Hi all
Been using my nalu 10.65 with thruseres in. Now I want ditch the thrustersto give it a go with a single fin only. Can anyone recommend a good all round fin?

I'm using a locally made 91/2" dolphin fin in mine.. You can just see it of you pause this vid at 56 seconds.

http://trueames.com/shop/california-classic-sup-finThe 9.5 is a great oldskool feeling big single.
Liked it a lot!Any good 25-28cm windsurf US wavebox fin will work as well.

That green fin looks great.. Same shape as my red one that I'm using.

Has anyone tried different fins on the new Naish 12ft Glide. I've just taken ownership of one in the last few months, and would like to try something other than the standard straight fin as sold with the board. Would love to hear feedback.
Current WX conditions in Cairns have us experiencing some rare wave time.

Cheers

I think the fin that comes standard with the GS Nalu is fantastic. Pretty sure Naish sell them on their own too.

I would recommend a fin with the new screw-less adjustment system: http://unsungherosurf.co.uk/product/fcs-dolphin-effect-base-screwless-longboard-fin/
Friends having them are very satisfied with them, and knowing how a small fin position change can modify the feeling of a single fin board, it seems quite interesting. In my shopping list in any case.

I'm using the screwless 8" fluid foils center fin. The beauty of it is you can adjust it in 30 seconds out in the water dependant on how hollow it it is. I've discovered that you don't need the fin alll the way back just because of size. I did that through trial and error because with the easy adjustment you can experiment. Hopefully they'll work on sidebiters with the same ability and then you'll be able to really customize your thruster setup. I'm using the Truames 6" sidebiters and I haven't spun it out on any sized waves. The only thing is there is so much fin in the water combined with the Cant of the fins seems to create instability out the back when standing around. It could also be that my hip is affecting my balance but even on my worst day with the old fins I wouldn't fall in anywhere near as much as I have been lately. I don't really care because the fins rip when on the wave. Take a bow Zak!!!!!!
