Just bought myself [ebay] an old wally $53:00,sailed it once and SUP'ed it once.
SAIL:cant believe i learnt on something like that.
SUP:worked OK,I'll be doing it again.
Just after some advise on some fin options.


Centre is the original, what i plan to do is use the others to make a new rear fin and small centre board.Question is which one where?I have 2 original c/boards for really light wind or any interested beginners to do battle with.
I guess its main use [by me] light airs occasionally,but looking at the conversion to use in medium winds over the shallow tidal flats at several of my local sailing spots where i cant sail my new boards with bigger fins.That said I'm leaning towards the smaller fin rear[mounted as far forward in the box as i can] the larger c/board [mounted to the rear of housing]Any advice welcome.

I still sail those thing a bit in the summer, as winds can be flaky here. Mostly teaching and freestyling, and once in a while I get caught in stronger winds (15-20 knots) on the old triangle sail.

I am certain (IMO) the fin sizes you have here won't make a big diff on those boards. The 2 different dagger shapes help for board stability in strong wind, but not the fins.
