What you need to know before buying fins

Doesn't it seem like there's a million different types of surfboard fins available? How do you know which ones are best for you?
I cruised to ET Surf to visit with Daniel Del Castillo to see if he could simplify things.
Thanks for watching! I'm Brad Jacobson and I'll sea ya on the sand.

ET hands down the best surf shop in LA. Great selection and awesome staff

We rolled up, and waited at the light - N/B PCH and Rustic Cyn. The owner of the surf shop ran in, grab me a fin, and we settled in cash, with perfect timing on the light. In and out - support your local surf shop. Thanks, Brad !

Daniel Del is a great surfer, and gives a great tutorial here - fins and fin materials are very important

You should have a part 2, go to futures and fcs and learn what they have to say also.

Sea Shepherd honeycomb vectored keels radically changed a board I didn’t like to a board I love.

What's the effectual difference between Vapor Core, Legacy, and Alpha fins?

Fins go on the bottom of the surfboard.

AM1 large, the man is right. All other fins are glitchy.

Hi, what center fin size you recommend for minimal ?

[TromboneAl]

My realator recommends an intregal, nucular, netural fin.

Have you had experience with Scarfing Fins?

How's the guy that uses AM2 honeycombs in everything?

All the pros use 'em, so, I use them in every condition and in every board. 😂
Dude is missing out...

I bodysurf, skindive, and SCUBA (in the past) - I thought this video was going to be slightly different - silly me 8-P
