Choosing a longboard fin

Check your board's fin box system before you buy, and make sure the fin base listed in the options matches your boxes. Most longboards take a single fin box in the centre. As a rough guide, a taller fin gives more hold and stability for trimming and noseriding, while a shorter fin loosens the board for turning; many riders pick a fin height close to the length of their board in feet. Move the fin forward in the box for a looser feel and back for more hold.
