what are the benefits of big fins in longboards.
whats your spinnnnn on it.
Not my spin just some information I've been told,a hatchet fin is not my friend (Bob McTavish) face to face.
Big board needs a big motor Dave Hollywood (Mctavish) face to face.
Cobra strictly on logs say 906 or 10 I wouldn't go less than 9.5 and I'd go up to 11 max also pending on fin
shape.Say a 906 all rounder min 9 and up to 10.Fins got to fit the board golden rule.

You would be running your gorgeous Redline with a 10 yep
9.5 I thought
Isn't the basic rule of thumb an inch per foot and play around that mark as your starting point?

I'm thinking 10.5 for the redline.
They would normally come with a 10 as standard mate but a 10.5 would be cool ask them about the GG' fins mate.
Well if you can wait until after Sunday night,I may be able to tell you because that's when I get given my 11 inch salty merchants fin for a B/day present.
knowing the way I ride, I doubt it will make a scrap difference 
but I'm still excited

Keep us posted obct,,,I'm very interested, hope the big V post about his 11 inch.
I inch of fin per foot of board or there abouts is my rule...unless your board is under 6 feet or over 10 foot then all bets are off

I'm loving it now, at 11-3/4" it's got plenty of drive while still being able to turn it ok. It is on a log so expectations of how it turns is better than I expected.
SDR has given me a couple of prototype modified fins to try in it so we'll see how they compare.
