Hello kiters,

Just wondering what size fins you guys are using on your twin-tips, also what size is your fav.

Cheers

1" that have probably worn down to 3/4" by now.

Fins just help track,

There shouldn't be too much difference between 50mm fins and 35mm fins.

Fins aint Fins - when it comes shape and fluid dynamics... yes even on small fins, same as the large race fins

To prove a point - get any standard fin, then get a well foiled fin. Kick your back foot and see how much force is required to come unstuck.

Youll soon realise most are just a bit of resin sploshed in a shapy sought of thing

Have only ever ridden with 2 fins these have been shaved down to about 25 mm . Takes a little while to get used to but makes the board ride alot loser great for snappy turns, easier on the ankles, could'nt go back to 4 fins again makes a board feel like it's on rail tracks.

bahahahaha


you crack me up

I recon the bigger the fin the more it will hide flaws in your technique. Most boards are sold with oversized fins to make the board easier to sail. Last year I took my fins off to try improve my technique, and it did, it made no difference to the boards upwind ability and made it a bit faster (Probably only want to try this if you have a board with a lot of shape under it). I have now put on 17mm fins again cos it makes landings easier with fins, but I do like the feel without.
