Had an absolute blast up the north coast early January - we set my board up with twin fins and small trail fin, mate I left them on surfing two foota's at Gallows [CH] and 4-5 foota's at Wallabie Point [Saltwater] and the bottom hand turns and reos blew me away - the drive and hold were amazing. Funny thing locals were surfing thrusters on C drives at Wallabie, one guy said he wouldn't use anything else! ....

Hi Adam. 

I got the Squadren...AS far as opening the pakcet and having a look goes the fins look great! beautifully made, nice to see a quality product and there really good value when compared to FCS. The Foils on the fins look really nice and I especially like the fact the effort has gone into making an 80/20 foil on the rear quads. Top notch finish and presentation so congratulations on that for sure.

The ride actually feels pretty natural and very similar to my regular set up which is no bad thing as I have spent a lot of time finding sets that work for me. Sizing of the fins felt really good, I usually ride a GPR front and a GX rear and the particular board that I tried them in I had been riding a Kinetics Parko up front and a FCS Rusty rear quad out back

I did not feel a huge difference in the drive but I am riding a pretty big fin anyway. What I did find straight away is that the fins do have good hold and drive but definitely still slide and release like a regular fin but it’s in a really nice controlled way so I would say to anyone looking at the design thinking it might be a bit radical for them don’t discount it as there just as viable if not more so for all the attributes that you would look for in your standard fin....

C-Drive Fins

Posted by Ethan K. on 12th Nov 2010

I find the C-Drive fins really fun to ride to get heaps speed on the wave and also are very responsive when doing different turns and moves. There a great all round fin and would defiantly suggest that you should try them out or get a pair for yourself.

“Hey, Adam, just wanted to say thanks for getting the new fins to me. They feel awesome, heaps of drive and hang in thru speed arcs etc. As you know, I was complaining that my surfing had become pretty stagnate and was finding it difficult to generate speed  (especially in small beachbreaks that are all too common over summer). I guess I should expect that at 42 a bit but since the new fins, I have a renewed energy for surfing, it’s like I am a 15yr old again!! The fins have pretty much turned my surfing around! Even on small days I now feel motivated to get out there and hack away”.

Thanks a million, Flex ‘has been’ Landers.
