    Best BIG WAVE Fins for the MACHADOCADO? NVS Taylor Knox Wolverine Twin Tested + Rake Fins EXPLAINED!

When the waves get bigger, I usually take out the Revo Max. But with that in the shop on a recent larger swell, I had to make do with the rest of my quiver.And this means the Machadocado was up at bat - though with having issues on similar boards (Too Fish, Mashup) not working the best on proper waves with some juice, I knew one of my  @surfnvs  fin configurations would do the trick.Out of a couple options, including the regular T Knox Arc Twins, and the kinda crazy C-Drive fins - I opted for the Wolverine Twins. These has slightly more rake than their little brother the Arcs, and the back trailer is 1/2 inch further set back than the Arc trailer. So, in theory, better for bigger waves. But I didn't have the best of luck with the Wolverines in the Revo Max - so I wasn't too sure.  @ThomyeSurfs  though has been saying he loves the Wolverine's in his Cado (I think) and he does no wrong and always knows best.Watch in real time (sort of) as I test drive the T Knox Wolverine Twin Fins in the Firewire Machadocado on a few recent, sometimes larger surf sessions - and how they ultimately went. I also have a short segment on what 'rake' truly is for surf fins - as it can be kinda confusing. Shoutout to the NVS crew for really explaining it to me - after all these years, I think I finally get it (kinda..lol).

Using the same general outline as his standard twin but by increasing the rake on the fronts and the moving the stabilizer back 1/2", these will have more hold and control in bigger surf.These will also work well on your standard thruster or a twin that feels a little too loose.Taylor's Arc Series Twins have wide bases, are relatively upright and utilize a hatchet style tip. These design characteristics bring balance to the template. You can expect these twins to be speed generating, offering down the line drive from the take off and through turns. The hatchet style tip will ensure that you can carve and stay on rail through the fullness of your turns. You won’t have to baby your board through the last 1/3 of turns; these fins will help you stay locked in; allowing for more fluid, graceful surfing.Base: 5.04”Height: 5.55”Area: 21.18 in²Rake: 37.5°Foil: FlatMaterial: G10 StabilizerBase: 3.78"Height: 3.68"Area: 10.15 in²Rake: 29.0°Foil: 50/50Material: G10As an Avantlink, Cleanline Surf & NVS Associate, I earn commission from qualifying purchases on the links in the description.#twinfin #nvs #taylorknox #tknoxwolverine #wolverinetwinfins #taylorknoxtwinfins #nakedvikingsurf #surffins #rakedfins #firewiremachadocado #cado #machadocado #surfboards #surf #cleanlinesurf

    Fin Puller Demonstration & Review (Get Your FCS, FUture, & Naked Viking Surf Fins In and Out Eaiser)

    Fin Pullerhttps://amzn.to/4asaEtrOR Grab from Surfboard Broker (where I got mine) https://surfboardbroker.comOk I did another livestream on my first attempt - and I was kinda doing the FCS way (with Future Fins). You can watch that here - https://youtube.com/live/4Fx_rrPY17gNow this DOES work - but I found a kinda opposite way (with Future Fins in particular) that I think works better. Ultimately what I learned - this is a great tool that has a couple functions, whichever way you use it. Essentially it's helping you create leverage, which is an ancient tool used for who knows how long - to move stuff. This works better, however you use it, than just your hands (for sure..)As a Amazon Associate, I earn commission from qualifying purchases on the affiliate links in the description & comments. #finpuller #surfboardfins #surfgear #futurefins #nakedvikingsurf #twinfins #fcsfins #nvsfins #firewiremashup #surfboardbroker #surfing #surf #finpull #liss #livinginsunshine

    271 - Revo Max SUPER Surf Session on a GOOD Day!

    Had the Max out a few weeks back during a big swell and took a slam on some reef. So she had to go to ding repair.Few weeks later, she's back in action on another good swell. And overall still stoked to have in the quiver - I almost rode a bigger, mid length type board. But then I always forget how much board the Max actually is. Feels a lot more than the size it says on it.Thanks Surfline for the clips.#revomax #firewirerevomax #surfing #surfboardrevie3ws #tomo #twinfins #surf #swell #bigwaves #goodsurf #vlog #surfline
