Help, does anyone know where I can get some side fins , the small ones that will suit a Starboard Fish. I thought the shops that sell the starboards would have them but....... they dont. any ideas.

Hmm. Try sailing one handed and putting the other hand in the water, fin style. Gives you a feel for your speed, but only allows for 1 side fin.

you will need the small, stiff FCS fins, i used some of the othersized plastic cheapo ones which were just ok, but try and get the small (about 3") stiffer ones, with the flowers on....most surfshops sell em or can get em.

hey windy,
board is an 02, 85L. grea on the waves. only using a 23 driver at the moment. I have had some spinout when i push for height or get slapped on top of a wave coming in but its not been to bad. I thought about running the larger FCS fins but..... probably to much drag. The hunt goes on... more for the interest in performace.
All the shops i've tried so far just have the bigger sides.. not the little flower ones..pity about the flowers but if they make the board work better
