Hi All

I'm new here and new to longboarding; although, I've been surfing the short stuff for 15 years or so now.

I've recently purchased a 9'5" Ray Gleave McT with the interest of riding it with a more traditional approach. So far I've been surfing it as a single with the factory 8", which rides nice off the tail but is not great as I move towards the nose. So I am seeking advice on what sort of fin I should try as a single fin setup. I'm looking for something that rides nice on the nose but still turns well. Any advice is appreciated.

Get a 10 inch pivot or dolphin fin and move it back in the box.

Cheers for the help guys. I was in Byron a fortnight ago and meant to stop into the McTavish shop but got side tracked with kids and drinking, well drinking.
Have been looking at the redline fin and wondering how it would go??

he still wants to turn smh
well i have been riding a 9'1 set up as a thruster, pc5 side and a m3 centre and i found this board and set up better to nose ride than my 9'6 log(and that fin would be about 20inches and turn,well its a big thruster. i would go a 9 on that. asea what did you have on your one?

Different type of turn Chrispy. If he wants to nose ride and surf it more traditional style a large deep single is the go.

+1 I'd go 10" dolphin if it has hard rails in the tail, a keel if it it rounded rails.

Good call SP.
