Gafas, I have designed a unique base concept that will allow this 12 inch based fin to fit  fin boxes from 7 1/2 inches and up. You can order this concept on any of my fin designs.

Nice looking fins Wardog, Mahalo, Larry


Thanks Larry.

Not a SUS specific fin but it is a magic fin none the less on my Kings Knight 10' The fin has some great drive due to the rake and flex of the tip. You can actually feel the drive from the fin on a bottom turn. 8)

what are all you guys with boards under 9' riding for stand up surfing?
im just using some FCS simon andersons and they seem to work great. i've never tried a 'sup specific fin set' before. very interesting though

Having this discussion yesterday.  My friend swears by his Harley Ingleby's XL.  I wish they were available in Futures.

for short sup surfing in crappy to mediocre waves i like the Boehne Bros I-5's- small is fast

Larry, Is that a hole on the surface of that blue fin?  How does the flow over the fin not get messed up by that?

sounds like some folk just ride with surfboard fins and do fine?

Yes. For shorter boards, standard size fins seem to work better.  Looser is better, IMO.

Water does not notice the Hole on the Blue Bat Race Keel. Water only Notices the hole on this Jeremy Fin when in turn mode which is a much bigger hole my friend.

I am flabergasted by that, not what I would expect, but very interesting. So could I drill holes through my fins with no effect, other than reducing weight?

What I meant was surfboard fins seem to be fine....rather than SUP specific...unless I have read that wrong. I've got 10 inch fins on my longboard and a 10 inch fin on my 12 ft SUP.....not a SUP specific fin.
