What is the board, old school log or hard rails, the pope doesn't look like it has enough area in the tip for a log. But the captain fins do look a lot different in the flesh to the photos, always seem bigger, but they are great fins...
Between the two I'd go the bent,
I have a Jai lee, which I use in my log, that I like a lot and might suit your board aswell. They are kinda halway between a keel and a dolphin.

Yeah I'm an idiot, I didn't read the last bit...... I edit my response above after I did.

That is a really nice looking board, I'd go whichever ever fin is more upright and has more area in the tip, so off the photos I'd go the bent, although something like the Jai lee would be ok too. If you surf small long waves, a wide base gives heaps of drive.

But be careful if you order online as I said they look different in the flesh to on the net. If you are ordering online let me know, i may have a contact for you...

The Jai lee is the one with graphics. 9.5" they reckon.



The blue wiz Is ok too in the log. The black ones are copies of Takayama fins, the 10.5 is good in boards with sharper rails but doesn't have enough area in the tip for my log.


I think the first one you put up looks good, evn the red looks fine.

I don't mind the herbie fin from the captain range and even the Tudor 10" looks okay. Not sure but seems their range has shrunk a bit.
