Other Thoughts: Comparing them to the stock composite fins that came with it, these fins definitely gave my board a little more drive in the pocket and they allowed for more release of the fins. I really like the skatey feel they gave my board, I wish VB's waves didn't suck so much. lol Thanks, Andy
