Those do like cool. I would like to find a place locally around here and get some. I also like the idea of having some that are made just for doing slides and stuff.

those look sweet. They say there not for wake to wake if any one noticed that, but im sure for the riders who dont use fins they would work out great.

i think they are a really good idea. I never liked trying to do surface tricks with fins.

What's up with them not being solid? Anyone know what the reasoning is behind that.

I know it is to save weight, but do you think it would create more drag than a solid peice?

foammesh, i think the purpose of them is to have somethign to lock into the slider on certian slides. But with them being hollow, you wont fell it when your riding w2w.... therefore you have the benifiet of them for sliders, and the fell of not having fins on.

in my opinion... due to their thickness... they'll not work like you have no fins on you board but will create some major tubulences... so it will be looser that with no fins at all... i would like to try them though to know how it really feel...

I'm very interested in actually seeing them in person. If they look like I imagine and the cost is not killer I think it would be a great innovation.

i bet the holes in the sides are so when you shove it the water goes right thru the fin instead of holding it back! righteous!!
