Hi all
I just picked up my new Nalu 1065GT, she's a beauty. I know a single fin set up is better for flat water paddling, but will the board track better if I use the thruster fins?
Cheers,

No. In fact if you are only paddling in flatwater the sides are just something else for side currents to hit, detracting from tracking and stability.

No, the sides will slow you down more than the bit of row they prevent.

If you want to track better, use a single fin with a wider chord, on the rear of the box... but most importantly, practice your paddling technique.
