thats the picture!!! i will contact Slowie as he's sort of local to me.

I still want a write up on them

Just reposted in gear review section , i think it was taken down as i put the prices on the site

sizes are from 12cm to 28cm , testing so far has been very good and seems you can use a much shorter fin than all the other delta styles without loosing performance , no one has wanted to give the demos back yet so that is a good sign

Bit hard depends where you measure it.
Is there a standard way of measuring rake with a very curved leading edge?????
Along the centre line? At the base? at the tip?

I normally give two rakes for a curved fin, the base and a few centimeters back from the tip, as in 40/60.

I guess it depends what the weed is like, which is the most relevant.

Thanks Mike. Any being used at the Mandurah locations? Cheers Dave

Sammy had a lend of one, but I haven't seen him for a while. But he reckoned it was fantastic. I tried to persuade Chris to take one out in the liptons weed, but he preferred sailing with a more conventional fin in clearer water.

Just measured mine Dave.
With the curved leading edge, it starts at approx 40 degrees, quickly changes to 50 and then terminates at the tip at around 60.

Do you like it Tony? Hows it compare to whatever you were using?

I sail solely on Tribals except for the Drake 58cm on my US147. WeedSpeed & PowerMax. I will be trying a Slalom 46 this summer.

Cheers mate

Here is the graphics I got some time ago from Tribal.

The leading edge is curved, but the base angle is actually over 46 and 47 degrees as you can see, and quickly gets over 50 towards the tip.

The red outline if the Slalom version and the blue is the Speed version (not sure if any of the 'Speed' version have been made just yet but if not they are quite close).




Mark Jordan has stock of the Slalom version now, or on the way and arriving very soon..
Shortest done so far is 12cm. There are a few Slalom 14cm fins out in the wild now and doing quite fast speeds.


This picture is from Mark. I think the top right is a 14cm.

Have used it only the once so far Dave. Bloody impressed mate! Super sticky, heaps of lift and amazingly easy to recover after any cavitation (not that there was much).

18cm Dave. Perfect with the 6.2, 87 and my 80 kegs...

There has been a delay but i expect fins to arrive in the next week to 10 days
