Christchurch Estuary, NZ

Carbon Art 82, KA/R 5.2, Maui Delta 18 & Tribal 16   ..remarkably similar best speeds with the two very different fins:

 2 Sec             .....  Maui Delta - 28.777 knots    ...Tribal 28.836 knots

100 metres     .....                     27.889    ...                  27.818

Alpha             .....                     21.136   ...                    21.292

..Seems to very much confirm to me, that by far the most significant limitation to higher speed - is the pounds per square inch I can put down on the actual planing surface area of my board. ..To get into 30 knots I almost always have to be railed in an arc through 120 to 130 degrees off ..Railed = more PSI down on less surface area.
