my dad and his best mate have been working and developing surfboard fins in the background for many years- this week at the start of the margaret river wsl pro they launched the final production version to the public! first a idea 35-40 yrs ago at the bluff on a surf trip at quobba station- now a reality. I've been riding this final production version for months and its insane! the speed and hold is like no other, definitely the way forward for paddle surfing ,towing and also kiting. the future is here!!!! designed and developed right here in wa, in margaret river. Quobba fins

Hats off to you guys, I'm stoked for you and hope this is economically viable for the market you guys are targeting. Many punters may get put off by price , however once proven this will change as the product builds a legacy..
it will be challenging going toe to toe against fcs etc etc
( sorry been watching to much shark tank and couldn't help myself)
who will be trialling these??????

is there a chunk of footage somewhere to link to of someone shredding the bag with these bad boys???

Spoke to a bloke out at the reefs (Bali) a couple of years ago (might have been your Dad) and he was talking them up hope it all goes well and that they live up to the hype.

It was funny because we both had surfed the same areas over the years but didn't know each other........ we both had a long look at each other thinking who the fu(k are you

I'm never buying a set of future fins or FCS again!!!! I purchased a set of these fins last recently out of curiosity. I've been riding a Firewire Go-fish (twin fin) 40L of late and was having a ball until I busted the fin box.. its still drying... (bloody cove and seconds) it made me go back to my thrusters. I rode the Quobbafins at Rotto in over head conditions using a 6'1 V3 Rocket (~36L) and they were super fast. I was so stoked to be catching dudes down the line. Surprisingly they have heaps of hold when you need it, then when you turn, they release. Its got me buggered how they came up with the idea.... crazy. This arvo I surfed locally and made an effort to ride my black sticks - future fins then rode the quobbafins on the same board and same conditions.... wish I did that earlier.... Definitely a great deal faster than normal fins, **** tins of hold on the face. I'm 95 kg, probably more with a steamer on and I flipping love these things. I have no idea how they work. You should seriously consider these fins, borrow a set off your mate if they've got them..., but make sure you compare them to your normal fins in the same session.

Cheers

Hey Tim, yeah it does read like that, having read it back. I didn't want to write.."yeah sick they're awesome" It doesn't give anyone any info at all, and I've heard that a thousand times from people trying to sell me **** when they get free ****. I paid for mine and I honestly believe these fins are legit and will take over from the current market occupants in time. (if they don't sell out the rights).

Some serious shilling going on here

Any more info available on the CFD work done on the fin design? There is very little information on the page as to how these things are claimed to work.

That's all we need to know.

Not at the prices they're asking

Thank you meltem
A fella with only a few posts jumps on and gives an "honest " appraisal.

to the fellas with the sales pitch....... pick a gent on here with a few hundred posts or more and flick them a set of fins, you will then get some "street cred" and an honest third party appraisal from someone within a "peer group" demographic, no one on here or possibly in the surfing community will procure goods without a "peer group" review.

im in sales by the way and have a doctorate in philosophy, no need to thank me I'm generally lurking around

Thank you.

I'll take a set. Cheers.

I was in line for a "free set" but got ditched for the pros at the Margies comp
i was going to preview and give feedback during my last Lombok trip but alas Pros got em instead....and have heard nothing more

checked back on FB/Messenger from bloke I was gonna get them off
apparently Medina "Shark Boy" got mine......that worked out well!!!!

I can test them on the North Shore at the end of the year & do a blog about them if you wanna send me a set of the futures. See how they go up against my current favourite setup of Shapers S9 sides & a rear solus fin
