Fin choice

[Magic-Carpet]

i have a 8" fin on my 6'4" magic carpet the old bloke put it there cause the tail kicks out on the standard fin and i can get 3/4 the way up the board if i put a 10" fin on it will it drag to much or will i be able to get 1 foot over

Love the fin setup on your board.
I don't know a lot about longboards but that looks like an awesome 2+1 setup. I bet that rides like a longboard without the weight and aqwardness?

on my 6'6" i got either a 7" or an 8", and i didnt get a foot over, but a small waves closed out and i just steped to the front and it held me, so i wouldnt think you need a bigger fin to get to the noes, its more about the positioning, iv got a 9' board with a 5 or a 6" performance fin and i can sortof get to the noes. Also its about the rake and size of the tip of the fin.
