Can anyone recommend a good fin for my 6'6 its pretty much a standard short board egged up a bit at the front rounded pin at the back 6'6' x 21 x 2 3/8 single to double bottom with a fin box....I reckon it will fly with the right fin but I haven't found it yet..

Can you stick a photo up, do you intend to ride it as a single or a 2+1
for a single, I'd go something like, a 8 - 10 inch, wide base, pushed right up in the box, try to get on with a fair bit of flex and a bit of rake.

if your going 2+1 then what sides do you have or intend to use?

What sort of waves do you right it in? The points or the beachies?

I would be thinking along the lines of L-Flex 8, or 7.5. And GX/GXQ side bites.

In my humble opinion, if either of those set-ups don't feel good, you are likely to have a dud board... Potentially bad combo of rocker, template, rails, concaves...

South Coast have the L-Flex fins.

Some people say that Fins are the "Salt & Pepper" to a good dish. Just gives the finishing touches...

And if you decide you don't like the L-Flex, PM me, and I'll buy it off you.

My preferred fin colours are "smoke", "blue", and "clear opaque". Thanks.

Just ditch the sides and ride as a single fin.

Try something around 7-8" in a standard Dolphin shape or to be fancy a more Tuna fin shape with a finer tip. Niiice.

Go the single fin champ

I would prefer to ride it as a single...interesting recomendations, Thanks!! I was thinking I needed something shorted in the 7" range with a wider base...I will post a photo tonight

Here's another picture of Tux.

Careful not to get double crossed here Newguy, they will take all your nairas. BTW, what are the waves like in Nigeria?

Great bunch here can actually take a joke.
