weed fins looking for 22cm for my 44cm wide speed board and also 32cm for my 59cm small slalom. I want to go to Canton beach NSW or Illawarra in a westerly? Also looking for a 40cm normal fin for my 111l 69cm board.
Any sugestions and does any person have some for sale?

Thanks for the information.

It sounds that I need a fin less than 20cm to run at Illawara. I normaly use 22cm but also have a boogie 21cm. no weed fins
What size sail and in what wind strength do you use the 19cm and how do you get enough power out of the fin?

I've seen fins up to about 30cm at Lake Illawarra, You'll just need to stay out a bit more then the rest.

I run 23, 26 and 28cm fins without a problem.

Hi! I sail predominately on weedies, slalom and speed. I've found Vector have both covered now.(and no I'm not sponsored by them) I've tried the weed slalom 34 and found it feels great and very fast. Also the vector delta range are great. The deltas come in speed weed and just speed. I can get away with using the speed fin in most weedie locations as there is still a fair rake on them. On the odd occasion (when there is a lot of weed) I switch to speed weed.

I have a isonic speed special 44w. With the 5.0 - 6.2 use delta speed 19,21 to 23. If the weed is heavy or tape weed Ill use the delta speed weed 21 - 25. Both the speed and speed weed are rock solid and seem to get better the faster you go!! Most of our speed strips aren't ultra flat. These fins perform well, and I haven't had problems with spinouts at all.

hope this helps
