The two largest manufacturers of dedicated raceboards - Starboard and Exocet, have respectively chosen the Drake R19 NR Race 48 cm and the Exocet race 52 cm as a good all-around fine on their Starboard Phantom 380 and Exocet Elite 380.
A guess on the characteristics of a good allround raceboard fin could bee following;
- Vertical or near vertical, to keep the lateral center as fare forward as possible
- Narrow core - reducing drag and for not pulling lateral center back
- Thin profile - minimize resistance
- Good downwind capabilities
- Good to keep planing
- Easy to use
