In Australia, I'm chasing something a bit hard to find..... is there anyone
who sells fins online (preferably a few different brands)


Thanks

Try capecodwindsurfing.com, or calema.com, or gorgesurfshop.com, or
the-house.com, or surfingsports.com, or windance.com, or bigwinds.com
or neilprydemaui.com, or gsport.com (limited to GSport and Orca).
Pretty much every windsurfing shop in the USA has a web presence and
will sell via the internet/e-mail.

I don't think they sell KA fins in the US but I am sure they do in your
neighborhood. I only have a G10 22cm wave, but it's perfect for me and
the precision of the milling is excellent (very smooth, great fit, no
shims, no wobble, no raised graphics).

No good sorry...... I'm after the biggest wave fin I can get for a Carve
123...... like *at least* a 11" (27.5cm) proper wave shape for Tuttle box.
Pretty much the biggest in Oz is a 26.5 cm Select

I'll check out Dans site's above and cross fingers...

cheers

Wow, that's a big wave fin!

In my own experience, wave fins above a certain size become a bit draggy
and offset the looseness you're trying to achieve. If you want to go
wave sailing with a 7.0m sail you don't have much choice...

FWIW: my biggest wave fin is the wardog wave 9"75. It feels big, even
with my 6.4m, and certainly has more lift than you'd expect from its
length because of its wide base and long, swept tip.

You could always try the crosover fins designed for the Aero/Kombat
Aero.

I'm with Florian on this...go with a great swept pointer. I sail
True Ames "converts"
