July 11, 2008Didn’t Kelly Slater win like 8 world titles with FCS fins?

July 11, 2008Slater’s fins are glassed on and the FCS tabs are airbrushed. Had LokBox been available, I’m sure he wouldn’t have slacked off on the tour those few years, he’d have 14 titles at least.
Go TK!!
Go Marlin!!!

July 11, 2008Slater’s biggest wins were on Simon Anderson shapes with fiberglass glasson fins.

July 12, 2008credit where credit is due: the bonzer-bottom AND the bamboo fins. rail-to-rail surfing requires a template which projects through the fin system. bamboo fins are beautifully crafted and super-functional; but let’s not forget to mention that the newest aspect of taylor’s quiver integrates the bonzer bottom.

July 12, 2008Yeah…Let’s give credit where credit’s due. Boards, fins, and bottoms don’t go anywhere without someone on them…TAYLOR RIPS!
pro surfing still sucks
July 12, 2008On the Billabong website they have all the heats in the video section. Taylor looks superior to the rest of the pack. Joel Parkinson and Kelly Slater look good too. The rest of the pack look chattery and slow. No more herky jerky spider monkey surfing GO TK.

July 17, 2008Looks like FCS still rock. The announcer at the contest said Slats was using plastic side fins and a stiff fiberglass center fin as opposed to the others in the top 8 who all had glass ons.
Knox got Bamboozaled.

July 17, 2008Knox got bamboozled by Tom Whitaker floundering in the lip of Knox’s wave. Why didn’t Whitaker get a paddling interference ASP judges???
