I'm 85kg and i used use a 42cm vector canefire. I tried to use a 40cm VC but it was way too dead , even in dead flat water. This was all with a 7.8m sail.

I know a guy 75kg who also uses a 42cm vector canefire.

I recommend this fin. I also use my back foot alot too. I dont think height and weight matters too much in this instance. It just works with 42, due to the width of the board.

42cm works in 12 - 30 knots

I could imagine how lifeless and slidy it would be with a 39. Ouch!!

Interesting. I have the same board and use a 40cm C3, with both a 7.8m and 6.7m. If anything i was thinking going slightly smaller?

Hi Dani

Izymiester is right with the fin size of 42cm (Canefire) for this board.

Don't be to scared of the size as those fins handle a lot of wind and still keeps the board in control.

Spin outs can easily come from a fin that is to small,,

I haven't tried the C3 fins , so I can't comment on those,,

I can see you are from US, so just send Jeff Fagerholm (Vector fins) a email there and he can help you out. [email protected]

Cheers

Jesper

I would recommend a C3 Sting II 40 or 42cm even a 38cm for higher winds. Great slalom fin never ever lets go in chop and has brilliant lift. I'm very happy with my StingII's. Site link below:
