Recently bought a second hand starboard formula 159 (2005). But where I surf, the water is very shallow (and weedy) so I can't use the standard 70 cm fin.

So I am looking to buy another, shorter fin. But people told me that I can't use a (normal) fin thats 40 or 50 cm for example.

They say that if I need a shorter fin I must pick a weed fin.

Honestly don't know enough about fins to decide, so I hope someone could tell me what kind of finds (length, type, etc) I should buy.

kind regards,

John Kimball
