Fins for Kiteboard, any recommendations, any for sale?

[mike loeser]

Got a new deck that didn't come with any hardware. I wanted to use the stuff off my broken board, but the fins are two hole on the new deck and the ones I have are only one hole. Does anyone know the best size, 1.5 or 2, which would be best? My boards are a little dated, so I don't know what the latest thing is. Also does anyone have some for sale locally on the cheap?
Thanx,
Mike L.

I ride a best board and use 1.0 in grind fins. great for grinding things and kiting in the uber shallow water at south sandy and late rush lake rides. i wish i had 1.5 in track fins though. The track fins allow you to cut up wind well and land airs or tricks. i seem to slip out on landings because the fins dont seem to hold. The longer the fins the more traction you have. thenk i have my surf board that has six in on it and it cuts up wind like crazy but that is a board thing the fins jsut help.

Speaking of which if any one has a set of four BEST 1.5 track fins used or new i am in the market. (keep in mind i am a poor starving college student)

Mike,

It also depends on the size of your board. IMHO, the bigger the board the smaller the fins. Note the tiny fins on the SS Glide.

I agree with Hedquista on smaller fins for Rush and ULSSB, Lincoln for that matter is also a fin grinder. Riding style also comes into play. Deep fins make you feel like you are riding on a train. They make you feel more secure when the wind is really nuking, but you lose a lot when it comes to freestyle. It is easier to flip to toeside (and back) with shorter fins.
