What is a good size and style of fin to use for noseriding on most 10 foot single fin boards?
What is a good size and style of fin to use for noseriding on most 10 foot > single fin boards? I prefer at least 10 inches. My prior favorite was a 10-inch Wingnut Longrake. Now my favorite BY FAR is Gene Cooper’s Hornet fin. It’s 10 3/4". Check out the fins on his site at www.cooperfishsurfboards.com. Hope this helps…deeb…

Most of all,he surf’s really well.And it show’s in his shaping and designing.
yeah - the fins with a lot of “hook” to the trailing edge like the Wayne Rich design seem to hold really good.

my all-time favorite fin is the 9.5" DT RetroPivot. you might want to try a 10" on a 10ft board. put it all the way back in the box. like foamdust said its really close to the david nuuhiwa fin if not the same. real stable, holds in like a champ, but it still turns really well even though its more of a pivot type turn than a sweep. my ALLLL-TIIMMMEE favorite, EVERYBODY should have one of these babies. -steve
