Couldn't post this in the existing thread on Chris Lockwood fins.

I know the Chris Lockwood Tribal Weedspeed fins have a very good reputation here in WA (& no doubt in the rest of Oz), Stroppo was had a huge grin on his face after using one down in Albany. The only issue being that sailors who sailed in very heavy weed conditions felt they needed re-boxing with a bit more rake added to shed weed a bit better.

Was just browsing the Tribal site & noticed that may no longer be necessary as there is now a Tribal Superweed with more rake. Looks like Chris has listened & taken on board that feedback to provide a fin more suitable for those conditions, good stuff

Anyone have an answer to this? Is it 45, 50 deg or somewhere in between?
also thinking about a BP 50deg weedy for Albany and Fangy's. Anyone have any experience with them?
Vector fins state they can do a custom angle, so a 48 Vector WS might also be interesting, though if it's just a raked back 45 it might be too thin for its width??
Nice to have a choice of quality products out there
