Hey i bought a starboard 10' x 34 and lovin it. But would be interested in hearing how different fin combos have worked for anyone on sup.
On the sunny coast mostly small surf and have preferred the Mal with the large single fin in the past. the new board came with the thruster set up with 6 3/4 inch middle fin....but the mal of course was much narrower than this
what works for you? thanks...

Definitely worth trying some options. Well worth trying an 8.5 to 9 inch fin in the centre, and see what you like.
With a wider board like that, I'd be inclined to keep stay with full sized thruster side fins, rather than the smaller variations like GL & GX and similar.
In theory, a bigger centre fin provides more drive down the line, and a smaller centre fin and larger side fins like say MR Twin Fins (various options there also), provide more maneuverability.... But MR Twinnies can provide great drive also...
Have a play with some options, and even change fins part way through a session, if you have the time.
Either way, enjoy. There's really no right or wrong answer. Just personal preference. You may even find that you don't notice too much difference.
Does that board have Quad options ??

I've just listed 12 x Fins on the Seabreeze Buy / Sell page in the 'Surfing' section.
Check 'em out, plenty of SUP options amongst them.
(I'm not sure if it's listed yet, maybe not until Sunday morning - seems to take a while to get approved).
