add this question to the single fin logging topic but it said it was too old to reply and start a new tread

Question.can anyone tell me what the deference is between a 10 inch and 9 inch fin set up on a log

Paddling?

Trimming?

Turns?

at 95 kegs I think nose riding is out of the question

1 inch...........

I'm old enough to know that.........

imo nothing to worry about the fins,put your pink leotards on do a ballet session or 2 seem your 95kegs and you'll be a fine noserider mac.I'd love to see you doing a session mac,let me know when you go and i would be more than happy to pay just to watch you.

Wont really make any difference IMO - of course depending on the type of fin. There is obviously gunna be a huge difference between, say a dolphin and a hatchet fin but in similar style fins not a massive noticable difference. Having said that I would be running a ten inch sleeker style fin on any log 9.6 or over, say something similar to a redline fin (which are 10inch) or even slightly fuller dolphin shape. I personally like this style of fin on these boards because I think the much fuller hatchet style fins make the board too pivoty in the turns and can upset the smooth rail to rail transition in tighter turns. Just my 2c worth.

Oh yeah - weight has nothing to do with the ability to noseride - although of course those puny little 60kg wimps and chicks obviously have some advantage. It is a mixture of ability, the right board and the right wave - and it is not easy to get all 3 elements working together trust me.

Thanks for your kind comments guy's

asea,a pink too too what size do you want I am at the dance studio

So one inch equals one inch Lfish, no wonder I failed maths

Ok serious, one inch will not make a deference to paddling in or turning

you look so nice in that too too mac,let the rest of the guys see that photo.

If you are talking about the redline then the standard redline fin is spot on if you wanna do cruisey turns and trim and pretty much chill out and take it easy. If you wanna start putting in harder turns then the redline fin may be a bit flexy and you may be better off with something a bit stiffer - more like a fuller dolphin or similar. AND if you are having trouble nose-riding a redline then you are not the only one - the redline is not a nose-rider. It is a great trimming board but has never been renowned for its nose-riding ability.
