rwpanfil, try about 1.0s to 1.5s. Nowadays more people prefer long base shallow fins like the hyperlite p wings or LF XLFs not the surf style fins because the long base fins release easier.

w4k3b04rd3r57, hyperlite makes really low end boards that dont make it on their website. they are still okay boards just a lot cheaper. i know there is like a serpent so there could be a tempest but i havent heard of it. temet doesnt come in 139 right?
