light wind fin to go with Evo 80 (last years model)

I know Ola's answered this several months ago... but I can't find the post...
What fin works the best for 5.7-->5.2 conditions w/ the E 80 - last years model- I know there were many comments on the stock fin being to small for light wind conditions (I weigh 200 #)
Thanks

On the evo 80 I use the standard 23cm fin for good powered up conditions.
When the winds are slowing down or have to go upwind I change to a onshore wave fin 25 or 26 cm ( have a truck load of fins ! ) . The 80 gets a more freeride
feel without sacrificing to much turnability. With your 200lbs dont be afraid to go to a 26cm. There is really a huge tuning potential with fins on the Evo 80 ! ps: my weight 84kg .

thanks FE
I ended up getting a 25cm True Aims Enduro Wave fin that seems to work well w/ a 5.7 (and hopefully up to a 6.2).
