Can anyone point me in the direction of some info on fins, best shape, make and construction. At work and have time on my hands to research.

What do you plan to do with them?
What gear?

Try for speed and a bit of slalom when the wind finally comes in. Have a F2 Stoke 126 and exocet compact move 100 (get on now ) sails Naish 7.6 redline and a RS slalom 6.7, thinking of upgrading to a more slalom orientated board, when more fun tickets appear any suggestions

C3 and Ka gets my vote

Lots of good fins out there at the moment. it often come down to personal choice and riding style. If ya can try before ya buy not always easy though.
Like Kato says C3, KA and I would add Tectonics F1 to that list as well.
C3 Venom and Tectonics F1 are good cross over slalom/speed fins.
What size slalom board are you thinking of getting.

Around the 100 to 110 size

Pretty much the same weight as me then.
I would look at a 100lt if ya keeping the stoke if ya looking something more for speed then maybe a 90lt. Currently I jumped from a 75w 120lt to a 67w 100lt then a 50w 64lt speed board as well. Ive been really happy with the Lorch boards so far bloody quick boards. Ive also been very happy with the Starboard Isonics in the past more so the 2009 boards.

Back to fins for around a 65w 100lt board I would use a Venom 40 with you 7.6 Redline and a 38 for ya 6.7.

hope this helps

Yes it will help, have been looking on the C3 and KA websites is this the only place you can get them (C3), or is there a stockist here. will look at Tectonics F1
Thanks for the help

Hey Andrew the f1 dont go up that big you have to look at the Tectonic Goldwings or Talons.
