seeing as my new board is out of action, i decide to put that setup in my old board for something different. as i paddled out the board was a bit more wobbly, but was a lot quicker to paddle and surf. how ever, it didn't hang in there as well. after getting a long ride, i decided to swap back to my usual setup.steadier, but slower and harder to get going. didn't surf as fast, but held in better. so i'm going to change around a bit to find that happy medium. the thing is i thought i settled for sure on that board, now i'm keen to play again and each surf that bit more interesting.my boards have fcs fusion plugs all round, so it's less confusing as there is no option of sliding a centre fin back and forth- thankfully
cheers

Hey Lacey,

In our experience fins can definitely bring a board alive!

Blane posted several suggestions for the PSH boards and thats where we started.

I prefer the inside foil fins myself feels a bit like power steering, tracks straight until you initiate the turn then it appears to exagerate the turn.

I pretty much use the same set up in the Naish, DC, PSH, Imperials with great results.

Each to thier own.

More you try the more mistakes you make the more you learn!
