What fin for K89 ?

Hi all!!!

I have bought my new K89 a few weeks ago. As you know it's followed by 25cm Natural wave fin,which works perfectly with 4.5- 5.2 sails but I would like to use it in lighter conditions for 5.7- 6.2 for freeride sailing as well.
What do you think about crossover fins is going to work better with above sail size?
Your opinion will be appreciated.

Thanks....!!!

I think the Drake Crossover 28 would be a good complement, possibly the 26 if you don't like to "over fin". The crossover 26 will still be a fair bit more powerful than the natural 25.

I use a Drake crossover 28 and works great for my 85kgs bod.

Your advises are really helpfull. I think I'll go for Crossover 28.
