I LOVE testing out new longboard fins. This one is weird.... but in a good way. I surfed the Canzo for many months before making this video and I shall keep surfing it!

Hey everyone! Unfortunately it seems Solofins has gone out of business. I'm hearing from many people who said they ordered fins, but have not received them. However, I am hearing that people are eventually getting their fins. Super annoying. I'm going to continue to try and reach out to the owner and see If I can take over the manufacturing of this fin. I'll keep everyone updated on this pinned comment.

My advice to help the fin feel just a bit better on the nose is to have the back of the fin line up with the back of the board. I find that helps hold but still turn well

@LongboardSessions 9 ай бұрын

I'd say that's a good rule of thumb! For this fin to do that , it needs to be all the way up in the fin box lol

Thanks for bringing that Canzo to San Onofre for me to try. I LOVED it in my Bruce Jones Retro Noserider! It made the board come alive. Have one on order.

Hi Brian, thanks for your beautiful videos, just a quick question. what happened to the Canzo fin..? After watching your test here I've decided to order one, but now the website is gone. Did you hear something about it?

@LongboardSessions 6 ай бұрын

Oh dang! I didn't hear anything about that, I'll reach out to the owner to see what's going on

I did get a email from them about 2 weeks ago and it stated this " Aloha Jack, Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, our small business is not being able to stay afloat in this recession and we're closing doors, for that reason, we're having some delays on delivery. I guarantee that you'll receive your fin. We have the Canzo order finalized, I passing your email to our warehouse responsible who will take care of sending your order. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience." We'll see if ours are delivered. @@JoeSmith-gd8nd

Thank you for the great video! For a 9' 6'' board, which Canzo fin size would you recommend? 9 1/2 or 10 inch?

@LongboardSessions 9 ай бұрын

Thanks!! I'd go for the 10", but You'd be fine with either

@TheGlimme 5 ай бұрын

I tried a pivot, hated it...couldnt drive board around. Tried 4a... couldnt noseride. Eventually gravitated towards Skvarna Equalizer 10.75 inch. Noserides have been incredible. Locked in control on the nose, but still playful in trim and off the tail. very similar shape to the canzo.

@LongboardSessions 5 ай бұрын

Awesome! A lot of this comes down to the board as well. I believe some fins suit some boards better. Also the waves obviously.

Does fin react differently on different size and shape of the board. i.e. narrow tail, short board 8'6, less or more volume, SUPsurf or surfbaord

@LongboardSessions 9 ай бұрын

Oh absolutely. You basically just need to trial and error fins on your board to see what you like

@tonydelima5475 9 ай бұрын

ooOOooo so you brought back a surprise from CA? I'm always sniffing around at innovative board shapes and the Cherry Picker is just that. Totally lookign forward to you comments as you compared it to your Clean Ocean which I'll call more traditional to the CP. What has you loving it ...mainly? And yes NJ is the test bed we all await. Thanks Tony

@LongboardSessions 9 ай бұрын

@@tonydelima5475 Well I borrowed it from a friend in CA, so I didn't take it back with me. But i'd love to get my hands on one over here. I suppose what I loved about it the most was it felt so light and responsive, yet still was a good noserider. But like I said, that was at san onofre.. I gotta test it on our beach breaks haha!

I HAVE A QUESTION!!!!! If I ride goofy and I suddenly decide to go right should I change my stance to regular? Cause I can't pop up regular for some reason, it just does not work for me.

@LongboardSessions 9 ай бұрын

No, always stay goofy and learn how to ride the wave 'backside' . It's hard at first but becomes easier over time. I'm actually better backside than front side now
