Hey guys
Still new around here though been reading for months. Hello finally!

Picked up a 2nd Hand 14x26' Starby Allstar a month ago and have been using 3-4 times a week, flat water at first but now 80% offshore, often in chop and side swell (following the surf beach along outside the break, then downwinding back). Enjoying the sport a lot after a back injury has made SKi Paddling too sore.

I probably should have gone a slightly wider board for a beginner as it feels pretty tippy in decent chop and my legs are bloody sore after a session! Still, only have fallen a few times and seem to be improving...I backed myself with Ski background but standing up is a whole new learning curve.

I figure persist with the Allstar rather than change over to a 27.5' Glide or Falcon which I have been tempted, at least until next summer. Im 6'1 and 90Kg.

Anyway to the point. Im after suggestions for a larger fin than the standard hex Starby one, as Im guessing it might improve stability somewhat in choppy seas. Ive read about Ninja's and Gladiators but a little confused over which would be appropriate.

Cheers

Steve
