The fins in your Standup Paddle Board can transform it from a good board to bad board & from a bad board to a awesome board.

Blane Chambers of PSH put together a short video on experimenting with fins.

Some key points:

  * Try swapping with fins - don't worry about the theory - get wet & try it!

  * Keep a log on how different fins work for you.   Details such as:
           -  Model
           -  Kind of fin
           -  Placement of centre fin
           -  Surf conditions

          You can see if you're moving forward or backward trying fins.
