Wolfgang, I do appreciate your interest and input. Your fins do look impressive but unfortunately I think that it would be cost prohibitive for me to purchase. Shipping alone would be close to $60....

Thank you both for your advice. It's good information to know that my 145 liter Carve is more similar to the 133 Futura. ie making a move from that board to the 122 wouldn't be a huge difference. ...

I'm an...
