I went out today here in 18 gusting to 25. I was using a 6.6 which was overpowered (for me) I changed down to my old 5m wave sail. I ride a Xcite ride 130lt which has the standard 44cm fin.

This fin seems fine on the larger sails but I recall something about dropping down the fin size if you go to smaller sails.

Can someone offer some advice as to if this is correct? I know that a 130lt and a 5m sail seems an odd combo but until I can get a smaller board for heavy days it'll have to do, so I want to make the most of it.

Thanks Mineral,

I bought an old Mistral screamer and he threw in 4 fins ranging from about 42cm (g10 i think) down to about 36cm slalom fin. Ill have to check them out more closely as we're now getting some real wind here. Time for some experimenting.
