Heaver riders or those who sail with lots of back foot pressure should choose the Type R for more drive and grip. For riders concentrating on pure downwind slalom (or speed) the Type RS has a looser feel and has a higher top end speed. Riders sailing close to the wind and/or on a figure-­‐8 course should choose the Type R. *The same size suggestions should also be used for the Ray 100, 110 & 120. **130, 140 & 152 should use Deep Tuttle bases, however regular Tuttle can be used with longer bolts.

Intermediate riders and/or those on super flat water should choose the Freestyle Classic whereas the more advanced and pro riders sailing landing power moves and/or sailing on choppier water will benefit from the added control and smaller Freestyle Control fins. Intermediate riders looking to extend the use of their freestyle board my also want to consider a WaveSINGLE or Frewave fin for more general/non-­‐freestyle use.

We are able to tune to our requirements well and benefit from added performance. One noticeable improvement for those purchasing the Bamboo construction is changing to a stiffer, more durable G10 fin, this is going to improve all aspects of your sailing while taking the abuse that it gets much better than the supplied GFK fin, this is especially true for the bigger sizes and for bigger sails. Many Hawk riders will be looking for a one-­‐board quiver and by utilizing a selection of fins riders can adjust the ride and feel of the board to ensure hat they are perfectly balanced in a range of conditions with a range of sails and sail sizes. The Type R can be used to increase speed and drive, this is ideal if you are using big and/or cambered sails and are looking to get maximum performance and range with your board. For riders looking to soften their ride slightly and increase ease of use and jibing then the Freeride fin is an excellent choice, which will promote both speed and control.
