Alkali fins classic single.

I like the widow maker single template but it might be too much fin for the board.
They've got the range at the old Mike Cundith shop at Byron.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
True Ames Greenough 7 inch 2+1 also looks like a good arounder.
Although 6 1/2 inch maybe good too but possibly too short if you just want to ride as a single.
I'm sure someone will hammer me for these suggestions. My 2 cents.
I have a few different sets but the shortest board is 6'6.
5'10. Will be interested to see how that rolls.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Cheers Stephen. So I don’t want to buy hundreds of fins until I find the right one(s). Should I be going bigger if I ride it as a single and smaller if I add side fins? I’m totally retarded with my knowledge on this stuff. Will text you a couple of photos.
Re: Just general surfing stuff
My offer to lend you a few to test still stands, Jimmy.
I'll be on the Tweed coast for the weekend.
Though most of mine are a bit big.

Cheers Boo. I’ve gotta coach my daughters netball team on Saturday but other that I’m sort of free. Will get in contact.
Re: Just general surfing stuff
Thanks Thud. Good input. Looking at the link Shearer sent a 6 1/2 inch is recommended up to 6ft boards. Might get me one of those. But thinking I might give Deadkooks a go. Heard they’ve got awesome fins.Thud wrote: ↑Thu May 03, 2018 7:58 pmTrue Ames Greenough 7 inch 2+1 also looks like a good arounder.

Just saw this on the The Gumtree. Might pick it up because it’s only 10 mins from me and $20 is pretty cheap.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
That fin is yuck.
Get a proper fin Jimmy, don't be a tight arse.
Start with a 6.5.
I've got some fins around here if you come down. We'll go test them at the Point.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Steve. As I said. I know nothing about this side of things. Im happy to spend money but just saw it and though, why not it’s only $20 and I can surf the board tomorrow. Another retarded question. I always use tail pads but it doesn’t seem right to put one on this board. Just answered my question. Wax FTW!
Will give you a bell when I’m coming down and I’d love to test fins at the point. Cheers.

Re: Just general surfing stuff

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Of course it would be. Occy was doing turns better that in the 80’s on boards that were like boats compared to a pyzel phantom
