Hi FW,

Yes, lots of new fins around at the moment which is great for FW.

Check post #23 on this link for some comments about the fins people were using:

And also the official equipment list for the event can be found at:

Nobody used the new F2 at the event; only the 162 and Gaastra boards. Steve probably would’ve won, whatever board he used so its hard to say at this stage whether the Gaastra or Starboard is faster - both are on par at least.

If you have any more questions just shoot me an email to seanobrien[at]aus120.com.
