Gold or Black Fin?
Hi Chris,
My 67" MPD came with a gold fin and I've heard something about a black fin some folks are using. If you know about the black fin will you explain the difference in the two?
Are the fin settings the same?
Have you tried a carbon fin from John Horton?
Thx., CD

CD,
The "black" fin is the same shape as Goode, HO, or Connelly. The gold fin has a little more surface area in the back to help initiate tip grab especially in the preturn of the off-side. The numbers are exactly the same except with the black fin we run 0.010 longer.

Re: Gold or Black Fin?
Yes I have tried one. I did not find a significant difference so I have stuck with the aluminum fins. I have seen skiers have great results with the carbon fins that John makes, so if it's working, keep rolling with it!
