Yep seen them a lot over the last 4 weeks, they've been getting good ride reports. Planning on having a go myself pretty soon

It's a shame it needs to have its own dedicated fin box.
Will slow a lot of people down on trying one.
The alternative is to use one in a board that you don't mind potentionally ripping the box out of on turns and then buying a box from them to have glassed in...if the fin really delivers the performance that they are claiming.
There's been plenty of "greatest fin innovation....etc, etc and so on and so on" new designs over the years so its becoming a hard sell I reckon.
I'm an absolute fin junkie btw.
