I would have liked to continue the previos topic ( www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Windsurfing/Review/Tribal-MK2-Carbon-Slalomfin-might-also-be-a-speed-monster?page=1#13 ) but machine says it's too old conversation and better start a new one.
Comparing both the CL2 and the MK2 on the ground, the Tribal seems to have less surface in the mid2tip section and is more raked.
Finish and quality building is a whole new level.
In my few test sessions with the Isonic 72 2021 (using the 37 with the Kar 7.7 and 36 with the Kar 7.0) I noticed the fins have the best part of the CL2 being less demanding for the rider. I agree with previous comment: you may have the feeling you did not score but when you look at the GPS you often may be surprised.
Lot of lift as usual and steady bending allowed.
So far can't really add more comments as i need to be in better shape and sail longer to be more accurate.

I picked up a 2nd hand CL 2 34cm carbon fin, used it for the 1st time the other day, wind was gusting to around 18knts gear 114 falcon 6.6m evo12, at first didn't know what to think about it nothing really stood out but was surprised at the speeds I was getting through the chop in fark all wind(33.68knts max). The real test will come in stronger winds, looking forward to till then.

Before ordering my first bunch of CL2 Chris, to make me better figure, said his fins would have felt as "nothing special". Only after having used other fins you realize what his fins are all about.... p.s. the CL2 34 is my fav in combination with the M? 112 / 7.0 and 25 kts
