Gettin old and thinking about getting a modern take on a 7 foot single fin ( something with a bit more paddle glide). Anyone suggest any shapes/ shapers?

I've always loved Bob's Carver shapes and I noticed the other day that some of them, like this 7'4 on his website, have a 2 plus 1 set up. You could easily just run one of these as a nice single.

not graceful enough to long board.

Mid length single fins sounds like a time warp.

Is that the single u made Tux? Looks lovely in red. Nice outline. I agree re duck diving - no issues. Just put a bit more pressure on one side with yr initial first push then the rest will follow.
