I'm just wondering what fin set ups you're using on your 10.5? I've started off with a 10" Tak pivot fin, but it's seeming to make the board a little sluggish, not so much on the wave as just getting around to get a wave. I just figured it'd be better for noseriding. But maybe other options are just as good, in an all-around sort of way. Ideas? Suggestions? Thanks!

has it got the plastic fcs thrusters.....try glass ones instead, with concave...

same prob with my JL, tried some decent fins instead of the placky ones and it made a difference...but reverted back to plastic coz i'm a skinflint.

providing cheapo placky fins with boards that cost a mint

i'm using FCS G5's as side fins(didnt come with any when i got it new, now that i think about it).

Im not a fan of the flimsy plastic drake fin so i am using a old 22cm wave fin (Kinetic). Works unreal. Decrep has just lent me a small(same as side fins) middle fin to try. i am hoping it will losen the board up even more and act like a true thruster set up.

mine was left out of the board shipment and starboard has been ssslow in getting me a replacement, so i've been left to noodle fins around on my own.

there is two types of drake fins. one's plastic and the other is some kinda glass setup with a coating
