Plesase, aid to choose the best fins for sl-56. Weight 70 kg, I sail with RS Racing 5,0 / 5,4 / 5,8 / 6,2 / 6,7. In order to sail in slalom doing "8".
Thank you very much.

Because Tectonics and not Deboichet, it is better? Because SL-4 and not SL-2?
Thanks you very much for you reply!

Tectonics is very fast, easy to get and cheaper.
Deb SL2 is good only for bigger boards.

I am not sure that the SL4 deb. is the best choice for the warp. I find that this fin "lift" too much the board in the gust..and no so easy to go upwind.
No pb of lift with the tecto F1 but difficult upwind too.
Perhaps the best choice is the talon...(just heard about, need to try).
For me best choices are Gasoil elliptique 8,5 (30 cm/56, 33/61, 36/66)

Thanks MM.
I now use Debo SL-2 and am contented. In up wind goes very well.
It wanted to change to SL-4 but in I Deboichet are very informal, for that reason I am looking for other options.
Gasoil do not know them...I am going to see in the Web
That it seems to you hurricane SR-D?
Thank you very much.

I have only tried Deb SL4 and Tectonics F1 Falcon fins on my SL56, not another Deb or Tectonics fins. I agree with MM, SL4 seems not to be a good choice for this board, I hadn"t found good balance with it and the power to go upwind was quite limited. With the F1 Falcon the balance was better but still a bit difficult to go upwind (this fins is more downwind or speed oriented). Now I have purchased some Deb Upwind fins, but I haven't tried them for the moment with this board.

BR,
François

Hello and thanks Francois.
I use Deboichet SL-2 in measures 26, 29, 32 and 34 cm. following the wind and of the water plane. They are very good, mainly in up wind, but fodder that model SL-4 is faster and with better control. Also I like Huricane SRD, but I do not have references.
MM recommends Diesel oil to me, Elliptical 8,5 but not model if wind works very well in up.
Know somebody the C3 fins?
Thanks and greetings.
Pd.: I feel it, I speak little English

Hello and Francois thanks. I use Deboichet SL-2 in measures 26, 29, 32 and 34 cm. after the wind and of the water plane. They are very good, mainly until in the wind, but the forages that model SL-4 is faster and with better control. Also I like Hurricane SRD, but I do not have references. MM recommend Diesel oil for me, elliptical 8.5 but not of model, if the wind works very well in a maximum. Somebody knows the C3 fins? Thanks and greetings. PS.: I feel it, I speak little English

Hi Guys, i like a lot the talon from tectonics in 32 on 10 % thickness. I have tried the 32 talon in 9.5 % and it is very good too. I use that i Gran Canaria. I dont like Sl2, very slow, Sl4 too unstable, sopinout.., tectonics is the way to go on the small sizes.
MAybe some Ifjus that will come very soon.
BR, Gonzalo.

Hi,
I usually use the Warp SL56 with a Select S09, it's great. I've already tried the board with the Deboichet SL2 fin and I had the same impression than Gonzalo, it's really slow. I've tried the SL4 too but I can't say that I went often to a spinout because I'm not so heavy.
If Gonzalo says that the tectonics fins are good on those boards, they must be.
My dad always told me that the best fins for the Warp SL boards are the Select fins because the board has been made to go on a Select. The hole developement of the board is made on the Select. When he went out on the water to try the board, he never used something else then a Select. http://www.select-hydrofoils.com/en/selector/exocet-warp-sl-formula/

Suprisingly; Select S07 works better than S09 on Warp SL boards.
But the Talon is in another category in performance.
You must try it.

Hello guys, thank you very much by your aid.
Thanks Cedric B.
Hola Gonzalo, muchas gracias y un saludo en nuestro idioma.
I have several mark and models, but I want your opinion. I am going to prove SL-4, Huricane, C3, Select 09 and 07, Lessacher... and everything what can. Tectonics I do not have, but I am going to buy to compare. I will already tell you.
Thank you very, very much.
You excuse my English.
