That board looks like a banana. Walk forward on that nose and you would bog down and stop.
Fin looks interesting though.

For the same reason you don't walk up and down on your car while driving it.

Are you Bob or just a McT groupie?

Thanks for the offers regarding free fins... remember the story of the little red hen?

I'll be offering fins at the wholesale price ( usually only for shops for 6 or more fins) to all who want one for three days only during the Surf Expo, that's the 9th 10th and 11th of January, just keep an eye on matrixsurfboards.blogspot.com/ if interested. Fins will start at AU$63, no minimum order quantity.

Hi Roy,

I have always found your 'left of centre' ideas interesting as you clearly believe in what your attempting to achieve and have the balls to put the ideas out there regardless of the crap others put on you - and I've seen you floating around forums for many years now.

Good on you for your passion and putting those ideas on paper and through a construction process. Most of us have ideas but they never leave our head let alone making them happen.

Now...these fins - can you give us your thoughts on why and how they may benefit us and why we'd replace a perfectly good centre fin with one of these ?....I get that you have a lot of technical insight into what this fin may do (aerodynamics etc) however, in simple language, they why's and how's.

I'm sure there's a link somewhere with all this information but clearly we are lazy and quick to judge so a 'sell' by you here would be a good way to see us at least contemplate a purchase.

Stay stoked (I'm sure you will without my say so).

Chris.

....and this fin is SWEET.

Hi Chris,

That Star Fin certainly is sweet, it's from Noel at Revolution.

Regarding the Warp Drive Spitfire fins the first thing to note is that they are not flex fins, so if a board requires a flex fin ( e.g. a 'hull' with a fin box placed far forward) then the Warp Drive probably isn't ideal.

The fins offer loads of drive and hold, with a drag reduction, all in a compact shape. I started with the spitfire plan shape in 1994 on 70's singlefin derived boards in the 7 foot range and have been using them ever since in boards of all sorts of shapes and sizes. They feel direct and crisp, with excellent control. The leading edge bumps have improved the response dramatically.

Here's CT from Maine who received his fin ( an ABS prototype) a few days ago:

"Surfed a cold and windy chest high beach break this morning before the cold set into my bones.. Rocked the blef fin on this hp veneer long board of mine, it holds down the line damn well. The drive from a hard pivot bottom turn is nice too, much more power than the wimpy raked single fin I've rocked on this board in the past."

Any video of you using one on a board that's not the size of an oil tanker or on a wave over 2 foot?
