What windsurfing fins for Rush Lake?

Postby Emmanuel Pons » Mon Jul 18, 2011 5:17 pm

Here is a little selection.
Why a Freestyle fin? Because they sail well even for straight cruising while being very short! A 20cm FS fin easily takes a 5.5 sail (go on a broad reach for quick planning a little like a formula).
The list below shows most WEED SPECIFIC FS FINS on the market. They would be terrific at rush Lake.

Makani fins - Naia

Chocofin weedstar
http://www.chocofins.com/where-to-buy/shop/weedstar/ (18 cm should be fine on a 5.5)
(US distributor: http://www.next-sports.com/ )

Kaku freestyle weed

I think the ABK guys recommended the Makani weed fin.

They didn't have anything good to say about the MFC weed fin.

But if you do want a MFC fin give me a call and I will set you up.
