Just picked up a second hand style and was hoping to get some feedback on what others believe is the best fin set up. It can with the standard large sunova stock single fin. Would appreciate suggestions

Supmonkey, great boards Ive had mine for nearly 12 months and love it.its the first 'longboard" SUP ive owned and opened up a whole new world of 'froth'.... never used it with the stock fins. I find most Sunova's are over finned (except shroom which I have gone back to the origional fins after playing with many)..
Currently have a 6.5 centre with either the large quobba's as sides or C-Drives or PC-7's .. Im 95-98Kegs, Have fun it is a great board it has really helped me develop my skill set. Ive had it out in all conditions from ankle slappers to well overhead. Super fun when you get up the front, step back and put weight on the tail and it rips... ENJOY.

I find the best gin for Sunova is Bombay Saphire

Fins (and Gins I would guess :-) ) are very personal, and depend much more of the person, intended surfing style (noserides, hot dogging, swooping carves, quick pivot turns...), waves, than the board itself.

Thanks Wazza.
didn't realise. ??
Although I am partial to G&T in summer, I was hoping for advice on " fins". Colas, I will mostly use it for nose riding point waves like Noosa

I have a Sunova Steeze, and the FCS2 fins won't stay in my fin box at all. Lost 2 in 2 months, both times just on a wipe-out (no rocks or sand involved).

Perhaps, if I drank more gin martinis, I might surf less the next day, and maybe my fins would have stayed in?

I generally change out the raked center for a more "pivot" fin.
10' stiffy for noseriding
But I also like a thruster setup on the Style when performance surfing.
