Hi,

Some advice on fin size please.....

I'm about 88kg and have a 96l Tabou 3 Style, with sail ranges from 4.9 - 6.1.

I currently have a JP Freeride Wave 31cm weed fin.

When coupled with my 5.5. Fusion this set up is great to about 22 knots.......thereafter it gets pretty lively.....

I wondered if a smaller fin may keep it more stable / more maneuverable?

Thoughts please

Thanks

you could easily go down to the 26cm weed wave or even the 21 dependent on your capabilities

I use the 26 in my JP FSW with sail sizes up to 6.6

agreed, in similar sized FSW I have run 22cm wave when realy windy, up to about 27cm FSW (almost a freeride shape on the latter)
