Jethrow NSW 420 Posts	Posted 16/06/2012, 3:59 pm Hi All My new flat water board is nearly finished (photos later) and I need a good starting point for the fin. What size would be good for a 4.8m flat water only board. Because of my sailing background I'm only looking at an upright style fin so if you could limit suggestions to this style. Can you go a lot smaller for just flat water as compared to a DW fin? Thanks

Here's a selection of my favourites, depending on my mood and the conditions: ( I like fins )
