Gotcha. Then yeah, I’d say try a 6’ Bonzer fin if the tail is narrow. You and I are about the same weight and I like a 6.5”. But, most of my Bonzers have been Campbell Bros with wider tails. I can’t really speak to other fin options in a Bonzer as I’ve only tried Bonzer template fins in bonzers with success.

6.5” fin is the business for me...but I’ve never had any of the wider tailed designs. So-try a 6.5” & check placement carefully. I like mine right in line w/ the trailing edge of the runners. I don’t really worry about distance from the tail.
I like mine to overlap about 1/8”-1/4” with the trailing edge of the rear side fins. I agree that distance from the tail is less important than relation to the side fins.
Tried that. Didn’t work too well. Board was very slow trying to go rail to rail.
Thanks for all the replies. I’ll probably keep playing with fin placement for another session or two and then try out another fin if I can find the sweet spot.. Could very well be my foot placement/learning to surf a board so different from what I’m usually on.
