Thank you, Phill and Geo, for replies.

Phil: in your opinion, with this combo (S05 39 cm + 7.3), what should be S-Type 126 limit (in terms of knots) in Ligh / High winds ? In other words:

a) at which wind speed board starts to plane ?

b) on opposite side, at which wind speed you feel of loosing control when overpowered ?

Geo: may be you are right, I know very well Jean-Jacques' fins and their qualities (I use them in Formula racing) but, for this time, I have bought a second hand fin from Urbano (Igea Marina) at a very good price... anyway I think Select makes good fins too.
