Well Simon answered my fin query and confirmed that a medium size fin, flat inside foil would be the fin of choice with the channels. He suggested something similar to the FCS Fanning template. So my next question is what Future fin is closest to the Fanning fin???
He suggested giving my Jordy L a go if I already have them but suspected they might be too much fin. Might even try Jordy sides with EA Blackstix trailer. I quite like that combo in my Nano.

Futures doesn't quite have a MF Medium equivalent. The DHD are very similar to the MF Large but they don't make a medium size, yet.
I would try the Jordy w/ EA center and if that's still too sticky I'd look at a balanced medium size fin set w/ flat foil.

I think the F6 template is pretty similar to the EA. The R6 might fall between the DHD and the Jordy, but smaller overall. I had a set of the Jordy medium and they felt too tracky in every board I tried. I also tried the AM trailing fin and the captain fin trailer, which is more upright than the AM trailer. I wasn't happyy so I sanded down the leading edges at the base. That loosened them up too much. My **** poor sanding skills might also be to blame.Toobz said:
I just picked up the R6 in their beta material, but have only used them once so far and it was in a short hungover session in pretty marginal waves. I think there's some potential there
amazing lame sh!t in this thread...stop asking...try your own based on the what you feel.....love the slupr!
Cheers brsnstein.
Took a look at both F6 & R6 today and they look tiny compared to what I normally ride. They may work ok with the channels but man I can see myself overpowering those tiny fins. Shop guys also said at my size they definitely wouldn’t recommend mediums.
I’ll give the Jordy’s a go on Sunday then swap out for the EA centre fin mid session and see.
Edit: then again I just compared the 6’s to EA and there’s not much in it area wise. Will get a better idea after I give the Jordy’s a go whether I go L or M.

I've ridden this combo (KA medium center) three times now and I'm not sure if it was placebo power, but it was the best the board has felt. I was kind of hoping my MF's wouldn't be the best choice (probably why I hadn't tried them yet) in the NB2, since I like them in my Fever and swapping fins when I'm half awake isn't my first choice in the morning, but whatever works.

Stretch fins #'s
#1 is the OG upright template. Think k2.1 like with a parrot beak tip and lots of trailing edge recurve
#2 is the modifified OG template . Think m5 . Not to upright and not to much rake. Parrot beak tip still there but not as much tip area
#3 are the Buzztrollers . William's answer to the split keel.... Think the most current version comes with the #2 quad rears as most of us have came to the conclusion that more rake in the rear feels best with a very upright front fin
