Biggest Wave Ever Surfed

Giant wave season is in full force. 20-30 footers completion was the following week. Some monsters coming up from the canyon this day. What a sunset at the end. Wow.

John John Florence’s big wave quad is pretty similar to Kai Lenny’s R2 Quad set – with the front fin being smaller than the back.

JJF says his smaller front fins are for speed and the larger ones are for control.

Kai says his front ones are for stability and the back are for maneuverability.

If both quad fins used the same concept and are designed by world-class surfers, what makes each unique?

I put them to the test across four different boards and in varying wave conditions, and one came out on top.
