Is anyone using the 4WFS (Four Way Fin System)? I'm going to be building a board soon and it looks like the best fin system that I've ever seen. What do you think about it? Is it popular in Australia?

Thanks

I built to me one SUP 8'6" twinzer and to my son an sb 5'10, using 4WFS.
I think it's a good fins system as its self, because slight adjusting make large differences and able to set up board/fin together without selling the whole thing to try an another board. this system is reliable and easy to use. Very clever system.
This said, i will not use anymore on SUPboard because tail's SUP are so wide and make board very loose even with no cant, nor toe. So i use to fix my fins parallel to the stringer with a bit of cant under 5?.
Still can be use to fin adjustment around total 5mm forward or backward , not enough to a SUP dimension proportion. OK to sb.

Kami - I don't understand why using 4wfs wouldn't be good for wide tails when you can set your fins anyway you want with some cant, no cant, zero toe, or some toe. If anything, it seems that with all the options available with 4wfs that it would make more sense than any other fin system. What am I missing here?
