Need Help with Fin Sizing.
Hi, I am getting a few new boards in the next few weeks. I surf in the Northeast, where waves often lack power even on big days, but it can get powerful depending on swell direction. I am 5'7 X 178 lbs + the 8 pound or so winter gear.
Being right over the cusp of futures' weight range for medium of 145-175 lbs, I am unsure of whether I should go large on all of the pairs I order, medium or what.
I've been on a medium size pair of blackstix 2.0 for the past several years as my sort of staple fin.
Looking for commentary from folks on the lower end of the large size fin weight range and what their experiences have been with both twin + trailer sets (for my small wave performance/all rounder) and for thruster and quad sets for my performance/step up
Would love to know whats faster, easier to maneuver, and gives best balance of hold size-wise. I like to surf top to bottom.
