Hi Julie.. Welcome to the Breeze.

Do those long base fins hang off the side/tail of the board.. do you have a pic of them on a board.. and how did they help?

As I had never surfed before I found it hard to stay up in the surf, but especially hard to turn onto an oncoming wave. These larger fins seem to help with this when I took out the centre fin.

No photo of my board as yet, but there are some on the website I bought them from

Check the website mate, they have pics of the fins fitted.

Dont know how they would help you turn tho, they look stiff to me.

Also interesting that the site says that they help with turning.. and also help with paddling straight.. I would have thought one or the other?

Oh yeah.. I just scrolled down and saw the pic (drawing).. I think they've gotta stiffen the board up and the only way I can see them helping with turning is taking the center fin out. (like they recommend) .. I'm not sure if I like the way they hang off the rail of the board.

I saw them in a shop in a shop in Kingscliff, NSW and they referred me to the website.

Think the turning in surf is assisted by removing my centre fin, and certainly my creek paddling is straighter when I put the centre fin back in!

Wow you obviously really like them.

Was the shop keeper in Kingscliff using them as well?
