I am using a 10.5 fcs test drive fin in my board,at 26 in wide and me [full winter coat 96kg normally around 90 summer] finding it is a little tipsy.How mouch bigger could i go and where in aus is a good place to make some enquiries.I could be premature in blaming the fin,yesterdays 40 min session was my first time out and got in a good hour today.GOT SOME GOOD PHOTOS BUT COMPUTOR IS PLAYING UP AT THE MOMENT.

just my two cents but awhile back i was trying to paddle a windsurf board that was only 24" wide (very tippy),thing was it had a fairly big fin and it occured to me
when it started to tip i could not correct it quick enough and i would fall.So i made a lot smaller plastic fin to experiment with,when fitted, though the board was still tippy it was easier to correct and i could balance for longer.I gave up in the end and bought a paddleboard but its food for thought.Why not try to balance without a fin
just for the experiment.Cheers IAN

Only been in vic 6 months from wa, but wouldnt the weather be similar in sa anyway ?.

I'm about 250km north Adelaide where the weather is a few degreee's warmer usually..........just a joke that most south aussies like to say about victoria

Hope you Vic's don't mind the weather joke but we even have beer advert's over here that pay it out

Not at all Champrow. Better to be known for bad weather than bad serial killers.

Depends which of the four seasons they're having a what part of the day...
