i am looking for a good us box fin, for my 85litre wave board, i want it so i can manage the board on bigger sails, im looking at maui fins, but they are quite pricey, but im wondering if it is worth the money, any one out there with 85 board, for thier lite wind board, any good fins your using, etc etc, im on a crappy 15 year old glass fin, wich is hell and im hoping by getting a new fin it will improve its performance and make the board nicer
im just udner 70kg, the board is a starboard fish without the tri fin arrangement, and the sails im using is from 5.4 to 6.0 on it,

MFC all the way, you won't get a decent fin any cheaper, and MFC are the best fins on the market, that's why all the pro's use them. i ride a 83litre newwave, on-shore max 23cm, side shore 21cm, You can tell there good fins as soon as you lay your eye's on them..

MFC are the real deal. Look at the On-shore wave range which should suit your Fish quite nicely. With you being under 70kg I would not suggest a fin over 9" (23cm) even using up to a 6m sail, you wont have the weight to push it. Stay small & stay loose...!
