Excellent fin for the $
This is a good fin when compared to sets costing $100 more, and is probably the best fin you can buy anywhere near the price it sells for. Size-wise it is between the FCS g3000 and the g5. I bought this to use on a 5'8" Tomo Vader which I snapped and repaired (but lost the futures Stamps front fins in the chaos). I also tested it on a 6'1"x19"x2 3/8" Proctor G4 (hpsb) in chest to head high surf in north San Diego. I'm 35, I've been surfing for 20 yrs, and I weigh 185lbs. I found the Ho Stevie fin to be flexible and responsive. It is thin compared to the other fins in my quiver (Stamps, True Ames Lost, AM1), which reduces drag. Because it is thin and small yet snappy I think it would be an excellent summer fin. It does not generate the same explosive speed when pumping that honeycombed foil fins can, but it is more than adequate for average to good surfers. I'd recommend it for waves in the knee to head high range; in surf larger than that you would want a bigger fin. At $25 per set it is an absolute steal of a deal. Thank you Stevie for providing a great product at a smoking price!

Great Fins, Great Surfing, Great Guy
I was in San Diego for vacation during Thanksgiving break when I lost one of my thruster fins. I was pretty mad because it cut my session short by about hour and a half, but I wasn't too mad because it was just a cheap Shapers fin that was too small. Anyways, I came home from the trip and was going to be surfing Bolsa Chica that Friday and needed some fins. I stumbled across these and bought them.The fins came in the next day (I selected same day shipping) and I was stoked. I got them out of the bag (which came with a surf key that was too great) and put them right in my board. They fit perfectly. No sanding needed. They've got a decent amount of flex to them which I liked. They surfed great that session.Steve (owner of Ho Stevie) is an awesome guy. He responds to questions on instagram, he's got a wicked youtube channel, and he sent me a bar of eggnog smelling wax :DOnly things that could be improved: Have different sizes of fins. (I'm 5'11 200lbs so these fins are a little small for me) Have more color selection. And honestly the fin key was a nice gesture, but it kinda sucked.

Great Value & Construction
Ordered these for my new 6’2” grovler. They are a no frills fin but I knew that going in. Solid construction and hold their place well within the fin slot. I am a shaper and order lots of fins and these guys are typically my goto. If I lose one or need some more it’s too easy and cheap for me to order some new ones. I will continue to order! I am really impressed with hostevie products!

Great fins
I haven't had the chance to use these yet and I'm new to surfboarding but here's what I can tell you. The middle fin mounting end is shorter than the side fins. In all likelihood, your mid-fin box is the same. One reviewer claimed to have to sand one down, but that is not the case with these. I also like that the side fins are pre-canted. I expected I'd have to force the fin boxes to lean to the side when I install them.

Perfect
These are great. They are a great set of fins for cheap. I'm sticking them in a foamie that has Futures boxes. Should be a perfect set up. They come in a handy pouch, too. Go buy a set the shred. Ho, Stevie!

Good build quality; comes with wrench and screws
The quality was very noticeable when taking these fins out of the bag. Also, I was pleasantly surprised to see that there was a wrench and screws included for the fin boxes (I got futures fins). Thanks!!

Good fins but no strong enough for kiteboarding
Good fins but no strong enough for kiteboarding, since you end up close to shore and scraping the bottom every now and then. My other fin set was 4 years old, with a lot of damage but still usable. These fins did not last at all. I broke one of the fins in my second session, and the other one broke during my 3rd sessions with these fins.

Buy Ho Stevie! Don’t be dumb.
Great fins! I put them on a yard sale 5’10” hypto krypto, now I’m shredding everything in sight! Before these fins I was a total kook......now I own the line up. People constantly mistake me for JJF now! Put these fins on anything.......and magically you will rip too!
