I've spoken to quite a few guys who ride (competantly) and the style varies from D's, hatchets, and Greenough style. But what's surprising is that the lengths aren't often as long as you'd expect, from 9" to 11' even on 12'ers. One guy is using a 9" on a 12' board.

Whilst the Wegener's have the big fin set, my 11' Liberty Foils runs on a single 8 inch True Ames rake and the 11'8 Josh Hall has a 6 1/2 inch centre with GL side bites.

this 10'4 Carabine is ridden with a single 9 1/2 inch Nat Young raked True Ames. Nothing else comes close to the feeling I get with that fin.

One of them is on my dream board list but sadly our waves mean it wouldn't get used a lot. Just have to be happy with one of his mids.

Why wouldn't you get the fin designed for it? Christenson fins are available through captain fin.

Yeah that's the one...you just gotta choose the size which they don't really give any guidance on...the 9.5 looked about right
the template is quite similar to greenough...so thought more people would know what style of fin I was looking at, but yes it's the captain one u get stock.
yes this board has been on my list for a while too...hopefully it'll be in the rack sooner rather than later

I just bought a couple of Greenough 4A fins from True Ammes, a 9-1/2" and a 10" to try in mine when I can finally get to surf it.
I also know Josh Hall has used some of the True Ammes 'Skip Frye' fins in some of his gliders and they're only 9-1/4" long.

The golden rule is to get a fin the same size as your foot. So if you take a 9 and half foot size . Get a 9.5 fin.
Its really that easy

So by that theory you'd run the same length fin as a single in everything from a 7' to 12' board?

Sweet. I'd go the 10, I find they feel a touch smaller then the dimensions but I use them mainly as singles in mids or as a 2 +1 in a lb.

Tudor fin might also be a good option. They have a narrower base so I tend to use a longer fin then I normally would in them.

So after contemplating either a Tyler, Thomas or Chriscraft I decided to go with the Glider.
It's something different, the other two are great boards but would be similar to other boards I already have and couldn't justify the double up.
Cant wait to have a surf on this puppy in the morning!

Bit of word play there SP . i'm wondering how heavy it is. It looks pretty well glassed. I'm guessing it would go nice in head high point waves.
