the best high perfo.....

[bluesnowcone]

im looking for the best high performance longboard fin that doesnt look like 3 shortboard fins, anyone know of any?

[Phil]

so you want the best high performance signle fin? for a board that doesnt use side biters?

[bluesnowcone]

no, iv got side biters, i just want the best hi perfromace fin thats not a shortboard fin with a box conversion

[Phil]

do you want it for nose riding or so it makes the board looser so you can throw it around alot more?

[bluesnowcone]

i should of been more percific, i want it so i can do re-entrys vertical top turns, and all of that, but i want it as a big fin so i can still get slightly foward when i need a tad more speed and im pumping like mad(i dont want to do any noes riding when im using this fin).

also im riding a 9' bic classic all-rounder

[Phil]

if you want the board to be more manovable so you can throw it around alot get one of these


if you want an all round fin then get a 8" McTavish fin

[Phil]

id go for the nineplus cutaway then

[bluesnowcone]

cheers, i was loking at that fin, and i didnt know if there was anything better

[Phil]

ive never used one but ive seen people rip with them at saunton and quite a few rate them on magic seaweed plus you cant go wrong for £35, most longboard fins are £50 +

[bluesnowcone]

cool, so where abouts to you surf, cas if ur a saunton local im envyos

[Phil]

yup im a saunton local well i live a fair way away but i surf it pretty much all the time its on

what about this fin, its got a small base and its small all the way through the fin, but the tip looks like you could use it to noes ride??

[Phil]

it would lack drive but would make a good nose riding fin so long as you didnt use the side biters

[bluesnowcone]

kk, so i would be beter off sticking with a cut away fin

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K%3A1&rd=1

im low on cash, this is a cut away, but its a big cut away, would it still improve performance quite abit or is it to big

[Phil]

the bigger the fin the more drive it will have but will allso be harder to throw around, its hard to say really depends what you want from the board

[bluesnowcone]

well at the moment all i want is a longboard that i can turn realy easy and fast

[Phil]

what size board you riding?

[bluesnowcone]

its a 9' bic classic, its got chipped rails so its easy to turn, and its got side biters.

[bluesnowcone]

the bigger the fin the more drive it will have but will allso be harder to throw around, its hard to say really depends what you want from the board

where you say drive, do you meen speed and thrust
