OK - short of finding the cash for a new board, I'm wanting to 'pep up' my longboard a bit and was thinking of having a play with a change of fin.
I'm currently back on the standard 8" jobbie that it came with, having tried the 'turbo tunnel' (too stable - boring fin) and some weird winged keel type thing that I blagged as a test (it's supposed to make the board turn quicker - can't say I noticed......).
I used to have a magic carpet and the fin on that worked well on the longboard, but I'm just after any input really.
It's a 9'3", squashed pintail, built to cruise more than perform (it's a custom from LSD), although it does turn quite well.
It doesn't nose ride well (or at least I can't get it too) so I'm just wanting to try and get a bit more performance out of it - or even have another stab at trying to noseride it....
Anyway - fin suggestions and/or preferences please......
