Hi I just picked up one of these but I think the shop has gave me the wrong fins.
I bought the GT version
They first gave me a glass 9" Naish fin with thrusters, but it didn't match so I looked on the internet and the glass one is for the GS.
I went back and they swapped it for a hexcel fin matching the thrusters, but it's only a 6.5". Am I correct in thinking it should be a 9" hexcel fin and thrusters? Does anyone have a pic of one?
Thanks, Tom

Pretty sure it should be a 9" center fin on the 10'6" Nalu.. Same as the 11' Nalu..

That smaller 6 1/2" center fin is from a board like the 9'5" GT Mana..

Thanks DJ, is the one in your nalu GT a hexcel fin like the one pictured or a composite glass.

What fin do you use in your 11' Nalu?

Yes.. All three are like that yellow and black hexcel fin..

I haven't put them in yet but I have a VP set with a nude dog man center fin.. Not sure what size it is.. 7 or 8" I think.. I think the stock set up works well..

I'd keep the 6.5" and be happy you didn't get the 9". Any 2+1 with a big center fin just kills performance. And that's especially true if you sidebits are Thruster size rather then a standard longboard GL/GX size. Try it and if you don't like it, then complain.

I agree that the 9 inch centre fin and the big sidebites you get with the Nalu ( or used to) are too much. The smaller centre fin would be much more fun if you want to ride it as a 2 + 1 set up......

However, I always surfed it as a single fin....I had the 11 4 and used a 10 inch MDT3 fin in it....I would use the 9 inch MDT3 version for the 10 6 Nalu.

I really didnt like like the Naish stock fins with my 2014 Nalu.

X 2 .first thing I done with my 11' is take the 9" out and put the 6.5 in ..
but yeah they are the right GT FINS but you should of got a 9 rear instead .
think yourself lucky.
