Here is my review: I was back and forth between medium and large fins for my Rocket Wide and my Phantom. The large fins had good drive but were a bit tight. Medium fins were more playful but I lost drive. Also, at 170 pounds, I was right on the line between medium and large. I asked Noel how I could remedy that, and he showed me his Momentum Series Fins because they are specifically designed to solve this problem. And they did! Of course, Noel is likable AND he rips so I'm inclined to be biased. But I can honestly say that I surfed maybe 12 times since I got them (I surf nearly every day), and I was objectively critical of the way they rode. The difference is unmistakable. It's also a "subtle to medium" difference - it didn't change the feel of the boards themselves - which I really like. Even though I live on Oahu and surf everyday (30 years+), my skill level is low-to-middle advanced. I watched most of my friends growing up become advanced/expert and a couple expert/pro, but not me. My DNA must have skipped class or something when God was handing out the surfing skills. But this proves that you don't have to surf like Noel to benefit from this fin design. 5 of 5 stars and I strongly recommend them.

I just got myself the futures am2 honeycomb in large, wide base, rake and back fin is smaller so it still has the pivot as well, does a similar job to the pivot series👍

I just ordered MS-P for my hypto just after watching this and being highly convinced by your explanation. Thank you!

Didactic as usual, a master of explanations. You make it easy to understand, even though english is not my mother language. I hope we have these fins available in Brazil soon. Congrats!!

Such great info Noel, thank you.

bought the 5 fins setup and it's going mental on the D2!

Love my larger T1 fins. The hybrid set looks like a perfect compromise. 👍🏻🤟🏼

That makes a lot of sense.. Thanks master!

Really like your channel. If you organize your videos by playlists, like for examples, place some videos in a ‘tutorial’ group, or ‘groveler boards review’, etc., it will be easier for the viewer to find what he/she’s looking for and you’ll definitely will get more views. . keep the good work!

Great video as always! You mentioned rocker playing into fin choice, which really rings true. I have a Lost Rocket Redux that has a lot of tail rocker, but lower entry rocker. For me, pivot style fins seemed a little too loose in that board but they were perfect in a Tomo Evo with low tail rocker.

I'm dangerously stoked to try these fins and I actually just ordered them in the neutral template for my small wave board and my daily driver. Not long ago, I had actually asked Noel in another comment thread where I could find a fin that "allows me to surf the board as the shaper intended, drives like a large, and turns like a medium". Plus at 170 pounds, I'm right on the line of medium and large. It's crazy that the industry has overlooked this idea. Insano job pioneering this concept Noel - I'll follow up with how they go.

Great explanation

Riding my new MS-N's this weekend, I will try them as a thruster and with the MS-QDP rears. The fin build feels really high quality to the eye and touch. Excited to feel these setups compared to my bottom of the barrel F-6's with shitty plastic sidebites. I will report back and see whether I want to add a full set of MS-P's to the quiver as well!

i hope we can buy them in fcs2 plugs as well thank you for all the tips and tricks !!

I saw a video about Campbell surf board with mechanical spring, would love to hear your opinion

Hi Noel, sick vid like usual Which board would you pick for a daily driver / HPSB program: I72 (PU cause price), ci fever (spine tek or not?) or driver 2.0 (maybe light speed?) thanks you legend

Great review! I am 5'9" but about 190 lbs. I surf beach breaks almost exclusively. You think this pivot fin would be ideal for me? I ride a board with a little more volume these days (36L).

NICE INTRO!

@surfnshow Very cool How do these comper to Futures AMT's with s stabilizer ?

Awesome video bro! Which fcs fin would you recommend for a Pyzelien 2 that is a bit on the bigger side for me (im 5’6-5’7 and it is 5’8) in bowly reef break 2-6ft surf? Im thinking about the performer but maybe reactor is a better choice?

looks good. just out of curiosity, have you ridden the old Tom Carroll TC Aqualines? Those were loose but felt small. Similar, but they had more cant too so when you laid it over the fin was vertical. they had a small center fin also. this makes sense, hope it goes well. TC Aqualine side fin: base 4.50" 114mm depth 4.41" 112mm sweep 32.8 degrees surface area 14.41"/9298mm inside foil

Thanks for your work, Noel. It's super hard to see the outlines when you're holding them up for 2 reasons: One they're mostly black & you're wearing a black tee. Two the checkerboard "dazzle" paint makes them inherently hard to see. I would recommend taking pictures of the fins on a contrasting background & then just drop them into your vid. Keep up the good work amigo.

Great video as usual, I was thinking about buying an nferno 72 from sharpeye would you recommend it?

It all makes sense to me. So ...the 1M USD question is...what about your Fins in a FCS2 version ?

Any chance you will be giving a Pyzel Highline a go? looks like a good board worth testing

Mr. Salas, which configuration on your MS fins will work the best for the Hypto Krypto? MS-P Thruster, perhaps MS-N side and MS-Pivot rears, or MS-P side along with MS-P rears...

Hey Noel, what size Hypto krypto do you ride? I have one but I'm considering getting one with more volume.

Hey Noel could you do some video about high performance surfboard height for very tall experienced surfers like me 6'4" 1/2?

Hey Noel! I Just bought the ms-n thruster and the quad pivot rears for my hypo krypto , and I hope it will work well for all conditions. Do you think it will work better with twin+1 or the quads will do the job?

So what I’m understanding at min 6 is, for a surfer like me how surf in beach break (without time for long carvs) I need for my performers board wider fin at the bottom(for speed) how is going up without a lot of rake(for manoeuvring) am I right? Noel do you have a recommendation fcs2 set for me? I have the power twin +1 that I think it could be interesting to set on my pyzel shadow

Hi, Noel! Is it possible to ship your fins in Russia?

Surf n Djent

Is this dude pinmping is fins ?

i think generally this dogma about pivot fins is only right when they are completely rigid. in the real world they are not and then the most pivot you get with raked template in the back that will twist under the load and act like the rudder from from the boat.
