[PT-Patrick Cummins' PC-5 Review]
Patrick Cummins
Born '66 Surfing since age 11 Shortboarder with the exception of those small, lazy summer days when the longboard comes out. Can be found surfing year round at Cracky (Crackington Haven) and other breaks in darkest North Cornwall. Travelled and surfed in Ireland, France, Bali, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, Tobago, Sri Lanka, Philippines & Hong Kong.

The PC-5 fins have exactly the same profile, foil, rake and total area as my usual M-5 fins. With this being the case I have to admit I’m not sure I noticed much difference between them. Having said that, they are definitely a little stiffer than the M-5s and therefore possibly provide a little more drive and speed down the line. I didn’t get to surf them in anything under about 5’ - 6’ and in these conditions they did everything I asked of them and felt sure footed through fast turns. I’m sure they would perform equally as well in smaller conditions.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention that aesthetically they are top, so much so I was reluctant to send them back for other reviewers to try!
