THE LUCKY SEVEN

THE ALTERNATIVE SURF CULTURE



After the debut of the nubster fin in New York by the "King", new experimentation and different fin arrays is the rule for Sean Mattison. The drive in this wave slinding vehicles must be unreal. Today the fin combinations due to the help of fin systems are countless. Add more fins and enjoy the ride!

Nubster Fin Tested by the King in Real Time Competition

THE ALTERNATIVE SURF CULTURE




The Nubster fin, as named by Sean Mattison, its creator was the theme of conversation during the  Quicksilver Pro in New York. Kelly has been showing us since the US Open of Surfing that the Quad is the most versatile fin array. He added this small fin to stabilize the tail, add more hold, drive and projection. This seems to be the answer to the Pro's to finally evolve to the Quad. I was amazed about the instant speed and control that the King show comparing to the Thruster's peers. As I told previously the Quad has been tested and shows superior performance capabilities, Bruce McKee kew that 30 years ago and we did not hear him. Facts are the sum of reality and never fails. Enjoy the ride!
