The smaller your fins are the looser your board will be. Keep in mind that smaller fins also mean less drive, hold in, and down the line speed. If you have FCS fins I would try a small trailer fin in the back, or even take the back fin out for a super loose feel. Don't do this on a bigger day as you may regret not having the hold in when you drop in to a bigger wave. If you have FCS fins, some surf shops have FCS demo centers and you can try out some different fins and see what sorks best for you before you buy.
Have fun!
