system.

Not yet, but they were thinking of it. Just contact Troy: www.cdrivefins.com/pages/Contact.html

Salut colas, please what C-drive fins size do you reckon to my 78kg and my homemade shortSUP as the last red one or my next minion type 7'27"90liters as shown here

I weigh the same as you and ride a board very close in both size and shape. I've been running the medium C drives in a quad and really like them. And Colas is right. Troy is a VERY good guy to do business with

I asked Troy and he said November for futures. That was a few months ago so not sure if that is still the case but I guess it does mean they will be coming in the near future.

Let us know how they go Loz. Just picked up my 2015 8'2 on the weekend so will be interested to see how they fair.

I use the sizing chart: www.cdrivefins.com/pages/Sizing-Guide.html
In your case this means M, like Reprobate said. I use XL. A 85kg friend is loving his M. I think you can undersize them a bit, but not oversize: I use L when I want a bit more looseness, they still have plenty of grip.

For the rear quads, QS or QM depending on the kind of "stiffness" you like under your rear foot. I use QS in small to medium waves, QM above.

The ultimate C-Drive quiver would be a thruster + quad set, and the twin+trailer set, for a "simmons-ish" ride with twins in the rear quad positions, great for wide tailed boards in non-hollow waves. And the small trailer is great for a 5-fins or 2 1/2 configurations.
At the least I recommend a thruster + quad set to try them out.

I have put the c-drive twins to replace the keel fins on my 6'10" Simmons SUP, and they provide as much grip, but noticeably better acceleration and "squirt". The keels were kind of holding back the board on fast waves.
