Hey , what fins could i go for on my PSH 10.6 this is my currant set up.Keep in mind i am a bit of a kook but think im at the stage i can progress with my surfing, ive found with this set up i can do long drawn out turns and it holds its line really well in bigger surf but i would like a bit more turning power in smaller waves.Also as it is its almost impossible to turn mid board expecially when i move forward to generate some speed.

Cheers

That's a lotta' fin.

I'd go for a smaller centre fin for starters, 7incher or so and more dolphin than raked, and smaller side fins if possible to source-if not then the closer you have them (push the centre forward) the looser-may spin out if pushed too hard-just give it all a go.

Is that a custom PSH?

You don't have heaps to choose from cos you have fin boxes allround. Like said above, I would stick with your side fins for now and just throw like a 5" or 6" center fin in. This should help you progress for now then look at getting better side fins(hard to tell but to me they look plastic?).

Loco and tortise are on the money. I've got a PSH 10'AA and have gone from an 8" dolphin down to the 7 incher and its definately better. Get smaller side fins if you can, but if the surf is small or fat take them out - gaurantee you wont miss them!

Beg to differ bigger sides smaller back fin is better. AA has a reAlly good set up at a really reasonable price. Heads of good fin threads on the zone.

Hey Teatree, great to see my first 10'6 has been well looked after!


You can make that board feel new with a 6.5-7" Dolphin fin like the Fluid Foils or FUTURES Performance and the Shapers Mick Fanning sides - SMF Medium.

Side bites with an inside foil also help these bigger boards to feel loser when there is not much juice in the wave. I might have a set lying around so PM me if you are interested.

Keep the pink beast alive!

Loco, these are the original hand glassed boards that came out in 2007/8.

These are the first PSH boards we ever rode and they blew our minds - I know, I would say that! But seriously back in 2007 all we had to choose from was 11'6 barges or 10'6 mal-style boards. These are the boards that established Blane as a highly sort after shaper and will become collectors items one day IMO.

They have Futures sides, so I eat my words Teatree, you will need futures side bites.
Run with what you have and put a nice 6.5" fin centre in and see how it goes.

PM me if you need any more info.

I've got one of those original PSHs 9'6", riding it with a 6" centre fully up the front of the fin box, and future vector sides. It goes great in 4-6 ft in Margaret River. I've also got a 10'6" PSH with a 7" island style fin and occy sides.

AA had some good advice call him and have a chat.

True, I thought I was looking at 2 small white fin boxes. I have future fins in my 6' twinny and they go great!
