Hello from Greece. I own the 1st version of the Blast. I really love the board and it seems to be a bit lighter than the newer models. Is that due to the finbox change? Anyway to the point. I had bought it with a 34 G10 JP Fin (the one that has a longer chord). I sometimes find it a bit difficult to get planing even when i start pumping or being more active on the board or even switch around my setup ( mast position-outhaul etc). Could it be due to a bigger drag of the specific fin? I mostly sail in choppy waters and sometimes on marginal winds it could be a bit frustrating.
My quiver consists of a 5.0 Gator, a 5.8 Duotone E-type and a 7.0 NCX. What do you think would be an upgrade to my current fin?
