Looking for some advice here guys.

I've been riding my single fin of late with 10 inch fin set up and found it drive'y down the line but lacking turning ability so I asked for a 9 inch but was given an 8 instead,I found it lost some drive so put the 10 back in which increased the drive.

What do you think,9 inch will make a difference or not?

Where's the fin located in the box? hatchet or Dolphin Style? is it a Standard off the shelf fin or a Special one from the Wiz?

What size board are you running it in ? 10inch is too much fin for anything under 9'6 IMO and a 9inch fin would always be my preference to run as a single anyway. If you are gunna stick with the 10inch then I would run it a beesdik back from centre.

Sorry mac, but according to the urban dictionary BB either thinks you're a believer in bigfoot or he's insulting your face but still would like to bend you over a barrel and do something a bit nasty to you.

Come on Mac, you know it's all about base.... Base + Drive. Try a cut away, or reduced base fin to turn tighter, or more base to drive down the line.... Same concept goes for side fins....

For longer boards, small side fins give nice release, going rail to rail....
