6.3 Gasoil fins for SL 66 and 75

Hi Guys, I have just bought an SL 66 and the SL 75 is on its way. I use the SL 66 with a TR6 7.6 and I will use the SL 75 with a TR7 8.4.
Re fins, I did order a gasoil 6.3 in 40cm for the SL 66 and a gasoil 6.3 in 46 cm for the SL 75. Unfortunately gasoil sent me a 38cm and a 44cm.
Has anybody tried these fins and do you also think that the size might be too small for the boards? I sail in Sydney where we do have light wind and somehow patchy conditions...I am keen to get your feedback. Emile

Hello BDK3
Let's try it in english.
I use the SL66 with TR 7.6 and 6.6 and my fins are gasoil 6.3 for this board too. I ride with the 7.6 and 6.3 40 in "standard conditions", and i use a 6.3 36 when it's strong and with the 6.6 TR; my weight is 75 to 77 kgs, it depends on the day before's beer... So, the 38 can be the good and universal size for you, from 7.0 to 7.6, but i think it will depends on you weight and on your style (ride on support or not,...).
I sailed with it last week-end on the atlantic seaside, 9°in the water, cold wind, penguins,...
Cheers, from French countryside.

Salut Seb, on peut aussi en francais!! Thanks for the information. I am 85kg and I think that 38cm and 44cm will be too small. I will go for 40cm and 36cm. Bonne nav!
