That is till it touches.. Even in soft sand those fins grab and bring you to a stop.. Very nice fins though..

True you just need to make sure you stay in deeper water to avoid the board coming to a stop and you carrying on!

I went A over T today with that stupid Naish Glide fin.. I was cruising along in the shallows at the end of our DWer and what I thought was thigh deep soon became knee deep and the tip touched the sand when I didn't expect it.. Instant faceplant.. Pretty embarrassing.. I also found the board railing up at speed in a way that windsurfing boards do when you are using too big a fin in strong winds.. I hate pointer fins for anything but going up wind.

The fins are designed for racing so they are not going to be as laid back to use as something more curved but then if you want to be fast then a pointer is what you need.

I can vouch for the FCS.
Was lucky enough to buy my local fcs rep's (thanks Pete) sample and finally got to give it a red-hot trial yesterday in one of Melb's famed 30-40 knot DW'ers.
It transformed my Fanatic 14 and despite my light frame (70 kgs), I can now easily trim my board on short frequency runners!

Which particular fin by fcs are you referring to?
I'm after a fin that tracks well for DW'ers
