Just some observations re. Kombat fins.
'06 models were supplied with small wave fin and larger freeride one. This suited K's convertible use very well, but I've found that I use my K86 mostly with Select freestylewave 27 cm fin. Drake is too flexy unless you actually ride waves (but good in some b/j situations) and freeride is for the lightest winds only.
So, while '07 models come with only one fin (and this is a loss in a way), I think it's the right one with regard to board's sweet spot & range (confirmed this after a session on '07 Kombat).
