I have spinout problems with one particular setup - 93L Futura, 6.5 Overdrive and MFC SL36. I have noticed that with a borrowed 32-3cm weedie (thanks Bigdog and Bender) I have no problems at all with spinout yet with my own fin I have troubles. It's a bugger when I'm going broad on a speed run and all of a sudden it gives way.

The SL has a fairly narrow outline - I am wondering whether it might be that the weedies (e.g. 33cm Choco) are just bigger in area so I'm getting more grip? I would have thought a 36 was big enough for this set up (stock is a wider 34 Drake Freeslalom). Or is it more likely a technique issue - e.g. stance not compensating for different location of centre of effort.

Anyone else got an MFC SL and have comment on their performance?

am a great fan of mfc fins the sl models light to hi-winds real great no spin-outs unless i really push hard on the back foot to go upwind in flukey to gusty conditions..maybe your stance paddymac is making the difference a 36cm on your setup should be ok

Have a couple of the RCs for the bigger gear and very happy with them. Also just had a great session on the 32 SL with very few spinouts and none while going broad - go figure! Must be the stance... more practice required Thanks for the feedack guys.

to do a bit of answering my own question .. After a particularly good 30kn catapult I trashed my dakine speed seat and bought a new prolimits seat harness. All of a sudden things clicked - no spin out, could get the front leg out straight easier, load up the fin better, board trim sooo much better. My assessment - the prolimit has the hook really low, the dakine was too big for me and always rode up (chest harness height) - thought I had harness commitment, obviously didn't! Happy camper .

Bit of a tangent here, but...anyone used the MFC weedburner?

It appears to be quite narrow, similar to the SL, and I'm wondering if that would hinder its performance?

I'm on the lookout for a fast weedie to use on my Manta 59 when powered up on the 6.6 or 5.8 Koncept and haven't come across anything suitable yet. Choco weedie is only available down to 33cm in tuttle box. Also heard good things about Lessacher, but the website was down today.

I've got a Select weedie 24cm, but so far I've destroyed two bases trying to wedge it into the (admittedly tight) box on the Manta. Time to get out the sander?

Cheers Nebs, thats the size I was considering.

Sounds like the perfect fin for my next Hardies outing!

Did you get it from Windshack?

Yep Pointman, from windshack, Alberto seems like a nice guy to deal with.

Ring up first to make sure he's got one in stock.

Regarding speed, the guy I outpointed beat me soundly downwind, but that's usual for him... I haven't tried it enough with other fins to get a good handle on whether it's quick downwind or not. Seems like it's got quite a sharp leading edge which I think is good for speed.

You're welcome to try mine whenever you like. I'll be at Peli Pt thisafternoon if you're keen.
