Why Power Twins Work on Harley HIHP Boards
The FCS Power Twins are specifically designed for high-performance twin fin setups that need extra drive through turns. Jacob's experience on his Harley HIHP proves this combination delivers exceptional results. The Power Twins' upright template with moderate rake generates incredible speed while maintaining control - exactly what performance longboards like the HIHP demand.

Jacob's setup revelation came from adding the 3.5" Hawaiian top chore fin as a trailer. This small stabilizer transforms the Power Twins from pure speed machines into controllable performance tools. The compact trailer provides just enough stability without killing the twin fin's natural drive and looseness.

Jacob tested this setup in typical Hawaiian 3-4 foot conditions - the perfect testing ground for fin performance. His results: "holding super good top to bottom." This size range challenges fin setups because waves lack power but still require control for critical sections. The Power Twins + 3.5" trailer combination provides both speed generation and stability.

Jacob initially hesitated: "I was doubting it because I'm not used to changing my fins." This resistance is common among surfers who stick with familiar setups. However, his experience proves that expert fin recommendations can unlock board performance potential that remains hidden with stock configurations.

Jacob emphasized the setup's "top to bottom" performance - surfing terminology for maintaining control throughout the entire wave face. This indicates the fin combination provides drive in the flatter sections while offering hold in steeper, more critical areas of the wave.

As Hawaii's surf authority, Hawaiian South Shore understands local wave conditions and optimal fin performance. The shop's recommendation to Jacob demonstrates their expertise in matching fin setups to specific boards and surf conditions - knowledge that comes from years of testing in Hawaiian lineups.

Wave Size and Fin Setup Correlation
3-4 foot surf represents a critical performance range where fin choice dramatically affects board function. Too much fin creates sluggishness, while insufficient fin causes loss of control. Jacob's setup hits the sweet spot for this size range on performance longboards.

Performance Longboard Fin Setup Guidelines
For surfers riding Harley Ingleby HIHP boards or similar performance longboards: consider Power Twins with small trailers for 3-4 foot conditions. This setup maximizes speed while maintaining control - essential for progressive longboarding in moderate surf.

As Hawaii's premier surfboard and fin experts, Hawaiian South Shore combines decades of local wave knowledge with professional fin fitting experience. Their recommendations like Jacob's setup prove that proper fin selection transforms board performance and surfer confidence.
