Hi Kazza, PM me and I can sort a fin for you and give you a price, etc. I generally try to order in batches to keep the freight cost to a minimum.

Dave, Kaleb leant me a 27 at Stanley in that big easterly and it worked a treat, would that be right for my 95L Fanatic in strong winds
Kazza's putting the pressure on and I'm watching Jez move up the ranks at a rapid rate

I reckon maybe a 32 or 34 on a 95L board in high winds and chop (Doran's). Maybe a 30 if in flat water. I'm not really familiar with the board, so someone else might be able to help out here? What size fin do you usually use in it and what type of sail?

For the conditions we had at Stanley and also the conditions we get regularly at Dorans you actually need a smaller board.

Hey Kazza, you can get one ordered from their website, I got one a few months ago (they had a free freight to Aust month), but as luck would have it, I haven't been able to go sailing since I got it. I'll need it to catch up to that b#s@t*rd Jezz.

Getting a good deal through Dave. Is everyone getting or has got a Isonic 86? Have a lot of people taken advantage of the Auswind deals? If you've got a bit of spare money how could you not refuse....windsurfing gear these days is sooooo over priced. I'll be peed off if I can't get faster speeds though. Don't worry guys I won't be catching your speeds, I think the extra strength you guys have makes a difference, I'm after getting the fastest womens speed.

What type of board, slalom, freewave?

I use a Makani Fin Ono 24cm (wave Onshore) when going in surf and a Naia (weed Freestyle) 18cm for freestyling on a 98L. So I think arround 26 to 27cm is a standard size that they deliver with boards of that size if it is a Freewave? Usually for an average user it is the sweet-spot, for advance or a windsurfing who is going to rig a 4.7 and 4.2 with that 95L board that setup is massive, so for higher winds must go down a few cm.

For a freeride board I think 34cm is the average fin, but I'm not a guru in that deparment.

Great to hear you got your iSonic 86 Jez and that it arrived OK. A fair few of us have got new boards on the way ... !!

Damo, you need to get yourself a GPS!! You'd be able to challenge Kazza for fastest woman
