| 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? |
