So this weekend I cracked the crappy plastic fins I originally got given with my first board.

As an intermediate at 80kgs riding I ride my 7'6 on smaller days so probably now should stop being a tight arse and invest in a decent set of fins. I having no idea what size or model I should even consider for this size board - any suggestions? I have Surfinz fin boxes so can consider both FCS and Future.

I have a 6'2 with medium FCS fins but wasn't sure whether they would work as well in such a bigger board.

So Medium or Large? FCS or Future?

Thanks

what are you looking for more speed or manouverability

Hey Katana, both would be nice, but manoeuvreability is probably the more important.

I have been using shapers am2. Lots of drive but turn so nice

FUTURES go the YU hex core.

FCS go the GOODS.

try and demo some from a shop.

Thanks Chrispy I went with your recommendation and I can't belive the diffrence. Nice one!

Glad you like them. I have not ridden my board as a quad since I put them in

They are a good fin, I used them until I got my DHD 2.0 thruster set. If you look at the base of the rear fin and compare it to a side fin the rear is smaller, not by much. Thats why they have drive and turn well. All the Kelly Slater fins are like that as well. I might have to try them again as I havnt used them on my current board

Yep,the Kelly Fins I have don't come in large,so they were not to my liking. I have put the Kelly trailer behind the am2 and love the feeling when they are just **** around waves
I'm heavy on the back foot so a bigger fin does not really hurt me. Also I think riding a longboard makes my board seem like a 5" to me.
