Looking for a good single fin for my Naish Nalu 11'
I am 1.80/95kg'
Mostly shore breaks, loose ride, wave from fit up to head height
Must be web shop, worldwide shipping
Thanks

Hi Esku, These guys at Mitch's Surf Shop in USA ship to Australia and possibly to wherever you are. Great people to deal with.
They have some SUP fins, but their longboard fins would be a good option too for your Nalu (it's basically a longboard shape). Personally I reckon a 9 to 10 inch fin would do the trick. I surf a 10'6 Nalu with a 9 inch Naish fin and I reckon it would work just as well in an 11ft board.
Have a browse... www.mitchssurfshop.com/Fins/Center_Fins

PS. Longboard legend Skip Frye says: "Ninety percent of the surfing public uses too much fin. Big fins just increase a board's drag. If you get rid of that extra fin area, you're going to trim so much faster and blast through sections. Over the years my fins have gotten smaller and smaller."

With a forth of the same shape, sizes 7-10" picked for wave height, you get a very loose ride.

I also recomend a 9 or 10" fin and my choice for my 11' Nalu is the FCS tool-less long board fin.

On the 10'6" I used the Naish 9" and loved it, I will go for the 10"

Used to have 10 inch of this fin on my 11 4 Nalu....worked very well. 9 inch would have been fine too.
